Thanks,

I've been looking in from time to time, but they weren't there. I'll have to check it out.

The holes are visually stunning and this has to be a must play for everyone on this board. I have to find a way to get to Bandon. Thanks Bret.

The pics are very high quality.

To those that have been there, do they capture the experience ... well, kind of??

The photos are indeed excellent, but I found the choices for #8 and #16 interesting. 

For #8 they chose probably the only angle possible where the swale in the green isn't evident due to the mound blocking the view of that part of the green.  For #16, they chose the FAR, FAR right approach rather than at least featuring a portion of the Alps in the photo.  Two of the most distinct features on the course in my opinion.  Perhaps they are trying to save the excitement for the visitors.

Wow, thanks for sharing this info.

What a great photo of the "Road" hole.  Can't you just see the wall and stands behind....

They are great photos, and a few show the lovely rumpled nature of the land. However, the scale of the course will never be fully captured by photos. It is a 'see it to believe it' type thing. The vistas are so expansive, and some of the features so huge, that a camera cannot substitute for the eye.

Truly magical place.
