Assistant Superintendent
About Lake Success Golf Club
Nestled along the picturesque shores of Lake Success in Great Neck, New York, Lake Success Golf Club is a hidden gem of Nassau County, just 15 miles from Manhattan.
The club has a rich history dating back to the early 1920s, when William K. Vanderbilt commissioned C.B. Macdonald and Seth Raynor to design and build a premier golf course. Originally known as Deepdale Golf Club, the course underwent a major transformation in 1956 when the Long Island Expressway was constructed through its center. The Village of Lake Success took control, rerouting and rebuilding the course into the Lake Success Golf Club that exists today.
Lake Success Golf Club has recently completed a comprehensive master plan renovation designed by Joel Weiman of Weiman Design, with construction led by Mike Tilleli of Tilleli Construction Group. This multi-phase project has transformed the course with improved playability, upgraded infrastructure, and enhanced aesthetics. The Assistant Superintendent will play a key role in maintaining and refining the newly renovated golf course, ensuring that championship-level conditions are achieved and sustained throughout the season.
