Golf Course Superintendent
POSITION: Golf Course Superintendent at Shadow Hawk G.C & Black Hawk C.C.
Shadow Hawk Golf Club was established in 1999 as an exclusive 18-hole Championship golf club by architect Rees Jones. The course was formed in a Pecan tree orchard and has transformed into one of the best layouts in the Greater Houston Area. The greens were recently converted in 2015 to Miniverde. The tee boxes, fairways and rough remain Tifway 419.
Black Hawk Country Club was designed by internationally acclaimed golf course designer and re-designer, Rees Jones. With more than 7,100 yards of pristine play and five sets of tees, the golf course challenges golfers of all levels. The golf course engages approximately 50 acres of lakes and waterways along with 43 bunkers. Fairways of 419 Tif-way Bermuda and Tif-eagle greens are meticulously maintained for championship golf course conditions year round.
Black Hawk Country Club proudly hosted the 2006 Nationwide Tour Championship and LPGA Tour Championship presented by Rolex in November 2009. Along with Shadow Hawk Golf Club, Black Hawk Country Club co-hosted the 2011 U.S. Mid Amateur Championship that took place September 15-22, 2011.
