Lake Mohawk Country Club

What Lake Mohawk Country Club does

Founded in 1927 as a planned recreational community in Sussex County, New Jersey, Lake Mohawk Country Club operates a 2,500-acre private lake community serving approximately 2,700 resident families from its historic castle-like Clubhouse and Boardwalk headquarters at 21 The Boardwalk, Sparta, NJ. The association owns and operates three lakes, 12 beaches, 25 miles of private roads, an Olympic-sized pool originally built in 1937, walking trails, playgrounds, and a year-round dining venue (the Boardwalk Club Restaurant). Membership is structurally tied to real estate: residents gain access to all amenities by purchasing a home or property within the association and paying annual dues, with a Board of Trustees governing the member-owned entity.

The business extends beyond residential amenities into a multi-venue wedding and events operation marketed to both members and non-members. The weddings division offers ceremonies and receptions across four spaces (The Beach, The Grand Ballroom up to 200 guests, The Tower Suite, and The Den) with on-site catering and bar services, supplemented by an Off-Premise Catering line. Revenue streams are therefore: (1) recurring property-based membership dues, (2) transactional wedding and event revenue, (3) limited non-resident pool memberships, and (4) F&B from the Boardwalk Club. Wedding demand is sourced through The Knot, WeddingWire, Wedding Spot, NJ Bride, Wedding Expos, and the club's Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest presence, supported by an 11-vendor preferred partner network covering photography, florals, catering, DJs, salon, bakery, and planning. Operations are run on the Clubessential club management platform with an 11–50 person staff, including a Banquet Operations Manager (Amber McKenna, 10+ years tenure) and a Culinary Director (Dave Hutsebaut, ~20 years F&B experience).
