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.

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!

I cancelled my membership in person on February 1, 2026, and what happened afterward has been…read moreextremely frustrating and concerning. When I cancelled, I spoke with Mark Vassallo, who told me I would be charged for February and could use the gym through the end of the month or roughly early March. I accepted that and considered the matter resolved. For context, the last time I actually used the gym was January 19, and when I cancelled I had no intention of using the facility again. However, after cancelling I was still charged multiple times: * $148.04 on February 3 for membership dues * Another fee on February 17 * Another $148.04 membership charge on March 3 That March 3 charge should never have happened, and I am currently disputing it. Even more troubling, when I went back to the gym to address this issue I was given a "cancellation document" that I had never seen before. On February 1 I did not sign any documents and was not given any paperwork. The document I received later contains a signature that is supposed to be mine, but it is clearly not my signature. It appears that my signature was forged on the document, and the other signature on that form belongs to Mark Vassallo, the same employee I dealt with. When I asked Mark for his business card so I could document the interaction, he refused to provide it. Because of this situation I have now filed formal complaints with: * Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (Consumer Protection) * Florida Attorney General's Office * Federal Trade Commission I have also disputed the March 3 charge with my credit card company. While researching this issue, I noticed that many other reviews mention similar billing and cancellation problems, which suggests this may be a pattern. Beyond the billing issues, the overall environment at the gym was also disappointing. Many members and trainers frequently stand around talking while blocking machines and even exits, and I've seen kids running around the weights area, which is unsafe when people are lifting. Between the billing practices, the forged cancellation document, and the poor gym etiquette, this has been one of the worst experiences I've had with a fitness club. I strongly recommend that management address these issues immediately.

Otherwise, it seems like a nice park with plenty of parking, some covered pavilions, tennis course and fields for sports. It also does have a little bit of a nice lake view so that could be awesome for relaxing and/or bird watching. I have not had the opportunity to interact with any staff or make any reservations, if needed, so I can't speak to that.
