#BANDON DUNES BEST TIME TO GO DRIVER#

Bail out to the left and deal with a possibly blind second into the green.

The tee shot is a real thinker with the ocean and tons of bunkers on the right, but an easy second if the tee ball is placed correctly. This par 4 has to be one of the best holes in the world both visually and strategically. The closing stretch of this course is spectacular as the routing works its way inland back out to the coastal cliffs with a crescendo at the spectacular 16th.

Fairways on most of the driver holes have fairways that are plenty wide, but you will have to work your way around some very penal and well placed bunkers. The long 12th is particularly difficult when playing into the wind like we played it. The par 3s are all great with varying lengths and are all facing different directions so you will deal with a different wind direction on each. This course has so many great holes with different looks off the tee. Holes 5 and 12 also get nice and close to the coast. Unlike Pacific Dunes which has its coastal holes elevated up on the cliffs, Bandon Dunes has several holes much closer to the water. It doesn’t take long to play right down to the ocean at Bandon Dunes as the 4th green sits right near the beach. A round at Bandon Dunes is really a special experience, working around and through coastal dunes, the scenery is spectacular everywhere you look. Among the 5 routings at the resort, its namesake is my favorite. From start to finish Bandon Dunes offers one of the best golf experiences anyone could ask for.
