I’m a local landscaper with an appreciation of fine golf courses. I love your website, it’s so easy to find information. I also love your golf courses. I’m looking forward to more blog posts.

When does the Preserve open up? What time frame can we play the Sheep Ranch?

What an honor to be able to post the first comment about one of the greatest places I love to go to. I dream about the Bandon courses constantly and am very excited to get to return for my 3rd trip there in Sept. Get ready Sasha…I’m excited to see ya!

we definitely got to go back. yeah, i’m talking to you massey.

Great idea, I’ll be following closely. Just got back from Bandon and I miss you guys, so this will have to do for now!

The Bandon Preserve is growing in nicely and will open next June. Bandon Dunes Resort Superintendent Ken Nice will be writing a blog entry in the next few months with a course tour of The Preserve.

Now that United has started regional jet service to North Bend. Have you talked with United about flying a regional jet from Denver? Service from Denver would help avoid weather delays at San Fran and help those of us coming from the east coast. I flew through Portland this month, but still had to wait on a late plane from San Fran.

So I will be heading to Bandon in 3 weeks. What should I be sure to take?

We hope you’re looking forward to your trip to Bandon Dunes. Be sure to bring your camera as you’ll want to capture the memorable golf experience.

We arrive on Thursday for our 11th year in a row. Can’t wait.
I love the on course camera, could one go up on the new Pacific clubhouse-restaurant? Would show a few holes.
A wind gauge would be interesting on the site also…might scare some people though.

Glad you’re arriving this week. The weather is set to be amazing through the weekend.

Love the enhancements to the website. Jeff, I’ve been once before and would suggest comfy shoes and your imagination – fun to get creative out there with some of the shots.

I’ll be coming from Boston at the end of August. Bringing a friend who’s never been to Oregon. Can’t wait to show him my home state and the finest piece of golf property I’ve certainly ever seen.

We are headed to Bandon August 23rd for nine rounds. Any suggestions for caddies?

All of our senior caddies are experienced and will only add to your experience. Call 888.345.6008 and ask for caddies services. They’ll connect you with your caddy for your visit.

Are these posts coming from the future? Today is Aug 5th and the posted date on many of the comments are Aug 08, 2011. Bandon is always ahead of the curve.

I am coming back next month for my third time and bringing my 15 year old for his first time. Are there any junior only type opportunities or specific caddies. He is a 5 handicap so I know he will love it like I have.

My best girl Janis is bringing me out tomorrow for my birthday this weekend. Been looking forward to it for a long time..I’m sure it will be great. Can’t wait!

Been getting anxious about my return trip to Bandon Dunes later this month (last visited in 2006). I have been viewing your real time cameras daily. Do you ever put the pin on the right side of the 18th green on Bandon Dunes?

Yes, we can put the pin on the right side of the green. We hope you enjoy your visit at the end of this month. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to make your visit a little more enjoyable.

Ant body wearing shorts around there this week. We are arriving in a few days, got plenty of jackets but wondering about shorts versus slacks.

Yes, many guests are wearing shorts.

Just there for first time last week. What a great place. Seth is a GREAT caddie for those wanting a recommendation! If you are playing a lot, I recommend comfortable shoes, good socks, moleskin (available at the gift shop), chapstick, sunscreen, Buedreaux’s and long pants. The golf is amazing and you will want to play all you can so come prepared! Great place!

What happened to the course cam??

Whoop’s my mistake, course cam is back on. Always fun to check out the weather from my office computer to see what I’m missing!!

Looking for any infor on becoming a Bandon Dunes Caddie..Thanks

You can call the main number (888) 345-6008 and ask to be tranferred to caddy services. They can help.

Greetings,

I understand that a DVD showcasing Old MacDonald is in the works. Any idea when it will be available for purchase?

Thanks,
Paul

The Old Macdonald DVD’s will be available on our website early next week. Please check back and we hope you enjoy the video.

8 of us will be making our first trip there in a few weeks and can’t wait. Most of us enjoy cigars and intended to bring several. Can we smoke our own in the The Bunker Bar, or can you only smoke those purchased onsite?

Thanks in Advance…

You’re welcome to bring your own cigars into the Bunker Bar. If it’s a nice night, I may also suggest the fire pit outside of McKee’s Pub as a great location for a cigar and cocktail.

One month since I played all the courses and am still on a high. It was the best golf experience of my life. I don’t think Bandon Trails gets enough credit, even though I thought Bandon Dunes the best course, but hard to separate any of them by much. Won’t be my last visit.

A group of us are coming in mid-November. What’s the average weather then and can we bring our own golf carts?

Have been to Bandon Dunes twice and by far is mt favorite place to play golf, and I have played many great courses. I just found the web cam on the website and am now there everyday. Thanks for hooking me up, and will be there in person soon enough.

The weather should be great for your trip, but bring your rain gear…just in case.

You can bring your own pull cart, but Bandon Dunes is a “walking-only” facility, so motorized carts aren’t allowed.

Greetings Fine Bandon Dunes People!
Any update on the Old MacDonald DVD? I thought it might be available in September, but don’t see it on your site.

Thanks,
Paul

What is a looper?

First trip next week…have been hoping to do this for years. Now, all four courses and additional rounds with my son…how good is that? “Have fun fast”…my motto.

The Canadians are back there in only a few days for our 9th year of our Bandon Tour. Stock up the wine.

A “looper” is slang for caddie, or as I like to callem my bagman.

Yes, the courses at Bandon are the stuff of dreams. I played there a number of years ago with my brother and his wife, Oregon residents, and the golf here on the east coast has never quite measured up. My wife and I are returning in March to celebrate my retirement, by playing all five courses with our Oregon family. (up from 2 the first time around) Can’t wait!

The Canadians from RCC are coming yet AGAIN! It’s like coming home to old friends. This time in early April rather than traditional March. But if it snows, we’re playing anyway!

If God plays Golf; He plays at Bandon Dunes.
