DALLAS – Invited Clubs, the world leader in private clubs, is pleased to share several key updates at properties across its portfolio in Texas that are aimed at enhancing the everyday member experience through reinvestments in fitness, recovery, racquet sports and member lifestyle.
With an emphasis on expanding and upgrading the fitness experience across its clubs, Invited Clubs has worked to incorporate the best training equipment, performance technology and recovery advancements into its offerings. From Technogym equipment that can offer personalized fitness regimens to recovery features like massage chairs, heat therapy and Normatec compression, the investments made at various properties position Invited Clubs as the leader in member experience.
“Our goal is to go beyond what the traditional country club experience is, whether it’s how you prepare for a round of golf to your personal fitness and wellness journey,” said Michele Meleski, SVP for National Fitness and Wellness with Invited Clubs. “The reinvestments we’re pouring into our clubs in Texas give our members more ways to train, recover, play, and connect, knowing that our member-first approach ensures we’re offering the premier club experience in the state.”
At The Hills Country Club in Austin, a reimagined fitness experience will enhance the way members train and recover. Featuring the latest Technogym equipment, dedicated recovery spaces and personalized wellness tools, the club’s Sports Complex will bring a smarter, more holistic approach to fitness for the entire family. The experience also will incorporate golf performance training, advanced recovery therapies and AI-driven assessments, as well as a Pilates Reformer Studio.
Connected Technogym fitness machines provide real-time feedback for members, while offering immersive workouts and the ability to track performance. Additionally, The Hills features WellCheck, an advanced assessment system that provides personalized insights into key metrics and gives members the relevant context necessary to make the right choices for their health.
In Houston, the Clubs of Kingwood also have focused on enhancing the fitness experience for its members, bringing in top-of-the-line Technogym equipment and creating a specialized golf performance area. The 22,000 square foot fitness center also has a dedicated strength training area, as well as a cardio fitness area and Pilates Reformer Studio. The new fitness center will be ready for members by August 2026.
The expanded fitness offerings are part of a comprehensive reinvestment project across the entire Invited Clubs portfolio as it seeks to continue to position itself as a member-first property with unrivaled amenities that appeal communities across Texas and beyond.
The Clubs of Stonebridge Ranch, located in McKinney, also are nearing the final stages of a renovation at The Hills course. Led by World Golf Hall of Famer Lanny Wadkins, the nine-hole course is a complete reimagination that will emphasize playability, while enhancing visuals and sightlines. For instance, a redesigned green complex at the second hole will allow for a wider array of approach shots, such as run-up shots, while new trees along the fairway will block views of a nearby roadway.
These enhancements come on the heels of the recent $22 million renovation on the golf course at TPC Craig Ranch, home to the PGA TOUR’s THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Wadkins led those redesign efforts as well, as the course underwent a comprehensive renovation project that sought to better utilize the natural terrain to create a fair, but stern test for both the world’s best golfers and everyday members.
