I feel like the last guy to the party, but I'm going to Bandon Dunes in September with my wife, who is almost as geeked about the trip as I am. I've wanted to go there since the first course opened, but our son started working for Nike two months ago, so we immediately began planning a trip that would incorporate a visit to Portland and an extended visit to Bandon. September is a good time to go because our home club is shut down for aeration, and the weather at Bandon in September appears to be about as good as you could hope for. We're preparing for four days of rain anyway, but on courses like that, who cares?
