A little history will help explain.

From 1992 to 2007, Lakewood Oaks Country Club Ltd successfully operated the Golf Club and made many quality improvements.

Then in 2007, the Lakewood Property Owners Association purchased the golf course assets through their controlled company the Lakewood Holding Company, Inc., with it remaining a private club.

In 2017, The Lakewood Oaks Golf Club changed their name to Lakewood Oaks Country Club to reflect the country club lifestyle that had evolved after the acquisition and its location in Jackson County’s premier lifestyle living community, Lakewood.

Lakewood Oaks Country Club members and Lakewood Property Owners Association members are encouraged to take full advantage of the golf course, dine at our two restaurants, The Argyle and St. Andrews Pub, and participate in other events taking place at The Club.

If you are interested in joining the Lakewood Oaks Country Club, call (816) 541-2448 or (816) 373-4326 or go visit lakewoodoakscc.com for more information regarding membership.

Any visitors to the Clubhouse, offices, and the restaurants within must be clothed appropriately. Golf or Business Casual attire, including shoes, are expected when coming to the restaurant to eat or to play on the course. Swimsuits are not considered appropriate attire and should not be worn into the offices or into the restaurants.

Who is apart of the ARB/ARC?

The ARB/ARC consists of volunteers who are residents of the community. The primary function of the ARB/ARC is to work toward keeping property values up by enforcing guidelines that promote continuity and consistency within the Lakewood community.

LPOA amenities and neighborhoods are patrolled 24/7 by our Community Service Personnel. They can be reached at (816) 373-1500, 24 hours a day. Our staff assists in making our community safe for residents and property owners by observing and reporting disturbances on LPOA Common Ground, suspicious activity, unfamiliar vehicles and making hourly house checks for residents on vacation. Lakewood is considered one of the lowest crime rate areas in the metropolitan Kansas City area.

The Lakewood Community Service personnel works closely with the Lee’s Summit Police Department. Please contact the Lee’s Summit Police Department before contacting the Lakewood Community Services if you see or would like to report any suspicious or unsafe behavior, as Community Services personnel are not security. They are not armed, nor do they have the training to handle such cases.

As a courtesy to our residents, Lakewood has a resident phone directory published online and consistently updated. It is for your personal use ONLY. Every effort is made to protect our residents from their information being used for commercial purposes. If you would like to be listed in this directory, you will need to complete the directory form that is a part of the New Member packet. The information will then be provided to our directory publicists.

To view the Resident Directory, you must be logged in to lpoa.com, select Members Area, Resident Directory.
