Tradition Golf Club Reviews

  • Feb 20, 2018

I am a member of Tradition Golf Club and wish to publish the following complaint regarding how the general management and membership committee treat those owners who were rejected for membership after buying a home at Tradition Golf Club on numerous occasions. You never mention that a very powerful vetting process must be taken before a member is allowed membership in the social club or golf club. My sincere hope is that the current membership be aware of the shameless way prospective owners are treated as well as the general public. This is a letter I sent to both the general manager and the CEO of the club which in turn did nothing for the poor applicant I refer to in the letter. If you plan on owning a home or vacant lot make sure it is contingent you being approved for golf or social membership. I will only change the name of the poor soul who was rejected, Mr. Jones

Mrs. Heidi Risk

Mr. Al Castro/ CC

Dear Heidi, we know each other well but am writing to you anonymously today. I have for the past year been following the litigation from Mr. Jones against the club with quite a bit of interest. I was actually looking forward to the trial itself but after speaking to Mr. Jones he told me after four appeals by the clubs high profile attorneys he just quit it. I have been a member of Tradition Golf Club a long time but have been to say the least disappointed in the rejection of possible members like Tony Robbins and by rumor Michael Jordan. I talked to Tony whom your blue blood selection committee rejected more than once. He would have been a fun member. As to Jones I decided a short time ago to contact him also anonymously. This guy obviously is not a person of special interest but the story he told me is pathetic.

There were three brokers and yourself involved in this fiasco. No one including you told this guy there was a very tough vetting process one had to go through to become a golf or social member. He has been a Citrus member for 19 years and there was no vetting he had to go through then. The guy is 80 years old for Christ sake and possibly terminally ill; someone especially the clubs own broker or and you should have warned him. He told me he basically took his life's saving to purchase his home and was excited to meet others his age to play some golf and walk the mountainside. He told me while he was waiting to be accepted he called you and asked if he could: walk his dog in the dog run and also could he bring his two year old grandson to the annual Easter party. You told him no to both. His dog died of cancer a few days later. The membership committee rejected him with no explanation, something I personally do not like. In addition he is a Marine Corps veteran. We honor the Marine Corps here at Tradition each year but excuse me, reject one from becoming a member- give me a break! Legal or no a person that age with hopeful expectations and spending millions of dollars on a home here has a right to know. His taxes pays for the common area roads and our common area landscaping and no, not the clubs common area. I have spoken to several members of the club who all agree with me that changes should be done. We think the membership committee should resign the club and a more liberal voting committee be created.

I asked Jones why he thought he was rejected and he explained to me there were several negative internet reports on line. Really; bad internet reports? Who lives till 80 self employed who does not have something. Can I go biblical: When Jesus joined the Pharisees on the Mount of Olives to stone a woman to death for adultery they asked Jesus "what say you." Jesus replied "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone." We all know the end of that one don't we? To finish here, shame on you Heidi and shame on the archaic system and the members who can as in this case destroy a family's life. I volunteered to help him talk to the media but he explained to me he had a serious illness he is being treated for and though he would not go into detail I suspect he has cancer. He did not want to go to the media. The poor soul sits with his dog’s ashes in the day looking at the wildlife in the pond. This is reprehensible. For God's sake don't give him a membership but let him use his Citrus card as a guest to use the clubhouse and walk the golf carts mountain course. The season is starting soon. I feel very strongly about this issue, will call him in December to hopefully hear something was done. If not I'll do something even if it's just a complaint to the media and give the golf club a Ripp Off report. At least that way no one will purchase a home without it being contingent of membership approval. I'll just post a copy of this letter online. I have spoken to a number of close friends and members of the club who all feel the same as I. How in hell do you and the membership sleep at night. There is something called karma and for sure you guys will get yours. If you don't throw this guy a bone I will contact our entire membership in the form of the same Ripp Off report that likely cost him a membership. These reports appear directly under a web sites home page with no exception.

I was hired at traditions in Wallingford in ct and after two days I informed them that I was pregnant and the following day I was let go. They could not come up with any reasoning and I think that is unfair discrimination. The place is disorganized and they do not Treat there employees fair.
