I initially joined the club in 2000. At that time, it required 3 letters of recommendations and was a place for the fitness-oriented adults who'd like the exclusivity of training at a private club , great ambience , service and dining experience.
But then club was sold and new management took over. We were promised even better quality of service, reasonable prices for the old members and renovated facilities. It took several months to renovate the club during which I was mainly paying the dues.
New management one by one fired all the old employees, brought in a bunch of new ones who all seem rather clueless and they also did not stay for a long time.
New management could care less about all the old members, and only seem to want new members with families who buy lots of drinks and let their kids run wild.
Facilities:
Constant parties to bring more $$$ . Difficult to navigate between the crowd. Kids are throwing food everywhere and literally jumping onto you.
Not accommodated for the people with disabilities. There stairs are hazardous, To get from the ground floor to the second floor you need to get to the end of the hallway and use workers elevator . Then there is another elevator between the second and upper floor . To get there you need to go back to the middle of the hall.
Ladies room
No privacy . Dirty showers with a lot of hair on the floor. Kids screaming and playing inside the showers , while mothers are chatting and drinking alcohol there. Rarely when you can see a cleaning lady there.
Pool
I kept club membership only for swimming , but swimming can only be reserved 3 times per week. During the Covid and winter/spring/fall season it was not possible to use it because water is cold and it is a distance to get from the pool to the shower.
Even for the adults only resort pool from 3:30 - 6:30 its is occupied by KSWIM for kids and for the busy professional it is not possible to get there at 4 or 5 PM .
I was faced with the situation when chlorine was poured into the swimming pool or Jacuzzi while I was seating there.
The family pool now filled with kids, many toddlers in swim diapers (which was not allowed previously) so it is no longer the place for adults.
Dining / Food
On top of the monthly fee, they started to have a quarterly food minimum and if you don't meet the minimum, you will get charged for it anyway. Recently without any announcement * they said that they did it , but I never received one they raise the price. Explanation by Director of the operation was :" The modifications in the dues and the F&B minimum were introduced as part of an annual review process the club undertakes to account for escalating labor and operational expense costs. As per our updated policy, the F&B minimum now stands at $225 per quarter for individual memberships. " If this minimum is not fulfilled within the quarter, the remainder is automatically added to the member's account. Service charges and tax do not apply to your F&B minimum.
I do not have to be "encouraged by $$$$ " to use the dining room in an old club , I was there every week for the great music, ambience and food.
Dining room now looks like a pub with awful tasteless music/singers and filled up with screaming kids.
Food is not healthy ; menu is limited and food is tasteless. The only eatable item there were scallops.
I agree with other reviewers that the " management has proven that they can't be trusted to conduct business in a fair and honest way that is considerate of the members. ' They care the less for the old members. It became a money-making machine. It is no longer an exclusive club it is a zoo.
It was amazing!
Held my engagement party this past weekend at the Griffin Club and it was fabulous -- Christine Noriega-Roessler is the director of special events and was AMAZING! From the first meeting, to the party, to the follow-up after, everything was fabulous. The food was spectacular, the staff was so pleasant and on top of everything and the setting is so fabulous. Can I have every party here?! We will be back ASAP!
Horribly inconsistent place. It should and could be so much better. All they need to do is pay more attention to the member and the people who are there. Not worth the money.
Amazing staff, very fun club with great people. Highly recommend
Inconsiderate establishment ,has alarms go off at 1am disturbing neighborhood area for miles, and has no way to be contacted , spent 13 million on renovations but can't afford a person to answer the phone!!
Visited as a guest. Beaitiful facility with really nice tennis courts. Club is under renovation and will be even nicer when finished. Great location. Everyone was very friendly. Returned last night for dinner. Bar food menu was excellent and food really good. Cocktails really good. Even grandchildren had a great time! Club is tennis focused but the is a good exercise room with good equipment and weights. Children's play area.
I went as my Daughter and Son in law guess for my granddaughters swim lessons and I thought it was a great club.

The staff is so personable and reliable
The facilities are immaculate. The service is impeccable and the staff warm, gracious and incredibly accommodating. We cherish every moment we can spend there. I can't recommend the Griffin Club enough.
I'd give this club 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that it is overrun with kids. OVERRUN.
Its Google blurb states "Griffin Club is the ideal place to get away from the everyday," but if you're a parent and your "everyday" includes kids this is not the spot for you.
It is also very expensive and I heard a rumor they will start charging an additional fee for the classes.
On the plus side it is gorgeous. Especially now that the construction is almost complete.
But I'll be ditching my membership if they add more fees to the high rate and they don't get a hold of the children factor. Not worth the money or the headache when you're trying to get some laps in.
