What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
We recently resigned membership to a private country club in a gated community where we live, becuse of disagreements with the GM's marketing efforts for new membership and treatment of our minor son when employed last summer at the club.
My son went to the pool recently as a guest of current member and the GM approached only him at the pool and said there was a new policy prohibiting ex-members from being any members guest. I checked with current members and no one has heard such a thing, but can't rule out it may be written, but never enforced the ten years we were members.
The club has an attendent at the pool entrance where members check in guests, but no one checks anyone on how often they attend or if they were ever past members. So my son was singled out exclusively and the club has no checks and balance programs in place to manage this policy.
So is the GM discriminating against our son by not allowing him to be a member's guest because we're ex-members, but no other member's guest are checked? It feels very personal that the GM is making our life difficult because we exposed his lack of performance.
BTW, the club is now open for public golf play, facilities can be rented for weddings, etc and summer passes to the pool can be purchsed too by non-members. So the club really falls under the public accomidations area.
Do we have a leg to stand or do we tell our son he can't go to the pool even when invited by member's kids?
