University Club of Tampa Located on the 38th floor of the Tampa City Center, University Club of Tampa is the longest-tenured, member-owned, nonprofit 501C-7 entity in the area. The UCT offers complimentary continental breakfast every morning, a heavy gratis hors d’oeuvre station every evening from 4-7 p.m., and a reasonably priced “heavy pour” happy hour for members and their guests. The club also offers an elevated a la carte lunch experience, which is available from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday-Friday. University Club of Tampa does not provide nightly dinner service, but it does offer two or three themed, seasonal dinners each month. Calendars can be found on the club’s website. Reciprocal members receive a 10% discount off the best rate available at the Hilton Tampa Downtown, which is connected by an enclosed walkway to the Tampa City Center, granting easy access to the club.

hen it comes to scope and style, MAC might be in a class by itself, but that’s no reason for members on the move to ever settle for second best. Thanks to the club’s reciprocal relationships, members have access to nearly 90 reciprocal clubs offering excellent amenities around the world. From Alaska to Taiwan, some of the best social and athletic clubs open their doors to members with advance notice. This month, The Winged M introduces two of MAC’s newest reciprocal club partners in Calgary Winter Club and the University Club of Tampa. Whether seeking skating, curling, bowling, and an indoor water park when exploring America’s neighbor to the north, or searching for superior dining experiences in the sundrenched south, options abound! As readers plot the vacations and business trips of the year to come, Calgary and Tampa offer compelling reasons to build in an extra afternoon, evening, or whole day to enjoy the exclusive perks of their membership.
