HMI helped a Georgia golf course PGA Tour stop save $5.3 million and avoid price gouging on tree removal.

For two decades, HMI has empowered property owners by providing a holistic solution to enhance, restore, and protect their outdoor property. In 2016, a high-profile golf course in Georgia suffered major damage from Hurricane Matthew and was under immense pressure to swiftly reopen. HMI helped the course avoid price gouging on tree removal and recover in time to successfully host a PGA Tour event.

Emergency Response to Hurricane Damage

A 90-hole golf course facility in Georgia suffered catastrophic damage from Hurricane Matthew. More than 1,500 downed trees littered the course just as the club was preparing to host a major PGA Tour event. Course managers were presented with an excessive $7 million proposal for emergency tree and debris removal. Time was of the essence as members were demanding quick resolution and the golf club’s reputation was on the line. Course repair and tree removal needed to happen immediately to resume club play, limit revenue loss, and prepare for the upcoming PGA event.
