Bandon was not in good condition recently.

One has to wonder if funds are an issue.

Pat:

You're better than that.  You're also normally more specific.

Suffice it to say, I don't think the sample size from your last visit warrants the first comment, and the second is pure unwarranted speculation.

A heads-up about summer winds in Bandon - as noted earlier, they can be VERY strong.  I remember having to wear sunglasses (which I never do) because my eyes were drying out in the wind.   That said, playing a 6 iron into a 120 yard green is pretty darn cool!

From what I heard on Morning Drive today, Streamsong probably has their sights set on being the premier resort.  Gil Hanse is doing a third course, the "Black" and what I read from it is that he was able to choose from about 800 available acres and will likely be on a little over 200 acres.  Sounds like plenty of room for at least one more course...

And don't forget (as mentioned earlier) about Nova Scotia (Cabot Links, Cabot Cliffs, and Highlands Links).   Great courses*, great people, and amazing scenery.

* - I know that Cabot Cliffs isn't open yet, but it's on the way :)

So which Hanse course opens first? Bandon Links or Streamsong Black?
