| Olde Florida Golf Club (blue circle) on the evening of Sunday, September 10 |
The clubhouse was boarded up and only received minor wind damage (outdoor light fixtures, ceiling fans, gutters, screens etc.).

Unfortunately, the golf course operations facility, which is a 24-year old metal building sustained much more significant damage, but it is secured and functional.
During the storm the golf course was battered by strong winds and rain causing countless trees to be uprooted or snap in half. Branches and other debris are also scattered throughout the golf course.

Also, on my YouTube channel are links to additional videos, including drone footage taken on Saturday, September 9, the day before Hurricane Irma made landfall.
My staff and I have been very busy with the recovery efforts for several days. Unfortunately. it will take time to remove trees, clean debris and of course time to allow the lake levels to drop. As of today, Thursday September 14, there are still areas of the golf course that my staff and I can not access. To make matters more stressful, most of my staff are still without electricity at their homes, but they are working diligently to get Olde Florida opened as soon as possible.
I appreciate your patience!
