Am full time resident for 10 years, coming to The Villages for 16 years. I have brought many visitors to our wonderful community and never have I been ashamed of anything we offer until recently. Have you been to the Nancy Lopez pool bar lately. In my opinion it is in drastic need of some paint and updating. Who owns it? Who is responsible for upkeep. Thanks.

The pool bars is operated by Lopez C.C. restaurant. The pool is part of GMS as you must be a priority golf / pool member to use the pool.

Thanks for stating the problem and bringing it to the rest of us who pay for country club golf/tennis/pool upgrade.

One lone voice "telling a manager" who likes the status quo (because not spending to improve it will make his budgets look better at bonus time) will not have much of an impact.

Will observe and write GMS. We don't pay extra to be embarrassed by tacky surroundings when bringing friends (or when just coming by ourselves).

What is wrong with it exactly?

Priority membership not required to eat in the restaurant.

How do you pay for these upgrades?

I don't believe a priority membership is required to use the CC pool bars - just the pool and environs are an up charge.

Correct about using the bar at the pool. But the bar is an integral part of "the pool and environs".

If the bar is allowed to be shabby, so is "the pool and environs" for which we pay extra:

Have you personally gone there? Most of us go inside to the restaurant to eat. We went there once after golf and it had a simple menu and we didn't notice any run down condition.

First of all it's a pool bar. Meant to be casual and unassuming. Far from shabby.

I haven't noticed that on my visits. At a pool I'm sure there are always spots that need a paint touch up, but not enough to come on here and say "in drastic need".

I have been there many times and I think the most important thing to keep in mind is that it is a pool bar - nothing more, nothing less.

When I picture in my mind what a pool bar would look like if it were (in the words of the OP) in "drastic need of some paint and updating," the image is much different from the Nancy Lopez pool bar.

The on,y thing about the Lopez pool bar that bothers me is that the around the door handle is always VERY dirty. I always say to myself(I know I should say it to personnel there), if they can't simply wipe around that door handle everyday what else don't they wipe around? The bathrooms could use a little updating, but it is after all just pool bathroom. Also used by tennis players .

Here's the pool. Took this picture while having lunch after golf. Nice atmosphere and service
