I dunno Tom........
......Last Sunday I played 36 holes, at Bandon in a 3 club wind, then in the afternoon at Pac, where the wind was REALLY up (bunt driver from the lower tee on #10, a knockdown 4 on #11). Green markers each time.
I am about a 10, though not playing to that this season, and shot 84/86.
My low score at Bandon is 77, and 75 at Pac the first time I played 18 there, in a morning winter calm 5 birdie fest between storms.
As much as I have played all three courses, I don't feel qualified to discuss the relative difficulties of Bandon/Pac.
I do know that for me the Trails is without a doubt the most difficult.
The uber-tight turf scares me, and the closing stretch, uphill and into the wind, is a tough way to get in with a score. For me at least.
Best,
Tom
ps....Old Mac is growing in beautifully.
