Padre and I played 18 holes at Bandon Dunes today - one of four courses at the Bandon Dunes Resort in Bandon, Oregon. It was incredible!
We both had caddies and they helped us along the way with navigating this links style course. Bandon Dunes is consistently ranked among the top 10 courses in America to play and it lived up to the hype.
It was challenging, but fair. Somehow we avoided a lot of the trouble. We both played well, but the wide fairways helped. Padre and I played one ball from start to finish and scored below our handicap! And we played the ball down everywhere and found some AWFUL lies, but that is how the game is meant to be played.
Bandon Dunes is a traditional links style course rivaling the Old Course in St. Andrews - the birthplace of golf. Tomorrow we play Pacific Dunes (weather permitting) and it is the best of the four courses here. Golfweek magazine rates it the #1 course to play in America!
We can't wait...
