Country Club Bylaws Dispute

Summary

The bylaws grant the club discretion in membership decisions, but if a member met criteria before a bylaw change and was denied due to timing, there may be grounds for a challenge. The bylaws lack detailed procedures for updates, which could allow arbitrary changes. The board has significant power over membership and club management. The updated bylaws, effective March 1, 2014, replace all prior versions. Specific differences between old and new bylaws require a direct comparison. Consider consulting a local attorney for detailed advice.
