the El Santiago Club was NOT an amenity. No amenity funds went towards the running of it.

As for the closing of others including El Santiago . . . poor management.

My golf group used to frequest El Santiago till the price of a pitcher of beer went to $10.
Same pitcher is less than $7 at Hacienda pool bar, OBG pool bar & other bars around TV.

Running a business is hard work but running it into the ground is very easy.

Don't get me wrong I miss the El Santigo club as much as anyone. I thought the patio was a great place to sit and was never disappointed in the food or service. But owners must take a very active role or _ _ _ _ happens.
