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!

My sister had her wedding reception here on Sat., 4/28. I'd never been here before then, so I…read moredidn't know what to expect. 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.

Unfortunately the administrator of this league Steven Bagnon didn't honor the prizes promised and even worse he when I claimed my prize he insulted me (I can probe it, he did it by email). And now he is just ignoring my emails. It seems this guy Bagnon is the only person there, so I can't even report his horrible behavior to anybody. bad, very bad that they don't honor the prizes they promised. UPDATE after Tennis-Orlando response: I've proven proved Steven Chagnon unprofessional behavior, because he's been rude (I see he has a history of complaints) and he hasn't honor the prizes he offered to us (players) in the league. But, I didn't know he is also a liar. He does NOT REFUNDED me at all. These are some excerpts (pearls) he wrote me in several emails before he just decided not to ship me the due prizes. EXCERPTS from his emails: "you won't be the first person to have it be a strike to their ego because the results dictate they need to prove it again" "I have enough drama, the results state it's the right move. But you can be a dick and I'll let you into Elite" After last email, I decided not to play the league anymore, he didn't expelled me from the league, I DID because he INSULTED me as it is stated in the excerpts above. He still offered me to play (it is in the excerpt too), but I said NO again. I just asked for the prize he owed me, and since then he just decided to ignore me and not to ship the prize that I won in the courts. I have all the emails to prove he is rude, a liar and not giving players the prizes they promise. Steven Chagnon handles everything in the league, so it is nobody else to talk or complain to.

The other manager the male one seems to be is a good guy and does attempt to be congenial. I have yet to find one member of staff -excluding The male manager who can give an update of when several clay courts are going to be resurfaced and when we can expect to be playing on them again without being seemingly annoyed that I am inquiring. On every Saturday morning that we've played in the last month the courts were not opened on their scheduled time and not even an apology was offered. I've played tennis all over Florida and this center lacks even decent leadership. A change of this manager could only help membership increase and hangs the prevailing attitude people have of the tennis center.

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.
