Dear Athletic Club Members,

Renovations to the Coral Gables Country Club Athletic Club swimming pool and first-floor cardio deck are scheduled to begin Nov. 9, 2026. Both areas will be closed during this work, which is scheduled for completion in July 2027.

Since assuming operation of the Country Club, the city has continued investing in the restoration and care of this historic facility. These improvements will help keep your club safe, enhance your experience and ensure its amenities serve members well for years to come.

We know many of you count on the pool for exercise and wellness, and we understand that this closure will interrupt your routine. To help you plan, we want to explain what will remain available and your options during renovations.

What will remain available

The upstairs gym and Kids Club will remain open, fitness classes and monthly member mixers will continue, and Le Parc Bonjour Café will continue to operate.

Construction may occasionally require temporary closure of the regular stairway to the upstairs gym. When that happens, members may use the elevator near the entrance or the back stairwell accessible through the main entrance foyer. Signs and staff will help direct you.

​

Your options during renovations

• Keep your membership active. You may continue enjoying the available amenities and programs. Beginning Nov. 9, active members will also receive complimentary admission to Venetian Pool while the club’s pool is closed. Please contact Athletic Club staff for admission instructions. Children must be at least 3 years old and at least 38 inches tall to enter Venetian Pool, and proof of age is required.

• Place your membership on hold. You may request to put your membership on hold during renovations. When you reactivate it, you will receive credit for the full unused months remaining on your annual membership. Partial months are not eligible for credit. While your membership is on hold, you will not have access to Athletic Club facilities or programs, and complimentary admission to Venetian Pool will not apply.

• Cancel your membership. You may cancel during the renovation period and receive a prorated refund for the applicable unused portion of your annual membership, in accordance with city membership and refund procedures.

You do not need to decide immediately. You may request to place your membership on hold or cancel at any time during renovations. Our staff can explain these options and help you determine what works best for you.

Keeping you informed

The pool and cardio deck renovations are the first phase of upcoming work at the Country Club. We will share details about additional work and any effects on members as plans are confirmed.

​

Throughout renovations, we will provide updates by email, through signs at the club and on the Country Club website. We will also keep you informed of schedule changes and confirm reopening arrangements as work progresses.

Thank you for your patience and continued membership. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to welcoming you back to the renovated pool and cardio deck.

For questions or assistance with your membership options, please call 305-722-8784 or email us at countryclub@coralgables.com.

Sincerely,
