Two Area Golf Courses Head Toward Redevelopment

PORTLAND, OR-A couple of golf course owners in the region have decided there are higher and better uses for their land. The Colwood National Golf Course, located 10 miles northeast of Downtown, is being rezoned for an eventual industrial redevelopment. Thirteen miles southeast of Downtown, the Pleasant Valley Golf Course was recently sold to one of the area’s largest homebuilders.

The owner of the Pleasant Valley Golf Course in Happy Valley sold the 126-acre golf course and 54 undeveloped acres surrounding the course to West Hills Development, a subsidiary of Arbor Custom Homes. The seller is George Beall, who acquired the course from his father-in-law in 1970 and converted it from a public course to a private club. The new owner expects to master plan the property for a residential community.

The 153-acre Colwood National Golf Course is a public course that backs up to Portland International Airport. The owners, comprised mostly of members of the Saunders family, have filed an initial application to rezone the bulk of the course from open space to general industrial use, opening up the property to some 1.6 million sf of industrial development, city officials tell GlobeSt.com.
