Bonita Bay to rethink access
Bonita Bay’s top executive said the company will re-evaluate a decision to offer public access at Bonita Bay Club — its private, flagship community.
The developer’s decision last week to create a preview program where prospective members can enjoy full club access without making an equity purchase for the cost of dues only, met with heavy resistance.
The dues would be about $800 a month. Existing members, meanwhile, paid thousands in initiation fees on top of monthly dues for the same access.
“You kind of feel violated,” said Hunter Caffee, a Bonita Bay member since 1995. “It’s always been an exclusive club. Now anybody that has $800 a month can play.
