EVERYONE BELONGS AT THE DOMINION CLUB
Sun shimmers off the water and geese take wing. Across the lake, light gleams off a striking copper-roofed rotunda. A golf ball sails through the air with a swoosh; another hits the green with a gratifying plunk. Dust rises from a tennis ball, rebounds across the net, and a winner roars back. Children’s laughter, refreshing splashes, and an indescribably delicious aroma fill the air poolside. Inside the elegant clubhouse, crisp linens and romantic lighting set the scene for first-class dining. These are the sights and sounds of The Dominion Club, one of Richmond’s premier country clubs located in one of the west end’s finest master planned communities, Wyndham.
EXCLUSIVE, INCLUSIVE, AND AN AMAZING VALUE
While many country clubs have the reputation of being elite, The Dominion Club boasts of being both exclusive and inclusive. The Dominion Club offers a full array of amenities in a gorgeous resort-like setting - as one would expect from a first rate country club. Members enjoy golf, swimming, tennis, working out, relaxing, dining, socializing, and kids’ camps and events. Yet, regardless of one’s address or recreational preference, The Dominion Club offers something for everyone. It is truly a place where everyone is welcome, where everyone belongs.
Established in 1992, The Dominion Club has established a solid reputation for its championship golf course and stunning clubhouse. What is less well-known is that anyone may apply for membership: it is not restricted to Wyndham residents. In addition, The Dominion Club membership opportunities are very versatile, ranging from full use of all facilities to more streamlined packages. Corporate memberships are also available for local businesses. Best of all, the cost of a high end county club membership is extremely affordable and represents a tremendous value for the entire family.
DRIVE LESS, PLAY MORE
With gas prices steadily climbing, accomplishing needs and wants close to home is increasingly important. The Dominion Club offers a multitude of a recreation options in one location. Drop off the kids for a lesson or a swim. Play an invigorating round of golf or tennis. Work out, do business. Share lunch and laughter with friends. Unwind by the pool. Why not stay for dinner? Enjoy all this and still have time to run errands just minutes from home. Driving less increases the value of The Dominion Club membership even more, and leaves more time for play.
CURTIS STRANGE SIGNATURE 18 HOLE GOLF COURSE
 The Dominion Club offers unparalleled golf on its 18 hole golf course. The course is a Curtis Strange Signature 18 hole championship layout designed by Bill Love, including a full-featured practice facility.

JUNIOR OLYMPIC SIZE POOL AND SUMMER LEAGUE
The swim facility features a junior Olympic-size swimming pool, as well as a kiddie’s pool. Summer league swimming is a fun tradition and great way to keep kids physically fit and engaged in healthy activity. The Dominion Club’s home team is the Breakers. Swim lessons and water aerobics are available and many activities, such as cookouts, games for kids, and live entertainment are scheduled throughout the pool season. Food and drink service by the pool is first-rate and the adult Tiki Bar is one of a kind.
