Galveston Country Club
Storm Recovery Plan


Like so many on Galveston Island, our Galveston Country Club suffered severe damage from Hurricane Ike. Our management and staff are working hard clearing debris and preventing further damage to our Club.

The irrigation pumps and controllers were destroyed by high water as well as most of our golf course maintenance equipment. Our irrigation lakes were compromised and have been drained. Though we do have water wells, there are very strict limits on the amount of water from this source. Currently, a portable water tank is being used for hand watering the greens. The Clubhouse had about 6 inches of water in most areas, with additional water damage from windblown rain and roof damage. The maintenance building sustained significant damage to the offices, shop area and equipment parts inventory.

Your Board of Directors has been assessing these damages and developing a recovery plan for our Club. The consensus of the Board is that recovery of the golf course is the top priority. Orders have been authorized for the replacement of all essential equipment damaged by the storm and should be arriving over the next few weeks. Our target is to have the golf course in playable condition by the first of November.

Holiday Builders was awarded a contract in August for the remodeling/repair of the pro shop and cart barn. Materials for this work arrived this week and Holiday is proceeding with this work as planned. This should be completed by the first of December. The recovery cost for the golf course will prevent the planned renovation of the Clubhouse in the near term. Insurance adjusters have been to the Club, but we do not yet know what insurance proceeds will be forthcoming. Holiday has been asked to work with the adjusters to develop a scope of work for repair/improvements for the Clubhouse. Beyond making repairs caused by Hurricane Ike, as well as much needed repairs to the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems; the vision is to add fresh new colors and furnishings throughout the Clubhouse.

The Board of Directors and the Club’s staff understand the importance of bringing Galveston Country Club back to prominence expected by our members, while maintaining fiscal responsibility. You will be kept informed as details and schedules are developed for the recovery plan. If there are questions or concerns regarding this information, please contact our General Manager Knute Lund or any of the Board members. Your support and patience in this recovery are very much appreciated.
