New approaches to tennis that adjust both facilities and programming are ensuring that players stay in the game for life.
The Clubs at Houston Oaks to Open New Tennis Facility
The Hockley, Texas facility will hold a grand opening on November 12 for its new tennis clubhouse and six tennis courts with a plexipave surface and stadium LED lights for night-time matches. The resort has hired three-time Olympian Liezel Huber and her husband Tony Huber to run the tennis club, and they have already organized several tennis leagues, tournaments, camps and events.
Houston Oaks’ Revival Takes Root
The existence of the former Tennwood Golf Club was threatened after a devastating clubhouse fire in 2008, but new ownership has directed its transformation into a luxury family resort that now features a “grand amenity center” with a resort-style pool, farm-to-table restaurant, shooting range, petting zoo, fish camp, disc golf course and other features. A golf-course renovation, new tennis program and “party barn” are now in the works.
