1st Assistant Golf Professional

Our Story Set amid rolling countryside and anchored by a stunning lake, Fawn Lake Country Club stands as Fredericksburg’s premier private club—where tradition meets momentum and excellence is constantly evolving. Located within the gated Fawn Lake community, the club offers members a rare blend of privacy, pride, and belonging that extends far beyond the fairways. At the center of the experience is our 18-hole Arnold Palmer Signature Course, fittingly known as “Virginia’s Masterpiece.” Stretching more than 7,000 yards from the championship tees, the course delivers championship-caliber conditions, tree-lined corridors, and an unforgettable test of golf for players of all abilities. At Fawn Lake, golf is elevated—designed to challenge, inspire, and bring people together. But Fawn Lake is not standing still. Over the past five years, membership has more than doubled, and rounds played have more than doubled over the last decade—clear indicators of a club thriving with energy, engagement, and demand. This remarkable growth has transformed Fawn Lake into a vibrant, fast-paced environment where leadership, adaptability, and forward-thinking ideas matter every day. Beyond the course, our tennis, dining, and social amenities continue to grow alongside our membership, creating a dynamic, family-friendly atmosphere rooted in hospitality and connection. Our culture is built on courtesy, dignity, and respect—but fueled by ambition and pride in delivering an exceptional private club experience. As we look ahead, we are seeking the next dynamic, high-energy leader ready to help take Fawn Lake Country Club to the next level. This is an opportunity to make an impact, lead with purpose, and grow alongside a club that is clearly on the rise. At Fawn Lake, our team doesn’t just support the experience—we shape the future.
