Lots of improvements in court surface technology have been made since the bulk of those posts in this 2008 thread. If River Oaks has stayed on top of things and/or RedClayUSA has been diligent in their sales efforts they should now be playing on their RedClay Pro surface.According to this post, it's a mix of American red clay and European clay:
european red clay in the US?
I've played at the Bolletari academy (Bradenton, FL), the Club at Raes Creek (Augusta, GA) and the ATP center (Jacksonville, FL) on their red clay and enjoyed it very much. Whereas all of them may appear as a red european clay court, they are really all red Har-Tru like consistency. Is there...tt.tennis-warehouse.com
Pretty sure Houston's court is this stuff:Lots of improvements in court surface technology have been made since the bulk of those posts in this 2008 thread.

The company name indicates they’re from America but it’s a German/American consortium designed to attempt to make inroads in the U.S. clay market. It seems to be working as they have a decent roster of clubs switching, located in many states from NJ to TX. Their smart marketing campaign touts the lower maintenance costs with their system in addition to improvements in playing consistency and down time after adverse weather. To prove their “bones” they are proud to have provided the court surfacing at the WTA Stuttgart tournament since 2010. Another happy client is the USTA National campus here in Orlando, who hired them a few years ago to install the red clay section of their massive complex.

Is it the USTA tennis center courts?The Orlando clay plays just like the red clay I've been on in Germany. Not like Har-Tru at all.
Did I say they were Har Tru? No, I said a German company that first installed the WTA Stuttgart courts in 2010 has now expanded and are installing courts here in the USA. They claim on their website they were contracted by USTA to do the courts here in Orlando. Here’s a quote at their website: “I love your product.”- Tim Cass, GM USTA National Campus, Orlando FL.The Orlando clay plays just like the red clay I've been on in Germany. Not like Har-Tru at all.
