Set along 13.5 miles of Smith Mountain Lake shoreline in Penhook, Virginia, The Water's Edge Country Club pairs lakefront scenery with a private club experience built around an 18-hole golf course designed by R.F. Loving, Jr. Established in 1988, the course offers views of both the Blue Ridge Mountains and the lake, with fifteen of its holes visible directly from the water. The club's 36,000-square-foot clubhouse serves as its social centerpiece and features a sophisticated interior for private gatherings. Its event space includes a beautifully restored chapel overlooking the golf course and lake, alongside indoor spaces suited to weddings, business meetings, and private celebrations. Personalized service and lake and mountain views are part of what the club offers for hosting a special event. Beyond golf and events, members have access to tennis and pickleball, swimming, fitness facilities, an equestrian center, and boating and fishing on the lake, rounding out a family-oriented lakefront lifestyle.

Lakeside Park Club has anchored its corner of Richmond, Virginia since 1896, when philanthropist Lewis Ginter first developed the property as a public park with a clubhouse, boathouses, a pavilion, and even a zoological garden. Today it operates as a private club built around a 1920s Donald Ross golf course design, a traditional links-style layout that borders the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens along the lake that gives the club its name. For weddings, galas, and private events, the club offers three spaces suited to different gatherings. The Ballroom, the largest, seats up to 180 guests for a plated dinner or up to 200 for a cocktail-style reception, making it the venue's primary space for weddings and large celebrations. The Terrace Room accommodates up to 75 seated guests or 100 for a reception, a fit for mid-sized gatherings, while the Lakeside Room offers a more intimate setting with lake views and seating for up to 25, suited to board meetings or smaller private gatherings. Beyond its event spaces, the club's grounds include three clay tennis courts, a hard-surface court, four pickleball courts, and a junior-Olympic pool with its own poolside bar, amenities available to members and their guests alongside golf and private events.
