| Abstract/Contents: | Details a construction project to build a golf course on the site of El Toro U.S. [United States] Marine Corps Air Station in California. Briefly mentions the base's golf course, "built in 1944 as the exclusive playground of the military elite, the course was known for the proximity of several fairways to the base's north-south runway...When the El Toro Marine Base closed in 1999, the golf course was opened for play to the public as a bargain-priced facility featuring a quaint 1940s-era clubhouse...All that came to an end [December] 31, [2006] when the golf course closed following the purchase of the base property by Lennar Corporation, "a residential real estate developer." Explains that "Lennar is building a...layout on the site with a design that harkens back to the classic era of golf course design, along the lines of Los Angeles and Riviera country clubs." States that "to capture that 1920s design for the...course...Lennar hired Orange County archited Todd Eckenrode." Describes the site, stating that "with the Saddleback Mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean seven miles to the west, the El Toro site features more than 1,000 native trees, such as pepper, pines and eucalyptus." Also states that "the project's centerpiece will be a 12,000-square-foot clubhouse styled after the famed Irvine House, a Victorian-style ranch." Concludes that the developers "want all aspects of the golf course [to] be in the genre of the 1920s." |
