I went to cape fear country club to watch my friend play tennis. I saw there was alcohol on a table, I politely asked the man working if it’s an open bar. he rudely said “no it’s for members only”.

I was in Wilmington over the Christmas holiday and quickly took a drive by. Lovely presentation. Amazed at its location. Due to its storied history in NC, I found it to be quite charming.

Unfortunately, the staff at this resort were incredibly rude. For a place that is so well-known and where people spend so much money, I expected professionalism and basic manners.

Hospitality should be at the core of a resort experience, and sadly, that was completely lacking here. I would not recommend this resort.

My friend and I were simply looking around when we were immediately met with disrespect from the staff — under the assumption that we were not members. I can only assume this was because we are women of color in a setting that appeared entirely Caucasian. I am not one to make things about race, but the sheer attitude and lack of respect we experie…
