HTX Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 It's been gone for several months and since then the land work has been pretty active but no signs of any type have gone up. Does anyone know what is coming? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Timmy Chan's Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 It's been gone for several months and since then the land work has been pretty active but no signs of any type have gone up. Does anyone know what is coming?My dad says it's going to be apartments. I didn't ask where that info came from.I haven't been out that way for a month now, but last time I drove by, it looked like they were grading some pretty attractive drainage features: curvilinear detention basins or drainage ditches.The old golf course backed up to Armand Bayou...I've paddled almost up to the golf course from Bay Area Park, but never quite made it that far. I hope they're preserving a nice buffer along the bayou. I'd hate to paddle up that scenic bayou just to end up looking at some apartments...but then again it ain't my land.

Timnwendy Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Whatever is going in there, I hope they build proper drainage, because IIRC that area floods bad during heavy rains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTX Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Just what I was hoping it would not be. The drainage features are coming along and I think some stakes are up here and there.That section of Genoa Red Bluff is a great shortcut into Seabrook, but putting much more traffic on it will negate that.Anybody know of any plans to widen it?

SHHHHH!!!!! That's been my secret route for the last 20 years... I believe Genoa-Red Bluff was supposed to be widened as part of the Bayport project, but I don't know the status. I would have thought it could be under construction by now...but I know that there were lots of jurisdictional wetlands issues (among other issues) that delayed Space Center Blvd south of Genoa-Red Bluff adjacent to Ellington AFB. I assume the same wetlands issues exist along Genoa-Red Bluff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll help some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 My high school senior picnic was at the Humble Country Club. I'm trying to find out where it was located, but can't find any information. Does anyone know about it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 It could have been El Dorado Country Club, which was on the site where Golf Club of Houston is now, next to Fall Creek subdivision. El Dorado opened in 1964. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggmsmolly Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 My dad was Marketing Director for Humble Oil, my grandfather, an Accountant and we had many activities at the old Humble Country Club. I can remember what it looked like but not the location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumber2 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 The Humble Oil Country Club you remeber was most probably the golf course located on Allen Genoa at Red Bluff. I think it's closed down now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's closed down now. That would be at the intersection of Genoa-Red Bluff and Red Bluff Rd. Before closing, it was Baywood Country Club. A few details here https://www.golfcourseranking.com/courses/texas/pasadena/usa/baywood-country-club,-closed-2008/13640/ and an obituary for a former course superintendent here http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/houstonchronicle/obituary.aspx?n=bill-dill&pid=105257764 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 As it was mentioned above, the El Dorado country club, or it may have been the Atascocita country club. I would have to make some phone calls to help remembering what I could be missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
