Recently we have had not so great dining experiences at Lopez and Palmer’s and Glen View. Be careful!

I’ve had dinner at several country clubs in the real world and none were particularly impressive. Petroleum clubs are a giant step up.

Other than The Anglers Club (Members Only), the rest are ok. If you want to call it fine dining....to me, that will always be subjective. Full disclosure, I haven’t been to all but does one really need to ....its pretty uniform. This is a captive community. You’re measuring between white tablecloth mediocre establishments (that are a little overpriced) and chain restaurants. It’s fine for lifestyle visits or if your goal is to stay in the bubble. If you’re anywhere near being a foodie....and really want to impress family and friends, you park the Yamaha and hit the road in your EV or one of your five gas guzzlers and patronize the independents and family owned spots than line the landscape all the way to Orlando. It’s almost like a college dining hall in TV....you make the best of it and hope they add something new and conceptual to the food court. There’s always the Curmudgeon Cafe and the Snarky Bistro (stay home and cook).....or hit the apps.

Perfect analogy.

Airports and Mall Food Courts also come to mind.

Hmmmm, the threads topic is about dinning at Country Clubs, not Sawgrass Grove. Although Sawgrass does have a Pro Shop located at the end of the food court and is priced similar to airport food, so I guess the analogy applies?
