Went there before Savannah show last night. Had 5pm reserv and they took us to our table quickly. Bottom line service and food was A+.

But the background noise was terrible. I have normal hearing but the din actually hurt. There was no sound deadening materials to absorb the db. Went with another couple and all agreed, so loud. It took away from a great venue.

On the way out I stopped at the front desk and complimented the manager with thumbs up for the food and service. Told him about the loud surroundings. He said “I know…”. Didn’t want to press the topic but. Then we went to see Rocky & The Rollers who were Great! And loud but that comes with the territory.

Consider the noise topic re Glenview as constructive criticism. Anyone else feel the same re Glenview???

Aren't pretty much all the country clubs the same - very loud, terrible acoustics?

Every country club in TV I've been in, is the same. Very poor accustics.

Just a thought, but with a lot of older folks around, I suspect there's a lot more "loud talking" than a typical restaurant/club.

We’ve dined in most of them, but Glenview was OMG. Some sound absorbing material panels on the ceiling and walls would help a bit.

Agreed. Glenview is baaaaad when it comes to noise. Lopez is about the same (maybe a little less). We ask for a table outside, weather permitting. MUCH more relaxed and easier on the ears.

Yes, and they are not "country clubs". They are just restaurants. Regardless of what they call them.

Legacy has the acoustic panels in the dining room!

No, just being accurate. A country club has members, membership dues, and quiet areas where you can sit, play cards, games, or just to socialize with other members, and you don't need to order food. The Villages so-called "country clubs" are restaurants that are open to the general public, and only available to people who buy drinks or food. They are restaurants, not country clubs, and they should not pretend to be country clubs.

We enjoy eating at this “Country Club” but have never noticed excessive noise. We do enjoy the food and service.

But what else would you expect? Crowds + good food + good service = enjoyment, which promotes conversation. Each to their own, but I would never complain about hearing other folks enjoying themselves at a restaurant. Just MHO

Agree!!

Yes I’ve experienced this at Glenview, as well as other restaurants in The Villages and elsewhere. It’s a problem, and sometimes it’s more than a “collective din,” because I’ve had tables right next to mine where the guests are talking and laughing at a really high pitch. Frankly it’s disrespectful and a power grab. It can also ruin a meal.And when this happens, it’s not even kids! Just “big kids” who could care less that they’re disturbing others!

It is not just the country clubs that are loud but most restaurants also. I believe it is all the hard of hearing patrons trying to talk loud enough so they can hear. Not sure sound deadening can fix that. Nancy Lopez put up sound deadening awhile back didn’t help much.

Four of us had reservations for Glenview's patio last year and I couldn't believe how loud the band was. I've never been so happy that they were 2 hours behind schedule so we left. Lopez was heaven.

You’re right! These restaurants give the illusion of a country club because they usually have golf courses attached to them. It’s a smart move on the part of developers, who wanted to create a sense of exclusivity by providing the “feels” of a country club.
