Completes clean up following Hurricane Ike
MAGNOLIA, TEXAS – High Meadow Ranch Golf Club re-opened for play at 12:00 noon on Wednesday, September 24th, thirteen days after being forced to close from the damages and effects of Hurricane Ike. High winds and heavy rains from the storm uprooted and toppled several hundred trees on the property and power and utilities were knocked out for the past 12 days. Power was restored late Tuesday evening, and the staff at High Meadow Golf Club worked feverishly to get the property cleaned up and open for play.
“The past couple weeks have been quite stressful for our staff as many employees have also been without power to their homes, as well” noted Cody Spivey, General Manager of High Meadow Ranch. “Our team worked dawn to dusk to help clean up the timber and debris on the golf course and surrounding roadways. The loss of power prevented us from irrigating the golf course and we were really starting to get concerned about possible turf damage, but the course looks like it weathered the storm as good as can be expected. We are excited to open the course and provide area residents with an opportunity to take a break from their clean up efforts and tee it up.”
