This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I was induced to join The Eden Club based
on promises given orally, in writing and via website representations that The
Eden Club was one of the “finest clubs in the world” and could give access to
its members through a private “Secretariat” who would arrange golf outings for
The Eden Club members and guests at exclusive golf courses. I joined The Eden
Club based upon these assurances and paid an upfront fee of $100, 000 plus
annual dues for the rights that The Eden Club purported to offer. Repeatedly I found that The Eden Club was
unable to actually fulfill any of its promises and could not get me on any golf
courses when I requested dates. After I
paid my dues I tried to set up golf outings on the courses that The Eden Club
stated its members would have access. I
learned that The Eden Club could only offer its members spaces on the course on
“shoulder” or off season dates and amenities were not offered to The Eden Club
members playing these courses. For
example, I tried to set up a golf outing with guests at Fischer’s Island Golf
course; I reluctantly agreed to the off season dates that were allegedly (as no
formal written confirmation of any dates was ever given) available to The Eden
Club members but I was then told that I should bring a box lunch as no services
would be available to me at the club, no access to showers were available, nor
any locker rooms. For a club that touted that it could give its members access
to “the finest” golf clubs and then only give access on shoulder seasons
without any amenities, is a total misrepresentation and complete FRAUD. They fraudulently
induce their members stating that they offer a club that is one of the finest
in the world but only offer off season limited access to clubs and with
amenities that are Spartan to non-existent.
When I asked to get a refund of my membership, I was sent an email explaining
that I had to pay dues for 5 years in order to be eligible to try to sell my
rights to my membership (at a discounted rate) and I had no recourse to recoup
the exorbitant cost of my initial membership.

I also learned that The Eden Club
was using my name without my permission to endorse The Eden Club stating that I
“swear by” the Club and The Eden Club can “get you on any course you
want…virtually any time you want” which I never said and in fact I had the opposite
experience. BEWARE of this SCAM!
