The Houstonian Club announced it is once again enhancing its offerings with the introduction of The Houstonian Club Pickleball Complex. This project began construction in September 2023 and underscores the club’s commitment to providing its members with world-class amenities and recreational opportunities.
Pickleball, a racquet sport with origins dating back to the 1960s, has recently gained popularity across the nation. The sport has experienced an impressive 159% surge in participation over the past three years, boasting a staggering 8.9 million players in 2022, as reported by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association.
The Houstonian Club has observed the pickleball phenomenon and is excited to cater to the growing interest among its members. “We’re excited to bring our members and hotel guests yet another reason to enjoy The Houstonian Club,” said Cher Harris, the president of the Club Division at The Houstonian Hotel, Club and Spa. “Pickleball is great for community engagement and we foresee these courts being utilized year-round because of Houston’s temperate climate.”
The Houstonian Club Pickleball Complex, a $6.2-million-dollar expansion endeavor, will enhance its recreational sports experiences. The complex will feature an array of exceptional facilities, including:
- Eight standalone pickleball courts, thoughtfully designed to accommodate player’s preferences and weather conditions. Four courts are covered to enable uninterrupted play even in inclement weather.
- A retail outlet, offering an assortment of premium pickleball equipment and attire, grab-and-go food, and a curated beverage selection.
- Amphitheater-style seating with a capacity for up to 300 spectators.
- Dedicated restroom facilities.
This ambitious project, financed by The Houstonian Club’s ownership, is anticipated to reach its completion in spring 2024.
