Carlyle & Co

Carlyle & Co is a private members' club that has recently been in the news due to a proposed takeover of the Town Club venue of the Hong Kong Golf & Tennis Academy (HKGTA). The takeover, which would involve merging operations at the New World Tower in Central, has faced opposition from some HKGTA members. Concerns raised include issues of unfair access and incompatibility of client profiles. Despite these objections, the HKGTA reportedly intends to proceed with the change of operator for its Central clubhouse. The postponement of the takeover by two months indicates ongoing discussions and potential complexities in finalizing the arrangement. Carlyle & Co's involvement highlights its expansion or integration plans within Hong Kong's exclusive club scene.
