The prestigious Royal Oaks Country Club in Houston is a stunning venue. Built in the 2000s, the club is a popular modern facility for members to enjoy all year round. With a variety of activities including a stunning 72 hole golf course, swimming pools and racquet courts.
Creating spaces for members to enjoy, thrive and be proud of is key to success in the Country Club industry. Using your space in the best way you’ll be able to increase membership numbers, justify increases in membership fees and encourage members to spend longer with you. At Shadowspec, we’re experts in creating outdoor spaces at country clubs by providing shade solutions that stand up and stand out.
Outdoor Umbrella Shade Design
Shade is an essential for outdoor designs, and Country Clubs across America should consider the shade options available when embarking on a shade project. If you’re replacing old awnings, old umbrellas or other shade features that aren’t fit for purpose or don’t meet the standard your members expect, it’s time to reflect and start planning an outdoor upgrade program.
We worked with Royal Oaks Country Club to provide a suite of Shadowspec Cantilever Umbrellas for their pool and dining areas. A selection of Shadowspec Serenity™ umbrellas were installed along the children's pool area to create a safe space for children to shelter from the sun whilst enjoying the amenities. The Free-Standing Base with Castor Wheels, combined with the Serenity’s easy-to-use opening system, ensures that no matter where the sun is, the kids can enjoy the pool.
When designing an outdoor space with shade, Country Clubs and Golf Clubs must consider how usable it is for their members and staff. If we can create a space that is easy to maintain, easy to use and easy to enjoy, we can amplify the space we have to work with. Focusing on creating working environments for Club staff is important as they can spend more time providing excellent service to members.
Umbrella Color Design Options
The Royal Oaks Country Club posed a challenge in that their existing shade choices featured a very specific color choice, and they wanted to match that colour. The Shadowspec design team loves a challenge, and we dove into our design resource books and provided a suite of Sunbrella fabrics in “Toast”. This yellow cream umbrella color matches the exterior features of Royal Oaks and evokes a sense of warmth and comfort, offering an inviting feeling to the members.
When Country Club members have their needs met, to their standards, they will spend more time at the club and encourage their wider social circles to join them at the club. Improving the experience is the number 1 way to improve country clubs and their future success.
Improve Member Satisfaction with Shade
At Shadowspec, we’re passionate about outdoor design; it’s about creating spaces where people can enjoy coming together. We’re focused on supporting Clubs who want to create useful spaces, solve problems and deliver results for staff and members alike. By presenting a combined effort on all fronts, Royal Oaks Country Club is enjoying a successful time poolside, barside and greenside as their members frequent the facility.
