Great Northwest
Bandon Dunes has put the state of Oregon on the golf destination map the past few years, and another resort is closer to becoming a reality. The Jackson County (Ore.) commissioners recently endorsed a proposed $80 million golf resort south of Ashland that has been on the drawing board since 1987. The Clear Springs Resort proposal issue has been in the courts and before local and state governments for much of that time over water rights. Clear Springs Resort is planned on 245 acres about a mile south of Ashland. Developer Dom Provost reportedly has cut the plans for an 18-hole course to nine.
