Bandon Dunes Trip

I was fortunate enough to go on a trip to Bandon Dunes with my dad (during Ida no less), and wanted to just share a little bit.
If ever you are given the chance, do not miss out! I have not been to a bunch of "bucket list" golf courses or trips, but cannot imagine one being better than this place.
The golf is so unbelievable; from the views, to the layouts, to the staff and caddies, and the food.
Hard to really put into words on here about how great it was so I will rank my courses:
1. Bandon Dunes
2. Bandon Trails
3. Sheep Ranch
4. Old Mac
5. Pacific Dunes
Just wanted to share a few pictures below

No videos of the swing on the par 3?

What made Pac Dunes your least favorite? All I know about Bandon I got pretty much from Tourist Sauce with the NLU guys. They seemed to gush over Pacific Dunes, and it seemed like it was their favorite. So I'm curious what your opinion is.

Glad that you had a great trip.
I loved Bandon and Pacific. Some courses just fit your eye.
Mac wasn't open when we were there.

Nice!
I just got back last weekend from a week long trip there w buddies. Words and pics can never do this place justice. It was my second trip there and I already had expectations built way up and it surpassed them.
I find that sometimes course rankings can depend on how you’re playing that day and how tough the conditions are w the wind.
My personal rankings are
Bandon
Trails/OM
Then Pac.
For me, I’ve concluded that the Sheep Ranch, Punchbowl, and Preserve are all extra experiences that are must play and are phenomenal. I just think that though SR is a full course, it’s really a different vibe than all the other courses and it doesn’t take the mental focus of the others. Plus, no bunkers and very few penal areas just make it the most fun walk you’ll ever take.
Personally, I think the quality of the caddy makes a massive difference in your experience there and my caddy Matt from England was 5 star. There’s zero chance I would have read most putts the same.
I think it’s splitting hairs to rank the courses in an order, and each one of them would basically be the best course in most states.
I have a much better appreciation for Old Mac after reading Dream Golf and also from having my caddy explain why it’s his favorite on property.
Quite simply, Bandon is the best overall golf experience you can have in the US in my opinion.

Bandon's an incredible place, glad you got to experience how amazing and breathtaking it is. Jealous you got to play Sheep Ranch too, last time I was out there you could see it being built but it wasn't completed yet. Surprised pac dunes was your least favorite, but every time I make the trip my rankings change too. Favorite golf resort in the world hands down.
