The City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to issue $21 million in bonds to pay for the city’s first public golf course, although some council members expressed concern about the cost.
The 200-acre Black Gold golf course, to be built within Shell Oil Corp.’s massive residential development at the base of the Chino Foothills, will be built and owned by the city. The project, when first approved by the council in 1996, was expected to cost about $12 million. That figure has risen to $18.3 million, with the remainder of the bonds paying for financial consultants and underwriters.
