What They Do They Do the Best....What They Don't Do...
« on: November 05, 2009, 10:01:41 AM »
Getting ready for one of my semi-annual cheap season trips to Bandon this Saturday, I was thinking about something a buddy said a few years back; "What they do at Bandon, they to the Best...What they don't do, I don't give a F*%k about"

Now everyone who has been there, knows the golf to be second to none, but what about the "amenities"?  Name 5 non-course related things that YOU think are done the best at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.

In no particular order:

1. Lilly Pond Showers
2. Salmon Hash for Breakfast
3. Meatloaf for Dinner
4. Betty (usually works the PD snack shack)
5. Attitude of the staff in general...respectful, but low-key

What are 5 things at Bandon that you think they do well?

1) I thought the second toilet in our room was a thoughtul and practical idea--one guy can shower/get ready in the bathroom, and the other guy can 'use the facilities' in the 'toilet room.'

2) Bernie
3) Fireplace in room useful to help dry golf shoes

Its pretty clear to me what they do best... Extracting large amounts of $$$ from your wallet!!   ;D

As far as amenties go, this is what I noticed:

1)  Very professional staff
2)  An amazing practice range...this is an amenity right?
3)  For such a large complex, it sure seems to be run very well with few snaffos or hickups.
