  • It was the Summer of 2009, Caribbana to be specific. Some of my friends had worked to organize a fantastic golfing fundraiser for the Caribbana weekend which was to be held at the Eagles Nest. Pro-golfers were coming and paying thousands of dollars to play at the event. There were even some members of the club (who I'm going to mention now were Caucasian and you'll see where I'm going with that in a minute). My friend who is a very successful (and well-paid) event planner and fundraiser had been having problems with the club as far as the negotiations for the event were concerned prior to the event date. Although the venue was booked, the Eagles Nest kept increasing the fees she needed to pay which later she concluded were because they figured that she would be unable to come up with the funds. And why was that? Well, read on. When we all showed up for the event (and may I remind you that it was a Caribbana event!) we were not allowed on the property. My friends' car (and I in it) were informed that the fee had not been paid and that the event had been cancelled by the club. My friend immediately called her sister who had planned it and she was at the front door arguing with the manager. It turned out they just didn't want black people on their course!!!!! Why the heck would they have booked a CARIBBANA event?! We all refused to leave of course and the pro-golfers started rolling in (many influential and wonderful people). So a summation of our day? Racist slurs were yelled at us, someone who worked there LITERALLY tried to run us over with a golf cart and was laughing about it. The individuals who had previously held memberships there, withdrew them and not until words were exchanged with the manager. And the best part? It was caught on camera because we had a crew there to film the event. I don't know what they ever did with the footage, but I do know one thing. If you go to the Eagles Nest, you are going to a golf course that represents inequality and racism. I only wish I could give this place a -5 stars.
