Officials have stepped up efforts to choose a builder for a new golf course in Yorba Linda.

At a special meeting of the City Council this week, officials agreed to interview four golf course developers to design a new course on 205 acres of vacant land in the northern part of the city.

They expect to narrow the field to two potential developers and choose a winner within 10 months.

Officials estimated it would cost roughly $11 million to build an 18- or 27-hole course. They also expect to earn that money back quickly.

During its first year of operation, the city expects to make $1.4 million from the new attraction. By its fifth year, the city expects the course to make a profit of $2.5 million.

At this point, city officials expect to charge greens fees of $55 during the week and $75 on weekends.
