Flood Risk America’s Golf Course Protection Plan is uniquely designed to help our clients protect their golf courses from flooding using our customized flood products and to also acquire flood insurance not only on the clubhouse, but on the bunkers and fairways as well. To identify a course’s flood risk, Flood Risk America would first conduct a flood study. The study includes statistical data from river flow, storm tides, hydrologic/hydraulic analysis, and rainfall. The Flood Study will incorporate spring, run-off, and large precipitation events which will identify exact locations of flooding, sources, and vulnerable areas of the golf course. The Study will also give recommendations to the size, height, and type of flood protection needed.
