Is Your Facility Summer Ready?
Towels That Actually Hold Up
Not all pool towels are created equal. The ones that look great on day one and fall apart by July end up costing more in the long run. Two options worth stocking this season:
The Fibertone Cabana Stripe in Porcelain Blue is built for exactly this kind of abuse 86% cotton, ring spun loops, and a patented Fibertone process that keeps the color consistent batch after batch, wash after wash. If you’ve ever had towels fade to different shades over a season, you know how much that matters. They come 2 dozen to a case at 30×70 and 15 lbs.
Don’t overlook the little touches
Two products that consistently get noticed by members and guests in a good way are the Koala Kool Towels and the Pre-Moistened Eucalyptus Refreshment Towels. The Koala Kools are single use, 100% cotton, pre-moistened with eucalyptus oil. You freeze them and hand them out on the first tee or poolside. They’re biodegradable, they smell great, and members love them. The Refreshment Towels have the same vibe for locker rooms and dining: rolled, individually wrapped, and served hot or cold. It’s a small thing that feels like a big upgrade.
Sun Care They’ll Actually Use
Banana Boat Sport SPF 50 is about as trusted as it gets for outdoor, active use. Water resistant for 80 minutes, broad-spectrum, and available in cases of 12, so you can stock your pool deck, pro shop, and locker room without running short.
For facilities that want something a little more premium on the shelf, Oars & Alps SPF 50 Aerosol (Summer Splash scent) is a reef-safe, clean formula spray with antioxidant protection, no parabens, no oxybenzone. Members who care about what they put on their skin will notice. It tends to be the one they ask for by name after the first use.
Don’t forget after sun. Neutrogena After Sun Rescue Spray and the Oars & Alps After Sun Cooling Spray round out the station and give members a reason to come back to it throughout the day not just before they head out.
The One Category People Always Forget
Insect repellent. Every year, facilities scramble for it in June. Get ahead of it now.
Off! Deep Woods 9 oz. Aerosol is the go-to for wooded courses, outdoor events, and any facility near tree lines or water features. Up to 8 hours of DEET protection against mosquitoes, ticks, and biting flies. It’s the one your grounds crew will appreciate having around, too.
For pool decks, outdoor dining, and member facing stations, Off! Family Care Unscented with Aloe is a gentler choice no scent, aloe vera formula, easy pump dispenser. Safe for the whole family and won’t compete with your sunscreen or fragrance.
