In this episode of Club + Resort Talks, Club + Resort Business Senior Phil Keren speaks with the leaders at BallenIsles Country Club in Palm Beach, Fla., about the club garnering the No. 1 ranking in the 2023 Club + Resort Business Top Ranked Clubhouses program.

Ryan Walls, CEO and General Manager at BallenIsles Country Club, Laura Young Cray, Clubhouse Director, and Becky Collison, Director of Marketing and Communications, discuss the $35 million renovation of the grand clubhouse in 2018. They also talk about what it means for the club employees and members to receive the Top Ranked distinction, as well as what makes their clubhouse unique.

The listing of Top Ranked Clubhouses for 2023 appears in the December issue of Club + Resort Business and can also be viewed online at clubandresortbusiness.com.

Phil and Club + Resort Business Editor Rob Thomas also discuss a member purchasing a club in Oklahoma, the progress occurring with a golf course in Utah that is being designed by Tiger Woods’ TGR Design firm, and a Connecticut club’s withdrawal of a plan to build pickleball courts due to concerns from neighbors about noise.
