What is this place? Is it a meeting room for old guys to yuck it up and talk politics or religion?…read moreIs it supposed to be a coffee shop? Is it a venue for music? I'm not sure. In my opinion and based on my experience here, it is not a coffee shop. Tim Horton's it is not. A small town cafe serving up coffee drinks and pastry it is not. I don't honestly know what it is or is trying to be, except that it drove me away in a fast hurry. The weird signs and posters all over the windows and doors and the life size stand cutouts of certain political figures, ones that will certainly bring out either extremely hot or cold emotions, and nothing that wouldn't provoke a response, were all weird and seemed destined to keep a large segment of the population away. I found that strange and insulting. The overly religious and preachy tone to the signs and the political sayings and cutouts were just too much. It was like the owners don't want anyone who thinks differently than them to come inside. Okay. Is that good business sense? I don't think so and I've never seen a business place so much emphasis on the owner's personal opinions so much. I know that I'm not in the least bit tempted to go back, other than to walk by out of idle curiosity. I walked in and saw nothing but a weird little makeshift storefront passing itself off as a cafe. I was expecting a typical coffee shop, although I knew from the signs plastered all over the door and windows that it would be no ordinary coffee experience. Still, I would expect something that seemed at least like it was attempting to be a coffee shop with various coffee drinks, etc. This was a strange meeting room for people of a similar ilk only. Just serving a cup of coffee does not make it a coffee shop/cafe. Where's the espresso and lattes? Forget about it. I thought it was dirty and unkempt, really unorganized and filled with political and religious signs, sayings and paraphernalia, and that it did not resemble any cafe I've ever been in since coffee shops became a thing when I was in grad school. This was not a a cafe or coffee shop and putting the phrase "coffee shop" in the business name is kind of false advertising in my opinion. I was uncomfortable and immediately felt the need to leave. This is also listed as a music venue on Yelp. Where? It didn't strike me as a music venue at all. If some guy walks in off the street with a guitar and strums a bit, does that make it a music venue? Well, I didn't even see any guy with a guitar of the street, so I don't really get it, but if that makes it a music venue, that's news to me and everyone else I know. I didn't see anything that looked or felt like a regular coffee shop here. It looked like a meeting room for a bunch of guys with like-minded opinions to drink black coffee and wax poetic about the way the world used to be or what's wrong with American society or whatever. I was turned off and offended and will not return. I found the signs and paraphernalia off-putting, upsetting and the obvious undertones unsettling and even bigoted. Signs telling potential customers and anybody walking by the "right way to live" and everything were too much of a turn-off. I was curious to see what it was like and found out for myself and came away unimpressed. The owners are entitled to their opinions, but they're supposed to be running a business. I'm entitled to spend my money and time where I choose to and that's my choice as a consumer with disposable income.

I was a member for years and it is a great course. When I signed up in the early 2000's it took…read moreme around 3 years to get into the club due to the wait list. I am no longer a member as I no longer play golf due to an unrelated injury that makes it painful to play. My kids and wife really did not have much interest in golfing, so I decided to drop my membership. The other poster who said that the pro said "you will never get in" was talking about the fact there was a 4 year wait list around that time, not about his attire. When I was a member, the people were always friendly and I could usually strike up a game by myself, or get together with someone else who was playing by themselves or less than a foursome. This is a GOLF Club more than a "Country Club" as there is no swimming pool, or tennis courts...

Me and my friends received a free 18 hole outing from a benefit to Clio Country Club. We were…read moretreated poorly and chastised twice. Once for driving the cart to close to the rope surrounding the greens and then told to let members play thru no matter how many behind us . We were very respectful of the course being seasoned golfers ourselves. The course is beautiful but I would not feel comfortable golfing there again.

We recently hired Jeff to play at our wedding in the Florida Keys and from the minute we started…read moretalking, the experience was perfect. We'd waited until 2 weeks before the wedding to find entertainment as our original band fell through. Jeff understood and was very quick to communicate and answer questions, and as opposed to many Miami entertainers we looked at, he was reasonably priced. He ended up being the best choice for our wedding. He sounds EXACTLY like Frank Sinatra! We were going for an upscale, adult beach party and he fit right in. His band is talented and professional, and each of our guests commented on how well his music fit into our magical evening. He arrived on-time, and played everything we asked, and allowed us to pick our own playlist for breaks. It was a delightful experience, and our guests are still raving that ours was the best wedding they have attended in years! Thank you for being awesome, Miami Crooner!
