What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the club are highly mixed, with strong opinions on both positive and negative aspects. Many members praise the club's relaxed atmosphere, 'old school charm,' and strong sense of community, noting its importance in the Willow Glen area as a year-round heated outdoor pool. Specific praise is given for excellent coaching and the ability to bring personal food and drinks, highlighting a non-snobbish environment.

I love this place. Relaxed atmosphere, great pool, enough equipment. I've been a member of lots of clubs over the years; and of course they all have their good points. This club is by far the most enjoyable. Not a massive club like a club sport, but way more enjoyable. The pool is fantastic.

Kind of cool but outdated and decrepit. Dirt would build up on the pool bottom and the kids pool is so rough our kids get raw bleeding feet after. We moved to another family pool spot.

Old school charm, great community 'The club' really is an important part of the Willow Glen community. With no public pool around, the all year round heated outdoor pool is where to go. Classes and a decent gym are also included in the monthly fee. You can pay a bit extra and get the tennis courts too. Don't let the fact that it's a members' club out you off. It's not snobbish. You can bring your own food and wine, BBQ etc or order in. Facilities are decent but not luxury.

Coach is the real deal! During my first lesson he was already pointing out the 100s of little ways my game could improve. Now, after several more lessons, my game is the best it has ever been and it just keeps getting better. On top of that, he's an awesome guy and he does a great job of making every lesson fun but also action packed and laser focused on improving my game.
