    As someone who typically spends 2-4 nights a week out on the deep sand courts of Merrill I suppose I have to be a big fan. I love Merrill primarily for the fact that they have 3 fairly well maintained sand volleyball courts and they host sand leagues. Love it! My only complaint is those pesky softball tournaments they like to hold. When those are in town you've got to hike it from your car to the sand courts because you'll be parking all the way out by Publix. The park rangers are really nice and definitely make us gals feel safe when we're leaving late at night. If you like sand volleyball and can play, this place is awesome. Make sure you're up for the challenge though because this sand will swallow you alive.

    Well shaded park with large playground on a hill overlooking two of the three baseball diamonds. Parking lot is about a 30 second- 1 minute walk away from the playground. Bathrooms in round building central to baseball diamonds. Big kid swings are one one side of playground, toddler swings on the other. Small covered pavilion (four tables) is central to playground. Several benches and picnic tables dispersed throughout the playground area. Also see a few small BBQ grills.

    Love their volleyball league! Everyone that runs it is friendly and very communicative. Love the courts especially because they have lights.

So it's hard to understand what you're paying the premium for here. The personal training situation made things even worse. My trainer Jose left Genesis. When he originally went over the contract with me, he never explained that the PT agreement would continue and simply be moved to another trainer. Once Jose left, I had no interest in continuing with someone else and I had communicated that on text on May 27th. I still ended up being charged month after month until I finally noticed it and contacted Genesis in September. Genesis eventually cancelled the PT agreement going forward, but refused to refund the previous charges. I also had unused PT credits and asked if I could use them for pickleball training with Marc, who I've actually been training with for more than a year. It seemed like a pretty simple solution: I have credits with Genesis, I want to use them with a Genesis trainer I already know and have trained with. Wayne answer was that they can't transfer credits between departments. So apparently the money can be collected by Genesis, the credits can sit in my Genesis account, and I can use them with another Genesis trainer... but moving those credits to another Genesis department is somehow impossible. Wayne then offered to have me use the remaining PT sessions with another trainer, including someone who specializes in pickleball, but they still wouldn't transfer the credits to pickleball. After 8+ years as a member, this is pretty disappointing. At these prices, there are plenty of better options in Orlando.

    What a great little private club. It's primarily a dinning and tennis club and it's located right…read morein the heart of Winter Park on Lake Maitland. We had our wedding reception there last summer and we eat there every ten days or so with her parents. The food is always fresh and prepared wonderfully. The layout is really neat and it's a great venue for parties and weddings. They have a huge pool out back and you can access the lake back there as well. One of our favorite things to do in high school was to rent kayaks and explore the lake. The staff are some of the best in the industry and the other members and their families are very nice. All in all, the Winter Park Racquet Club is top notch and we will continue to be members and support the club for years and years to come!

Since my parents don't really hold anything back when it comes to special occasions, I should have known that the club would be exceptional. And, of course, it was. I used to spend some time around this area a few years ago since one of my closer friends used to live here when she still lived at home with her parents. (Her father is a successful doctor of some sort.) I never knew that the club existed, though. It's nestled away in an extraordinarily nice neighborhood full of beautiful homes (one of which I am assuming is my friend's parents'; I can't remember which one it is), the vast majority of which had my friends and relatives in awe as we drove past them en route to the reception. Upon arriving for the reception, everyone went out back to the pool area, which is very spacious and had more than enough room for everyone who attended. (I think that there were at least 150 people ... maybe even closer to 200.) Beyond the pool area is a lake (according to Justin I.'s review, Lake Maitland) with a dock as well as a small beach which, by nighttime, had a bonfire. (I sat out by the fire for 15-20 minutes later that night - it was very nice, though it probably would be even more so during cooler months ... it just was very warm out this past Sat. evening.) Prior to the dinner and reception, everyone hung out by the pool. We were treated to great drinks and appetizers by the very accommodating and friendly staff. The inside of the club is very classy and extravagant. The furniture and decorations were even nicer than I was expecting. There was some great food (grilled jumbo shrimp with herbs and butter, caramelized sirloin steak au poivre, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese pasta bowls, a spring green salad & some excellent sides, including bread and butter) served and I probably would've eaten much more of it had I not been at the club's inside bar for much of my visit. The bar area is somewhat small (15-20 people probably could comfortably hang out there, though we had more for much of the time) but definitely served its purpose and, other than the dance/reception floor, often was considered as the central meeting point for some people. The bartenders inside were equally as accommodating as the ones outside. I hope to visit here again at some point. My mother told me that people who have their wedding reception here are invited back a year later for a return dinner, so we'll see. Hopefully, I'll be able to make it. Overall, having the reception here this past weekend was an excellent choice by my sister and her husband and I'm glad that my parents were able to financially support the decision. I was expecting great things from the club, but I had no idea how nice and elegant it was, and how wonderful of a neighborhood it would be in, until I physically arrived. It definitely exceeded my expectations and I'm sure that most other people who attended feel the same way.
