Not Everyone Is Happy At Nicklaus’ Bear’s Club
« on: September 12, 2020, 03:49:29 PM »
The Bear’s Club serves as the residence for notables including Michael Jordan, MIchelle Wie and Rory McIlroy, and others with the bank accounts needed to afford the homes and lifestyle of the tony community.
A report in The Palm Beach Post describes dissatisfaction, at least by a handful of residents unhappy with what they describe as excessive control by Nicklaus over the homeowners’ association. The report references several lawsuits filed by residents and golf club members, discussing concerns that challenging Nicklaus risks their access to the golf club.

Few people are willing to do the work it takes to be happy at a club.
