Milled-

Club membership and
use faltered a few years
ago, many members of
the local community
wondered what would
become of the Lake
Sinclair
community
feature.
While the club boast-
ed a prime location on
the lake complete with
a pool, clubhouse, and
18-hole championship
golf course, the growth
of restaurants and at-
tractions in Milled-
geville’s city center drew more and more people away from the club and
its amenities. Now, more than two years removed from its sale to busi-
nessman Ted Smith, the club has undergone a transformation making it
one of Middle Georgia’s premier country clubs.
“The Club at Lake Sinclair officially opened in January of 2018 after a
16-month renovation process,” says Jef-
fery Allbright, The Club’s general man-
ager. “We offer several unique services
at The Club at Lake Sinclair, which ben-
efit the Milledgeville Baldwin County
Community and our Membership.”
In addition to its 140-acre golf course
created by Augusta National Par-3
Course designer George Cobb, The Club
boasts such amenities as a 10,000-foot
clubhouse, two resort-style pools, and
the new location of Aubri Lane’s, now
known as Aubri Lane’s at The Club.
After the country club’s many years of
financial hardship, the transformation
it has undergone is striking, to say the
least.
“Ted and Joni [Smith] purchased
The Club, not as a financial investment,
rather as an investment in the Milled-
geville Baldwin County Community,”
says Allbright. “It is refreshing to work
for owners who sincerely believe they
have a civic duty to make their commu-
nity a better place to live. The creation
of TCLS is also used as a valuable tool
when recruiting economic development
in the MBC area.”
