Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California

When applying to a country club for social membership, will the board of directors take in to consideration a past bankruptcy (Chapter 7) that is over 10 years old, and blackball that person? And how does the board get the legal information regarding bankruptcies on potential members? Isn't this considered personal info?
