Alameda Point Golf Links (Alameda, CA)
« on: July 24, 2006, 09:18:47 AM »
Alameda Point GL is a course planned for the site of the old Alameda Naval Air Station. It appears that Kyle Phillips is the GCA and the course will be a cross between Kingsbarns/Bayonne/Liberty National, with views across the Bay to the SF city skyline.

My web search turned up articles and a plan for the routing of the course, all of which are circa 2002-2003. Does anyone know the current status of the project? Is this course going to be built anytime soon?

Kyle -

I had seen that site and those pictures & drawings. Are you aware of the current status of the project? Do you have any idea if/when construction might start?

No, unfortunately I don't know where the project stands. The last bit of new I saw was from the Kyle Phillips Design website which said they were looking into the feasibility of using dredgings from the bay as topsoil. I also saw a few blurbs about opposition to the site plan because it has the public walking trails routed through the middle of the course in a few places so that some of the holes would be on the shore. Naturally, some people wanted the trails to stay on the weater around the entire end of the island...

I thought I read something recently that it was being held up due to a dispute with who was going to pay for the toxic waste disposal of the stuff left behing by the military on the site. Maybe somebody in the bay area has a link.

I occasionally speak with Kyle Phillips and what Tim says is generally the case.  Its complete bureaucracy with the Navy and will probably take years to figure out.   No one has the money to fix the problem.  

As for the site, it flat as a pancake and mostly asphalt since it was a runway.  Kyle will have to build everything from scratch.
