I live in Harlingen, TX and we just got through with Hurricane Dolly last week. Attached are some photos I took of the golf course at my club on Saturday after the Wednesday hurricane passage. A significant amount of flooding on the golf course as well as significant tree damage. Apparently there is just shy of 300 trees that either came down or suffered major damage. All sand traps will have to be reworked and refilled with sand. Driving range is now open. Plans are to open back nine sometime next week and front nine sometime within the next two weeks after that. No damage to any green, and only minimal damage to a few tee areas. Clubhouse had major roof damage as well as wind driven rain damage. One lucky item is that our GM had come to us from the Lake Charles area after Hurricane Rita, and had made what turns out to be some very handy adjustments to our insurance policies, including a rider for debris removal from the golf course. I haven't walked the whole course yet, just took pictures where I could this past Saturday.
#1. Lots of trees and big limbs down either side of fairway, as well as fairway flooding.
Closer view of right side of #1 fairway
Tee area of #1
Between #1 and #5. Not normally a lake.
From behind #9 green. Lots of trees down also.
#11. Lots of tree damage and fairway flooding. Numerous houses in this area had flooding.
Closer view of left of #11
Swale between #15 & #16. This is usually all grassed and in play. At this point (three days after the storm), the ditch is about 10 feet deep and 40 - 50 ft. across, and running as fast as could be. Had run like this for three days and stayed this way for another two days.
#18. Significant tree damage and water on fairway.
Street flooding at my house. At this point we were about 3 hours into the 4 hour eyewall passage.
