I think that Bandon has been very good for the game of golf, architecturally, but not good as a business model for future investments in the game--unless you are into elitism, in a very big way. Hopefully, some developer in the future will find a way to meld the great architectures which have been created in Bandon with an environment which is more compatible with the social ambience and cost of the better Olde Worlde golf venues.
