Question: What entity initially owned and operated what is now called Legends Resort & Country Club?
Context: The Boca Raton Resort & Club, which opened February 6, 1926 as the "Ritz-Carlton Cloister Inn", is a large resort and membership-based club located in Boca Raton, Florida.  Originally designed by California-born architect, Addison Mizner, it was intended to have been the second of two hotels, with the other an oceanfront hotel.  However, the Ritz-Carlton Investment Corporation became involved in the project, and wanted the oceanfront hotel redesigned, so construction began on the then smaller 100 room inn on the west side of Lake Boca Raton.  Throughout the Florida land boom of the 1920s, Mizner visioned and began to plan Boca Raton as a major resort destination.  To that extent a golf course and residential community, the "Ritz-Carlton Park", was planned west of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad.  Today this is the site of Sugar Sand Park and Boca Del Mar.  Nevertheless, the resort didn't gain a full-service country club until the acquisition of the Boca Country Club, seven miles northwest of the main hotel, immediately outside of the city limits. The Union League Golf and Country Club of San Francisco (now called Green Hills Country Club) was constructed in 1929 (opening in 1930) in Millbrae, California, United States.  It was one of the most ambitious golf and country club projects of its era in Northern California.  It was conceived in the prosperous time that proceeded the Great Depression by a prominent group of San Francisco businessmen (primarily Union League of San Francisco club members) who would spare no expense during the design-phase of the project.  The golf course was designed by Alister MacKenzie who considered it one of the top three courses on the West Coast.  The unforeseen economic downturn of the Great Depression caused the club to become financially insolvent and in 1933 it was reorganized as Millbrae Country Club.  In 1945 the club was named Green Hills Country Club. Norwood Hills Country Club, also known as North Hills Country Club, is a country club located in Jennings, Missouri.  Norwood Hills Country Club has a rich tradition and history dating back to the 1920s, when Norwood found its beginning as North Hills Country Club.  It has an excellent youth golf program, and is the home course to Lutheran North High School.  Norwood is very youth oriented and friendly.  It is also known for its high value to cost ratio compared to other area country clubs.  The club has hosted many prestigious events including the National Left-Handed Golfer’s Championship in 1936 and 1940, the PGA Championship in 1948 won by Ben Hogan, the LPGA Tour's St. Louis Women's Invitational from 1965 to 1969, the PGA Tour's Greater St. Louis Golf Classic in 1972 and 1973, and the U.S. Senior Amateur in 2001. The Legends Resort & Country Club, often called simply Legends, is a hotel located on County Route 517 in Vernon Township in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States.  In the 1970s, Hugh Hefner built it as The Great Gorge Playboy Club Hotel, officially opened in 1972.  The Playboy Club was closed circa 1982 and sold and turned into The Americana Hotel.  Later being sold again, was turned into The Seasons Hotel.  Seasons was later sold again to parent-company Metairie Corp (owned by Hillel A. "Hillie" Meyers), which turned into its current incarnation as the Legends Resort & Country Club.  The Hotel has been derelict and permanently closed to public operations for many years.  In February 2017 Vernon Township started to evict many of the low income full-time residents of the hotel.  It was revealed Andrew Mulvihill was the owner of many of the rooms rented out illegally to low income residents.  Mulvihill has a controlling interest in the derelict Great Gorge Village in Vernon Township and the nearby Crystal Springs Resort in Hardyston.  Some of the evicted residents are thought to have been relocated to these developments. The Kansas City Country Club, founded in 1896, is a country club in Mission Hills, Kansas, USA, an affluent suburb of Kansas City, Missouri.

The St. Petersburg Open Invitational, first played as the St. Petersburg Open, was a PGA Tour event that was held at three St. Petersburg, Florida area clubs for 29 years from 1930 until 1964.

Trump National Golf Club Westchester is a private golf club in Briarcliff Manor, New York.  Owned by Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, the 140 acre course has eighteen holes, with a 75000 sqft clubhouse.  Founded in 1922 as "Briarcliff Country Club", it later operated as "Briar Hills Country Club" and "Briar Hall Golf and Country Club" before Trump's purchase of the property in 1996.  Trump renamed the club to match his other golf properties, and after its county, Westchester.  He had the clubhouse and course rebuilt for its 2002 reopening; the course was designed by Jim Fazio.  Donald Trump served as president over Trump National Golf Club LLC (managing the Westchester club) from August 2000 until January 19, 2017, the day before his inauguration.

Walton Street in downtown Chicago, Illinois, United States, on February 29, 1960.  Each club generally featured a Living Room, a Playmate Bar, a Dining Room, and a Club Room.  Members and their guests were served food and drinks by Playboy Bunnies, some of whom were featured in "Playboy" magazine.  The clubs offered name entertainers and comedians in the Club Rooms, and local musicians and the occasional close-up magician in the Living Rooms.

On October 6, 2006 a new club was opened in Las Vegas, and in 2010 new clubs were opened as well in Macao and Cancun.  In time the Las Vegas club closed on June 4, 2012, the Macao club closed in 2013 and the Cancun club closed in 2014.  In May 2014 the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles opened a Playboy themed lounge consisting of gaming tables and Playboy Bunny cocktail waitresses. Country Club Bakery, located in Fairmont, West Virginia, USA, is a small family owned bakery that is significant because it is the home of the pepperoni roll.  The bakery is located on Country Club Road, but the original bakery (where the pepperoni roll was invented) was located on Robinson Street.  The pepperoni roll is a snack popular in West Virginia and some nearby regions of the Appalachian Mountains.  Ubiquitous in West Virginia (particularly in convenience stores), but typically little known elsewhere, it is arguably the food most closely associated with the state (a competitor for this distinction is the ramp).  The first pepperoni rolls were created at the Country Club Bakery in Fairmont, West Virginia by Giuseppe "Joseph" Argiro at the Country Club Bakery in Fairmont in 1927, some argue that it was not invented until the 1940s, but no one disputes that they originated at the Country Club Bakery.  Fairmont, West Virginia, claims the title of "Pepperoni Roll Capital of the World."
