Like many women's clubs in Florida, the Hollywood Women's Club was founded in 1922 during the Florida Land Boom years. In the 1920's women's clubs were formed to give back to the community. They became a way for women to get out of the house and assert their independence. They allowed women to get involved in politics and launched the women's rights movement. The Hollywood Women's Club predated the founding of the city and in 1924 they joined the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The first club members were the wives of officers in the J.W. Young Organization which was the development company building Hollywood. They met in the first clubhouse that was built on land donated by the founder of Hollywood, Joseph W. Young in 1927. Early club projects included donating hundreds of books to the first public library, holding tag sales to pay for health screenings for children, giving migrating farmers assistance with housing and welfare, getting the Miami Telephone Co. to bring the first telephone line to town, and collecting $12,000 during a war bonds drive. Today the club supports literacy programs, funds a youth scholarship, participates in the Hollywood Historical Society, supports the neighborhood crime watch, and provides financial aid to many state charities through the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The original plans for the clubhouse included an ornate Mediterranean Revival style. After the collapse of the land boom due to the Great Depression and several hurricanes the design was scaled back to a more affordable $25,000 Classical Revival style building in 1927. The building was listed as a a local historical landmark in 1985, and added to the National Register of Historic Place in 1995. Between 2012 and 2014 money was raised by the club and added to a grant to prevent the clubhouse from sinking into the sand. Other cosmetic work was also completed on this charming historical building. In 2022 the Hollywood Women's Club celebrated their 100th anniversary. During this time further electrical improvements and upgrades to the kitchen were made. Today the clubhouse is available to be rented for private events. The 1,200 square foot main event room has hardwood floors and a grand piano and can accommodate 60 people. There is also a catering kitchen. Information on how to rent the clubhouse and join and volunteer with this important civic organization can be found on the club website. If there are any upcoming events you can find that information as well. For instance they hold 2 round bingo nights for $10. The next bingo night is May 30th and they serve inexpensive drinks including alcohol and snacks. For over 100 years the women of Hollywood have been coming together to improve their local community as well as the state of Florida. Women's clubs have a legacy of helping their communities and it's nice to see that this one is still going strong today.

From the initial inquiry call 6 weeks out to the event day the staff was immediately responsive, informative, kind and knowledgeable.

The venue has been beautifully restored and we were honored to have our celebration here. Would not hesitate to recommend the Hollywood Women's Club venue.

From the view of my hotel room I can see the driving range as well as the 18th and 12th holes. When I checked into the pro shop the staff was rude and very unhelpful. Not even a smile to say good morning. I gave them a pass since it was early in the morning and they had a tournament on the Soffer Course. The course is a resort course so play the blue tees if you're used to playing white tees. 5094 yardstick the whit tees vs 5789 yards on the blue. Overall the course is maintained like a muni. The sand traps were raked well and not heavy. Lots of trash and construction around the course. On the back 9 they had the sprinklers on and I had to drive though and get wet. After the round when I went back to return the clubs the man at the pro shop never asked how my round went. He was just going through the motions. Sad customer service. With paying all most $500 for the round I would expect better customer service and a course that should be in tip top shape. Lots of construction on the course and noise from the machines. Not worth the price. Go play elsewhere.

I recently stayed at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa for a work conference, and…read moreunfortunately, the customer service did not match what I would expect from a JW Marriott property. I completely understand that a hotel lobby can be a busy place, especially at a large resort. However, at one point, a teenager was driving a remote-controlled car throughout the lobby while guests were actively trying to walk in and out with luggage. Despite multiple staff members being present, including the doorman and several employees at the front desk, no one stepped in or said anything. It felt incredibly inconsiderate to the other guests and was surprising to see it simply being allowed to continue. The front desk experience throughout our stay was also disappointing. Several times when members of our group had issues with their rooms, the staff seemed unsure of how to handle them and, more importantly, did not handle the situations with the level of friendliness, professionalism, or hospitality you would expect from a resort of this caliber. It's possible some employees were new, but there seemed to be a general lack of confidence and customer service training at the front desk. The property itself has plenty to offer, including the golf course, water park, spa, and other resort amenities. Unfortunately, great amenities do not supersede poor customer service. At a hotel carrying the JW Marriott name and price point, I expected a much higher level of attentiveness and hospitality. The resort may be beautiful, but the service ultimately left the biggest impression and unfortunately, it was not a positive one.
