Royal Oaks Country Club
Royal Oaks Country Club is a country club and subdivision in Houston, Texas, United States in the Alief community. The country club is located at 2910 Royal Oaks Club Drive, 8 miles (13 km) west of The Galleria. Sunrise Colony Company developed Royal Oaks out of the former Andrau Airpark property.
The country club portion was the first country club built in the Houston City limits in fifty years.
Andrau Airpark closed in 1998. Sunrise Colony Co. developed Royal Oaks Country Club. The company selected the site to develop a community because of the location in proximity to several business districts (it is immediately west of the Westchase business district), The Galleria, entertainment centers, George Bush Intercontinental Airport, and William P. Hobby Airport (via the Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) which runs about a mile east). Builders that agreed to develop houses in the complex include Abercrombie Custom Homes, Charles R. Martin and Associates, Jonathon Custom Estate Homes, King Residential Group, Masterpiece Homes, and McVaugh Custom Homes. As of September 8, 2000 the community developers sold 204 houses, including 34 of the 43 estate houses.
Royal Oaks Country Club is in close proximity to Richmond Avenue and Wilcrest Avenue.
The community developers planned to establish 900 single family and estate houses; of the houses 43 were to be estate houses. As of 2000 the prices were to be set between $300,000 and over $3 million. The community offered 26 house designs. The elevations range up to 15 feet (0.0046 km). The Royal Oaks community occupies 140 acres (57 ha) of land. The country club portion occupies 10,400 square feet (970 m2) of land. The golf course takes 160-acre (65 ha) of land.
Access to and from the community is controlled by a video-monitored gatehouse, which is manned 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. A masonry wall surrounds the community.
