Huntington Beach : Council to Get Plans for Park Golf Course
Plans for a nine- or 18-hole golf course in Huntington Beach’s Central Park will be presented to the City Council next month, according to Melvin W. Bowman, director of the Community Services Department.
“The council has instructed us to make a brief report on the location and size of such a golf course,” Bowman said, “and we’ll get the information to them early in March.”
Jim Engle, the city’s superintendent of park development, said his staff has outlined possible locations for the course within the 300-acre park at Golden West Street and Talbert Avenue.
“No drawings have been made and no cost estimates are available,” Engle said. “It’s all in a very preliminary feasibility study stage.”
He said the course probably would be of the executive type, that is, a combination of par three and par four holes, and could be either nine or 18 holes.
If the idea is approved, golf course experts would have to be hired to lay out the course and figure the construction costs, he added.
