The course is not listed on Harbottle's website.
And according to this story the environmentalist's battle against the course has been going on for four years.

Ocean Shores, on the north spit, has had a golf course of limited success. A few miles down the coast at Cape Shoalwater and Willapa Bay there is a long history of shore erosion. There is a long history of developments amongst the dunes being cut, inundated and ruined on the Oregon and Washington coasts. The Corps of Engineers will have a lot of muscle in the fight.
Reedit: Moving the housing development back 1000 feet is a good step. But based on the history of the Willapa Light it may not be enough. The original site has been in deep water for a long time and 1500+ acres purchased as a buffer zone is also gone.
