Love that Mr. Keiser is not stopping with Shorty's.

I would love to see a Jack Nicklaus nine hole course added next.

I think there's more chance of a Jackie Chan course at Bandon tbh...

The proposed 8th course is south of town, but the permits for it face opposition.  I don't know where else they are thinking.  It wouldn't be very dunes in any of the locations you suggest.

If you watch the video, Mr. Keiser hints at where the other courses will be.

Does DMK still have the brief for that one?

Curious as i havne’t been for over 10 years, has the surrounding area of Bandon grown in terms of population and infrastructure in that time? I would think it should have made some impact as it is year round, unlike Sand Valley for example, where it is seasonal.

Was there a few weeks ago, the newest course is supposed to be about 15 mins south of the resort on the other side of town. I wanna say they said it would be Doak but it could have been C&C, I remember it being one of the two. Apparently being held up by local politics

That would be news to me.  As far as I know, David Kidd is going to build it, if it ever happens.
