I had some friends go last year. He said his only regret was not being in better physical/cardio shape. He also said to take a day of rest in between rounds to go explore and relax/rest. Said there’s not much to do around the courses

I went to Bandon in 2021 with a large group. I am not in any kind of good shape, and I really didn't have an issue with the walking. We played 6 rounds in 5 days, plus the Preserve. The day we played 36, I was pretty worn out after, but nothing too bad (actually shot my best round on the trip - 79 at Bandon Dunes on second 18).

I did spend a month or so walking every day leading up to the trip and the last few rounds of golf before I went, I walked instead of riding.

FootJoy Flex and good socks were a life saver! I still believe the golf is so good that you forget about the strain of the walking. Enjoy the trip!
