River Oaks Country Club’s Battle with Nature:

In 2015, a cutting-edge solution was installed at River Oaks – the PondHawk system. This innovative technology aimed to maintain the beauty and functionality of the golf course’s water features while also ensuring environmental sustainability. Little did anyone know just how important this system would become.

In the spring of 2016, Houston experienced a major flood. With the Buffalo Bayou coursing through the golf course, the club was highly susceptible to flooding. The torrential rain, approximately 12 inches in a short span, took its toll. The country club was left in shambles, struggling to recover.
