The Club, which is developing the Hobe Sound, Fla., golf course that is partially owned by basketball legend Michael Jordan, will be ordered to pay $5,512.50 in civil penalties and $2,500 for the cost of investigating how runoff from the construction site sent a plume of dirty water into the river in early February.

The Grove XXIII course in Hobe Sound, Fla., a new private club project for which basketball star Michael Jordan is the majority partner, will be designed by Bobby Weed Golf Design. In Swainton, N.J., the course at Sand Barrens Golf Club that was acquired by The Union League of Philadelphia and is being rebranded as the Union League National Golf Club will be renovated by Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design.

The Baltimore Sun highlighted how the Owings Mills, Md. property, as it prepares to host the Constellation Senior Players Championship and celebrate its 25th anniversary next year, has been able to maintain its prominence while remaining a golf-oriented operation amid major changes in the Baltimore corporate scene.

The plan for the 226-acre golf course property in Hobe Sound, Fla., failed to meet some county developer requirements, including addressing how exotic vegetation would be removed, locations of parking spots for disabled people, and missing labels for wells and irrigation structures. The developer could still submit a revised application addressing the problems.

The planned 226-acre golf course in Hobe Sound, Fla., is still in the works after the first proposal failed to meet all county regulations. The proposal is for an exclusive 18-hole course on former citrus land, and Jordan would be the principal owner with 25 investors putting up to $1 million toward the project.

The basketball legend is one step closer to building his first golf course after presenting the basic plans at a Martin County, Fla., workshop. In addition to Jordan, 25 other investors will contribute $1 million each, and unnamed sources said the golf course would have a similar feel to Medalist Golf Club, also in Hobe Sound.

The NBA legend is reportedly considering building his own club in Hobe Sound, Fla. Sources said the plan is a result of Jordan’s frustration with slow pace of play at his current club.

Other cities in Oregon have exempted golfers from similar laws, but the ban in the state’s largest city would apply to all four of its municipal courses. Tobacco products would also be banned from being sold at the facilities, but groups renting courses for tournaments could apply for smoking permits. Portland would join a growing group of cities, including New York, San Francisco, Houston and New Orleans, that now also include golf in their smoking bans.

The basketball star said President Obama’s golf game is in the toilet; the South Carolina Senator and possible Presidential candidate is under fire for a remark about “white men in male-only clubs”; and the Olympic decathlete is reportedly being harassed while trying to play golf at his club.

Most of Jordan’s highlight reels are from his basketball days—but now he has golf footage to add to the mix. During the 13th annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational, the basketball legend buried a 50-foot chip shot for a birdie on the 17th hole of the Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas.
