Recently the Bonifay Country Club has started to have a loud band playing on Two nights a week. The music is so loud that we can not sit on our lanai and enjoy the evening. We were told when we bought our lot that because Bonifay is so close to houses that they would never have live, loud music. Now that all the lots are sold they have gone against what they said before. Does anyone know who I should complain to?

How about the manager?

I'm wondering who told you that Bonifay would never have loud music. Unless you have a written promise from a Village Official, I think you're out of luck. I don't think there are any guarantees if you buy near a Rec Center/Country Club/Town Square. Pickleball and line dancing in the early morning, music, parties and traffic at night. It goes with the territory.

When I was looking for a house 3 years ago, I looked at a great one near the Bacall Rec Center. I could hear the THWACK, THWACK, THWACK of pickleball games and the real estate agent said I would get used to the sound of it and not even notice after a while. Yeah, right! I decided not to buy that one.

Do not believe what real estate agents tell you - or don't tell you - about a property. I have friends who bought in Chatham and the real estate agent never told them the sound of the trains would be so loud. They moved to Caroline within 1 year.

As for a real estate agent saying that Bonifay would never have outdoor live music, my friend, you are out of luck. Unless you have some written guarantee stating that fact - absolutely nothing is on your side. Enjoy the music - dance - have a couple more glasses of wine - the music will stay.

What nights and how late?

Please do a search for threads concerning Havana Country Club and loud music. Sounds to me, the same thing all over again, almost identical.

but...I think those neighbors called the Sheriff and the music was shut down due to the noise ordinance. Someone correct me if I am wrong. There was a big fuss over the people who liked to go there and hear it and the people close by who didn't want to hear it.

This is a link to the thread about Havana and the music issue there.

Gracie,

When you lived in Hadley, did you hear the morning noise from the Odell Rec Center tennis and pickleball courts?

We live about 3 blocks from Odell Rec Center...when the windows are open one can hear the "twack, twack, twack" from the pickleball courts. We don't think too much of it. When we lived up north our lot cornered with a city park that also had a tennis court, which was right in that corner. We could hear the early a.m. players quite well. We never called anyone nor complained as we knew the park was there when we built our house there.

As for the Country Clubs...that too is a fact of life...the music. However, I think they stop it "early" as I recall. Say like 8:00 or so. I have to wonder about folks who live near the pools...I'd bet they hear folks (families) playing in those as well. That all being said...I've heard of folks moving once they figured all this out.

If you have a problem it seems you live close by why not go over and talk to the manager face to face. I know several days a week the manager is on property. As another poster said the music stops early which is in the ordinance.

If you have a nice house with a pool, I would consider trading. We both love to hear music all the time.

I think there is a thread : WHY DO VILLAGERS SELL HOUSES.

There have been posts about loud music from the squares,the country clubs, loud noise from CR 466A cars ,the garbage truck making to much noise,the train whistle can be heard,golf balls hitting homes along the golf courses, the sirens etc. We live in a quiet community. Coming from up north I don't find this noisy at all. If I sit in the Lanai I hear the pickelballs,I hear the train,the garbage truck etc. Up north I heard it in the dead of winter in my house with the windows closed and the TV on. All I can say is be careful where you buy and look at what's around you.I wish I could have bought on a golf course or by the CC. I to like to listen to the music which stop early. I was all the clubs would have music. I know my next stop will be dead quiet and I'm in no hurry for that. So in the mean time I'll enjoy the noise we have hear. My last comment on this topic.
