We were at Cane CC at 4:30pm Friday and the only change we noticed is that the waitress explained the happy hour drinks were now 1/2 price instead of 2 for 1.

What a big change!:wave:

I heard they had the heat on

I love you Mulligan! Merry Christmas!

I heard that there will soon be a new owner. He works for The Villages but will own Cane Garden on his own. Was told his name but can't remember it. He is currently connected to The Villages management team that controlled Cane Garden, Light House and Arnold Palmer,s CC. So perhaps very little will change. With a little luck they will up date the TV's around the bar.

This is what I was told. May be correct (which I think it is) or may be incorrect. Time will tell.

Mackie
 

The Village Gourmet is reporting that Mackie is the new owner as of mid December 2012.

Once again, the Morses are slowly divesting...The Daily Sun, Villages transportation, the entertainment department...all bought by the people who ran them for Morse. IRS???

Yes that's the guy that I was told.

My late brother, who lived just off Marion County Road east of the Florida Carriage Museum, claimed to have been one of the first customers at Cane Garden, as he'd come to make sure that my house in Sunset Pointe was a-building properly. He highly approved of the Sicilian Meatloaf and almost never ordered anything else!

Restaurants have the reputation of being among the least stable enterprises known to man! I think that it remains surprising that so many of our fine country clubs are still owned by the same folks!

So long as one doesn't mess with a Good Thing, why shouldn't a good restaurant cotinue to thrive, almost forever?

It appears to be part of their business plan and not new either. They sold off the country club restaurants north of 466 years ago.

Changes.............so there you go ;)
