An exclusive Hong Kong sports club will press ahead with an imminent change of operator for its Central clubhouse despite objections by some of its members about unfair access and incompatibility of their client profiles, the South China Morning Post has learned.
The controversy began about a fortnight ago after private members’ club Carlyle & Co announced it would take over the operation of the Town Club of the Hong Kong Golf & Tennis Academy (HKGTA).
Some HKGTA members told the SCMP that the deal was unfair to them as they had paid up to HK$2.68 million (US$342,200) for their membership, whereas Carlyle & Co memberships were offered at a substantially lower price – as low as under HK$50,000.
