You left out the most important part from the fact check you tried to pass off as your own thoughts:
quote:
As a business move, Trump did allow Jews and African Americans to take membership in the club, making it different from most private clubs in Palm Beach. Trump accepted African Americans and Jews at a time when most private clubs in Palm Beach, Fla., were not open to them. According to the Washington Post, Trump's club was the first to accept African Americans and openly gay couples. But it was a business move, not a crusade. Laurence Leamer wrote in his book, 'Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump's Presidential Palace,' that Trump's lawyer Paul Rampell persuaded Trump of the business value of a wider membership by arguing that Palm Beach had many Jewish residents, but they had no real club of their own.

Everglades is the one. It is old money founded same time as palm beach around 1919. Exclusive - only 500 members who inherit membership from family. It is very exclusive. One is not Most.
Palm Beach Country Club has since the 1950s been primary Jewish membership. It is famous for being where Madoff scammed everybody. Like everything in the south, they didn't allow blacks until after civil rights act.
Fairview Club was founded in the 1950s by blacks, for everyone.
Bear Lakes a Nicklaus course has always been open to all - founded in 1984
