Puerto Rico’s Wyndham Grand Rio Mar has named a new director of golf and tennis, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The property has tapped Seth Henrich to oversee its extensive program, which includes two 18-hole championship courses designed by Tom and George Fazio and Greg Norman, respectively. 

Both courses are managed by Troon Golf. 

“We are thrilled to welcome back Seth Henrich to Puerto Rico and have him join our family here at Wyndham Grand Rio Mar,” said General Manager Nils Stolzlechner. “In the midst of our reopening phases, Seth will be instrumental in creating the best golf and tennis experience for our members and guests at our award-winning courses.”

Henrich will officially oversee the Rio Mar Country Club, which includes the club’s membership, tennis center, management of golf courses and Pro Shops. 

He comes to the property after having served most recently as director of golf at the World Golf Hall of Fame’s golf courses in St Augustine.
