In its May issue, Club + Resort Business released its annual rankings of the top aquatics and pools programs. The aquatics and pools program at The Clubs of Kingwood in Kingwood, Texas, earned the No. 1 ranking in C+RB’s recognition program. In this episode of Club + Resort Talks, C+RB Senior Editor Phil Keren spoke with Patrick Pettit, the club’s General Manager, and Katie Stowers, Director of the club’s Fitness and Sports Center, to learn more about The Clubs of Kingwood.
Pettit and Stowers talked about the club receiving the honor, the club’s history, as well as what they offer that differentiates them from other clubs. They also discussed a change they made with their lifeguard staff that led to a lot of positive feedback from their membership.
In addition to an informative discussion with Pettit and Stowers, Phil also spoke with Club + Resort Business Editor Rob Thomas about some of the latest news stories happening in the industry.
They discussed the Wellman Golf Club’s plans to reopen its course in Johnsonville, S.C. after it was closed for 13 years, as well as Cat Island Club’s reopening of its course that was shut down in 2019. Phil shared some of the insights he received from head golf pros offering advice to beginning golfers who want to learn the game. Rob discussed the column from Nashawtuc Country Club Racquets Director George Laffey, who writes about the large amount of growth that is expected in the racquets industry during the next few years.
