Unhappy Priority Pool Membership..and Havana CC!

I am truly not writing this to bash Havana CC...however.....

We purchased the priority pool membership when we moved to TV in August..and yesterday was the first day we had the opportunity to use it!

After a beautiful morning golfing at Bacall, we decided to continue our day by having Bloody Mary's and lunch at the pool at Havana. We chose our chaise's, got all set up and waited for the server to approach us and ask for our order. He started toward us, wished us a good afternoon and started to continue on his way. I asked him if he was taking orders for drinks and lunch and he told us that "I am no longer serving lunch out here because of issues" and that if we wanted something, we had to go inside to the bar and order ourselves. We were somewhat taken aback and VERY disappointed.

I went to the bar and the same server passed by and apologized. I told him I didn't understand why he couldn't serve us outside and he started to tell me about the "issues". It seems sometimes they can and sometimes they can't serve out at the pool, but before he could tell me why, the bartender spoke up and told him to tell everyone they just had to come inside to order. I am assuming that the order came from management and he was doing what he was told to do.

I ordered wings and nachos which were delivered by the bartender about 10 minutes later. They were brought in "to go" containers...no plates and 2 little packs of condiments (fork, knife, one napkin). It is literally impossible to eat wings and nachos and use just one napkin.

For those that might ask, no, I did not complain to management because I really didn't want to waste my precious time around the pool since it was my only day off from work and I didn't want to give up any sun time to go searching for someone in charge.

I am just wondering if the other country clubs do the same thing? If yes, then we will give up our "priority pool membership" since the reason we purchased it in the first place was to have the opportunity to enjoy lunch around the pool.

Thanks in advance for any advice and comments!
