Fiddlesticks Country Club

Beautiful golf course. Fastest greens I've ever played in Fla.

I've lived here for 25 yrs. Fiddlesticks is beautifully landscaped, has 2 outstanding golf courses, many other amenities & an outstanding dining room. It's culture is one of profound racism & bigotry, however, which pretty much ruins it for me. Looking forward to moving. MLK Day & Juneteenth are the only 2 federal holidays residents are NOT allowed to celebrate. Last Juneteenth at 8:00 in morning I was awakened by loud banging on my door. Head of Security Ryan .Bell told me I had to take down all decorations because FCC residents are prohibited from recognizing the holiday. I then reviewed all Federal Holidays with Ryan, & learned the only other holiday residents were prohibited from celebrating was MLK Day. Ryan assured me race had nothing to do with it (eye roll). Still, useless to argue so l asked if it was okay if I had a cup of coffee first, as they had wakened me, & Ryan replied (loudly), "NO MA'AM. You need to remove them immediately or we will. We have full authority under the Board to enter your premises & take them down. Their authority is final & absolute." (Very rude). I'm still in my nightshirt, so I told them to go ahead. I will add they stacked decorations neatly by my door. IF YOU LIKE JIM CROW LAWS, you'll LOVE Fiddlesticks!

I was there today for a baby shower and it was my first time here. it is beautiful! The staff though are AMAZING- so kind, helpful, attentive, and funny! I will be having any event here in the future and will tell all my friends and family to do the same!
