Established in the 1970’s, the Newport Beach Golf Course has been a local destination, offering a driving range, golf pro shop, restaurant, and 18-hole golf course across three distinct properties. With the lease up on the course there is an opportunity for change and surf and turf is on the menu. Enter Snug Harbor Surf Park, where the surf meets the turf. The public will still be able to get in a round of Golf, and ride the waves.
We are committed to transparency and will keep the community, golfers, and stakeholders informed as we work through the environmental review and public process with the City of Newport Beach. If you are looking for information on the Notice of Preparation (NOP), from the City of Newport Beach, it is listed here.
