The legacy of the Lansdowne Club began in 1958 and now stands as Lexington's
oldest membership club. The concept began with the developers of the Lansdowne
subdivision, C. B. McEachin and J. W. Davis, Jr. Their original vision was to
draw potential homeowners to the subdivision by promoting the benefits provided
by the club.
In 1999, the club was purchased by Bill Varney and remained under his ownership
for the next six years. At the end of this time, the buildings were in great
need of repair and it looked as if the club would have to close. Through the
devotion of its members, the club was able to operate while searching for
owners who would love the club as much as they did.
In 2005, Lexington natives Ron and Troy Turner decided to purchase the club for
renovation. They were driven by their desire to save the historical club and
make a significant contribution to the community it had served for forty-seven
years.
During the renovation process, it became obvious that the original buildings
would need to be completely leveled in order to restore the splendor of the
club. The new buildings were completed in 2006 and the club reopened in May as
The Signature Club of Lansdowne.
The Signature Club is now a facility whose focus and intent is building
relationships throughout the community while providing year round family fun.
Just a few of the amenities the members enjoy are: a magnificent grand ballroom
for special occasions (rental available to members and the general public); a
state-of-the-art pool; water slides; tennis, basketball and volleyball courts;
and a complete workout center with cutting edge technology, steam rooms &
saunas. A visit to the club will reveal many other advantages to club
membership.
Many members and guests have made special memories over the years and hold this
landmark in the highest regard. Throughout its history, it has fulfilled many
roles such as class reunions, high school and college dances, wedding
receptions, political functions, and various fund raisers. The club was also
host to the UK Bash for many years. In addition, it carries on the honor of
being the home of award winning Lansdowne Gators Swim and Dive Team.
The Signature Club of Lansdowne is rich in history and looks to the future with
new facilities that can be enjoyed by all ages.
