Lantana Golf Club

The fairways aren’t as wide as those on other courses, but with bunkers and water hazards on every hole, this was a course I had always wanted to challenge myself on. It’s well maintained, and the food is also delicious.

Went to lunch here with a friend. Ella had a poor personality. When we asked what the "service fee" was on the check, we were told for using the computer and a tip pool. She also told us she would only get 1 cent of the tip pool so it wasn't "really" for tips. There wasn't anyone else in the place, but found it a chore to do refills. Food was ok, but go anywhere other than this place. It isn't worth it. You will quickly have buyer's remorse. No salt or pepper available? Interesting. One good thing - manager came over and asked how everything was.

How far has this club gone downhill over the past few years, particularly this year in the eyes of this longtime member? Here’s a few ways: Going to 7.5 minute tee times this year. Fivesomes. 4.5 hour or longer rounds on the weekends. The course getting overplayed and conditions suffering because of that. Less maintenance so bare spots in the fairways, greenside washouts, no sand at the bottom of a bunker, and walking bridges “fixed” just enough to cause a trip and fall lawsuit. Same guys getting the morning tee times every weekend. Too many tournaments in the good weather months. A range that floods out with little rain despite a recent renovation. Range balls with no dimples. And management that responds to Google reviews but not to member concerns. This is now a public course experience under the guise of a private club.
