The proposed golf course in Port Orford, Ore., took another step toward development when Curry County commissioners tentatively approved a clubhouse design. Pending final approval, a wetlands study, and final routing for the course, preliminary work on the project could begin next summer.

The Curry County Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit to build the golf course on the privately owned Knapp Ranch near Port Orford, Ore. The 354-acre site is located 30 miles south of Bandon Dunes, and construction could start this summer with preview play as early as fall 2015.
