re: Bandon Dunes

I called and booked over the phone. Their service is top notch. Like others stated, you’ll walk every round. 36 holes can be gruesome for some. One of the guys in our group had bloody feet from walking 36 holes, and he’s in pretty good shape. If you have an extra day, just play 18 each day. I’d try to schedule your rounds mid morning. We played in the afternoon, and really didn’t have a chance to hang out at the bars much. Regardless of what you decide, play The Preserve (Par 3 course) first.

We flew into San Francisco the night before and had a short flight into North Bend, which allowed us to play The Preserve that afternoon. We flew out of Eugene and it was a 2.5 hour drive. We hired a shuttle to take us, and it wasn’t bad. Flying into North Bend isn’t necessary, and could be risky with the weather, as they are often delayed.
