The Fun Starts Here.....Bandon 4

[Ron Farris]

Congrats to Tom, Jim, and all who become involved with the 4th at Bandon.  I drove by this sign this morning and couldn't help laugh.  




Notice the Scottish Highlanders, sheep, rabbits - all a part of golf?  I am not so sure about the donkeys.

All humor aside, I look forward to a return trip to Bandon.  Pacific was one of the more enjoyable rounds of golf I have had in my life.  Great job Tom and crew.

Is that considered a template clubhouse?

[Ron Farris]

Aaron, with the success and vision behind Bandon I would never speculate on a template for anything.  However, I would consider anything done at Bandon as a great template - based upon what I have seen and experienced so far.

The architecture of the barn is simply stunning.  In the truest sense of CB Macdonald and Seth Raynor's style, note the straight lines of the roof outlining the side of the barn.

Ron:

How perfect. I suggest you submit this to Mike Kreiser's team and maybe they'll do the clubhouse in this theme

I thought it was to be a CB MacDonald template course. The barn would be a Bob Cupp/Langdon Farms template clubhouse.

I'm hoping the project will be that much fun.

As for the clubhouse at Old Macdonald, it will be at the edge of a new, small village which will be built north of the practice facility for the resort.  With any luck it will feel a bit like some of the Scottish courses where you play back to a small pro shop at the edge of town.

Sounds similar to the arrangement at Pacific.  I, for one, love cruising up to that little house and seeing the 18th green out there, looking so ominous.
