New to the club. So far, we feel the clubhouse needs some major upgrades. Worn out appearance overall, inside and out terrible. Food - average at best, small portions, high prices. Won't stay members for long if these issues aren't addressed.

Developer Credibility

Developed by Weyerhaesuer, construction began in 1997 on Taberna Country Club. The club members took out a loan in 2005 to buy out the golf club and golf course. In January 2011, Textron Financial Corp initiated foreclosure proceedings because the club failed to make a large balloon payment. Taberna Country Club members filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February 2011 to reorganize the debt according to the Sun Journal. Textron Financial Corp was unwilling to refinance the debt as many lenders have withdrawn from financing golf clubs. The Taberna Country Club is a seperate entity from the master planned community association of Taberna Country Club. Property owners owning in the subdivisions of Taberna Country Club are not required to join the golf club.

We are in the process of researching the updated financial status of the club and will keep you informed.
