The staff is absolutely unprofessional, and they cannot get anything done. They don't talk to each other. Todd Whitley, the Director there is a joke. He says he will do certain things three times, and never get it done. My daughter played in a USTA event hosted by this club. She won the tournament, but they didn't have enough trophies. Todd said he would ship the trophy, so I left my mailing address to his email and on a sticky note on his desk. Two weeks later I called to follow up only to hear him say that they just got the trophy ready. He says "I have the trophy right here, and I have your address here as well. I will ship it right away. You will have it in a few days." One week later, the trophy has not arrived. I emailed Todd, and no response. I intend to write to USTA to have them look into this poor handling. They shouldn't be hosting any USTA or UTR events with this level of organization as they have no idea what they are doing. At all cost, I would stay away from this tennis club.

Made the long trek from Clear Lake to watch a few friends participate in their first triathlon, the…read moreFairfield Triathlon. Wait, no, excuse me, it's the Cy-Fair Emergency & Imaging Center Triathlon at Fairfield. Whew. That's a mouthful. But hey, a tri is a LOT of work and should have a long, impressive sounding name. Or at least it looks like a lot of work, as I just run. We got there early and the bike transition was out in front and the swimming pool is back behind the facility. Luckily everything was well marked, plus we just followed the people with the swim caps. The sidewalk was flagged off, but it wasn't marked real well, as we had a few swimmers ask us which way to go. Plus quite a few people slipped and fell until the officials put down some rubber mats. There were a LOT of rules to go over at the beginning, and all was easy to hear and understand. The Boy Scouts posted the colors and we all did the Pledge of Allegiance, which was cool. Then of course the National Anthem and woo hoo we're ready to go! Unless your friend/loved one is a fast swimmer, prepare to wait, as they line up per their swim time, but it's still cool to watch everyone. The bike transition was easy to get to, and we waited to see our friends come in, and the running course went right by the finish line, then turned and came back, so there was ample opportunities to cheer your athlete on. I loved that! Plus there is plenty of parking for everyone across the street, so it's right there and easy to get back to the car for water, snacks, etc. Oh and there are indoor bathrooms, plus some porta potties. But indoor bathrooms? be still my heart! The facility looked really nice as well with the outdoor heated pool, tennis courts, plus a nice basketball court and room inside. And a very, very cool place to put on a triathlon! It's easy to get bitten by the tri bug here....

I am writing to formally raise concerns regarding the behavior and conduct of certain coaches…read morewithin the teams, The Fire hawks and the Volts, youth sports program. It is extremely troubling to witness behavior that does not align with the standards expected in a program designed for young children. Specifically, I have observed and/or been made aware of the following issues: Inappropriate language: Coaches using profanity during practices and games in the presence of young players. Bullying behavior: Instances where coaches have spoken harshly, belittled, or intimidated children rather than encouraging and supporting them. Alcohol use: Concerns that coaches have consumed alcohol before or during events, which is highly inappropriate and unsafe in a youth sports environment. These actions not only violate basic expectations of professionalism but also create an unhealthy and potentially harmful environment for the children. Youth sports programs should promote teamwork, respect, confidence, and positive development--not fear or discomfort. I respectfully request that this matter be taken seriously and investigated promptly. It would be helpful to review and enforce the organization's code of conduct for coaches, and to take appropriate corrective action to ensure a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all participants. I appreciate your time and attention to this matter and would welcome any updates on how this situation will be addressed.

I've lived in the Hearthstone neighborhood for three and a half years, and have been a member of…read morethe club since I moved in. The club is part of the Invited network (formerly known as ClubCorp). It's my opinion that the club, while not in bad shape when I first joined, has improved over the last few years. The golf course has been one of the better ones I've played on, and it's great having three 9-hole courses to pick from. The pro shop generally has a good selection of equipment and clothing, and members get 20% off on clothes. Sports like pickleball and tennis are available. Also, groups that play games like mahjong and poker meet here to play. The main restaurant, the Red Wolf Bar & Grille, has many choices with a seasonal menu and monthly drink specials. The waitstaff are friendly and attentive, and if you buy the X-Life add-on to your membership, it's well worth it if you eat at the restaurant at least a few times per month. Special weekly events, like Tasting Tuesdays and Pasta Night on Thursdays, add variety by offering items not on the regular menu. The outdoor restaurant, the Tourn, often has live music and other events. If you live in the area, especially within in Hearthstone or surrounding neighborhoods, Hearthstone Country Club is a great place for activities with family and friends.

This is a very strange course, a lot of short par 4 and 5's but pretty long par 3's in comparison. The layout is very interesting and should take a while for someone to get used to it, but the greens demands good read and speed control. Over all this is a older style course that is straight forward, but not easy.

At…read morethe time he had just turned 7 so I was a little nervous to leave him by himself for an entire day, but by the end of the day he was going on and on about how much fun he had. The facilities were very nice and tidy. They have a little cafe where he was able to get a hot lunch if he wanted. The coaches were all passionate and personable with him and he learned so much. We are signing him up for their summer program and he is so excited for summer camp!

I had high expectations for Giammalva Racquet Club, but my experience was far from what I…read moreanticipated. It presents itself as an elite academy on paper, yet it fails to deliver the hospitality and facilities required for hosting high-level national tournaments. I attended a nationals tournament where players from across the country, ranked in the top three of their USTA sections, gathered to compete. Unfortunately, this was the worst nationals experience I've had, and I will not return, regardless of the event's level. Here are the key issues I encountered: - **Lack of Atmosphere**: Unlike other national tournaments, there were no decorations, banners, or photo opportunities. The facility felt outdated and uninviting. - **Staff Attitude**: While the food staff were friendly, the lounge was dirty, with torn and cracked seating. Staff members often engaged in loud personal conversations instead of maintaining a professional environment. - **Inadequate Amenities**: The facility offered no Wi-Fi for players and guests to use while waiting between matches. The courts were in poor condition, with numerous cracks needing repair, which is unacceptable for a national event. - **Insufficient Restrooms**: With only two toilets and one urinal for hundreds of players and their guests, the situation was dire. They refused to open locker rooms for additional restroom access, expecting players to pay a guest fee just to change or shower--what a money-driven approach. - **Poor Communication**: During rain delays, the club scheduled matches for 7 a.m. on Sunday, despite the rain causing delays until nearly 8:45. There was no text communication to inform players of the delays, which could have saved many a 45-minute drive. Overall, the Giammalva Racquet Club did not showcase its facility in the best light, nor did it make guests feel welcome. With the main courts under construction and many issues persisting, it's apparent that the management does not prioritize the guest experience. Many other players echoed my sentiments, expressing they would not return if the event were held here again. It's disheartening to see such a lack of care in a facility that hosts national events. USTA, please do better.

Memorial Northwest is a great community. We have been here for just a few years, and everyone we…read moreencounter is warm and welcoming. This is a neighborhood that has a feel of real community. Memorial Northwest also has well-rated schools including Theiss Elementary and Doerre Intermediate School. The quality of schools translates well to the character of the kids / youth of the community. It also has great amenities like the community center, which houses a great swimming pool and park. Also, great quality stores in the neighborhood to do all of your shopping. All in all, I would highly recommend Memorial Northwest to anyone considering moving to the Houston area.
