Played Fri april 4, and stayed here at the resort for 2 nights. 5:15 round. Sunny, windy day. Teed off at 10:30, a little chilly to start, but warmed up and was short sleeves most of the round. Wind blowing at 30-40 mph.. .so definitely a 2-3 club wind. Greens firm and fast, running a solid 12.. I'd say 11 into the grain, a fast 13 down grain... downwind downgrain, forget: good luck. Course in amazing shape, as they are prepping for the LPGA event in a month. The PGA just signed a 10 yr contract as they were here in Oct. A wonderful, fun track that runs through a bed of lava rock... which is big Big Island vibes... who knew there was a volcano in Utah? A forecaddy is required, and let me tell you.. it's required to play... as there were multiple blind shots and he was very helpful with knowing where to miss. It's a rolling course, water on a few holes, lava rock everywhere... big greens. One pin placement was unplayable, as literally everyone in our group of 40 putted off the green. A pin on the top of a false front, so practically every putt was downhill downgrain downwind. but other than that, tough and fair. I would love to play this multiple times. The pro shop check in is on the opposite side of the resort as the first tee and driving range, which is weird... there is a ton of construction going on, which doesn't affect play, but a little effect on aesthetics. Food and nonalcoholic drinks are free before and during your round. There is a bar/kitchen at the driving range, so give yourself time to check in, drive over to the other side of the resort, and eat for free, in addition to warming up. They have a turnstand that serves tacos (birria, al pastor, fish, asada, tasty in that order) that you'll hit twice. They don't sell alcohol on the front 9 (2 different cities, 2 different alcohol rules). But the cart girl is totally free except for alcohol. They have a 19th hole, a 70 yd par 3 over water into a alcove green... totally cool. My guess is they jack up rack rates and resort rates once they are out of 'preview' period. the entire area is getting the Aspen treatment, so I expect the cost of everything to skyrocket in 10 years. Had a blast.

Played Sat 3/29, 12pm tee time; 5 1/2 hr round. cool and windy day, wind started mild 1 club wind, but increased up to a 3 club wind as day went on. Lots of waiting in this slow round. Never been here, and came in preparation for an ncga 2 man event. Course in poor muni shape. Fairways unkept, with dandelions littering the fairway, lots of unfilled divots, and bare spots. Greens are the best maintained feature, firm and fast, grainy, running a fast 11 downgrain, slow 10 upgrain. Tee boxes thin and uneven. Rough thick and patchy. Sand sandy. A fun layout, links style, mounds, hazards, big greens. right by the oakland airport, and apparentlly under the runway approach, and small jets are non stop landing. Fun, but not well kept, and slow on this sat afternoon. For the $100 rack rate, I'd rather go to Corica Park on the other side of the airport. If they took better care of it, I'd give it a recommend.

Played old mac, wed 3/26,. 8:30 tee time...Another awesome trip to Bandon Dunes. Today was sunny , but super windy. I was in short sleeves and a beanie. It was a 3-4 club wind, which at times affected balance. Flighted shots were needed. And a good caddy to help you negotiate the wind. Definitely got lucky on this trip as it rained hard before arrival and will rain hard after our trip. course in great shape. Greens were great, running a solid 10ish. I love Old Mac, and find it challenging and interesting. I wish I could rank it higher on my list. The whole resort is in great shape, so my current ranking hasn't changed in terms of hole quality and fun: BD, BT, SR, OM, PD.

Played sheep , Tue 3/25,. 8:30 tee time... Another awesome trip to Bandon Dunes. Today was a little rougher. Started sunny and mild wind. Wind picked up a little bit to a 1-2 club wind at times. Then a fog rolled in from holes 12-14, where visibility was 120 yds. If you didn't have a caddy, and you don't know the course, you were screwed. It burned off by hole 15, and it stayed cool the rest of the round. Definitely got lucky on this trip as it rained hard before arrival and will rain hard after our trip. course in great shape. Greens on the slower side, running a slow 10ish. Probably the worst on the resort, but more than playable. Sheep is the least challenging, but a whole lot of fun, and the most scenic. The whole resort is in great shape, so my current ranking hasn't changed in terms of hole quality and fun: BD, BT, SR, OM, PD.

Played Pac, Mon 3/24,. 1:10 tee time,. 2nd of 36.. Another awesome trip to Bandon Dunes. Had wonderful weather the whole time. Sunny, wind picked up for this round where it was 1-2 clubs at times. Shorts would've been appropriate, but short sleeves most of the day. Definitely got lucky on this trip as it rained hard before arrival and will rain hard after. course in great shape. Greens in great shape, running a fast 10ish. Of the 5, I'm not a huge fan of this one, though it's scenic and has some nice holes, it also has holes I really don't like. You have to play it once at least and form your own opinion, it's still a great course, and i'm nitpicking. The whole resort is in great shape, so my current ranking hasn't changed in terms of hole quality and fun: BD, BT, SR, OM, PD.

Played Bandon dunes, Mon 3/24,. 8:00 tee time, 1st of 36... Another awesome trip to Bandon Dunes. Had wonderful weather the whole time. Today was sunn with a mild wind. Shorts would've been appropriate if you could change into them halfway in.. but short sleeves most of the day. Definitely got lucky on this trip as it rained hard before arrival and will rain hard after. course in really great shape. Greens have been the best I can remember. I hear they are prepping the course for the US women's amateur this summer. Greens running smooth and a fast 10ish. If you read my past reviews, you'll know i think this is a great course. The whole resort is in great shape, so my current ranking hasn't changed in terms of hole quality and fun: BD, BT, SR, OM, PD.

played sun 2/23, 8:30am, cool day with a moderated breeze. Course in decent muni shape. Not ideal, but very playable... divots in the fairway, ball marks not repaired, etc. Greens running a fast 10... bumpy, lots of ball marks. The one bunker i landed, hole 16 greenside. it was hard packed, no sand.. was able to chip it out. I always enjoy this course, not long, but not easy. Can go low here due to shorter holes, but overall, need to hit it straight and putt well on these huge greens.

played sun 2/2, 8am shotgun. I think this might be my favorite resort/public course in the area. Haven't played here in many years, and it was a fun time. Course in good shape, the worst conditioned of the 3 i played. But overall in good shape. Tee boxes were surprisingly subpar. Greens firm and fast, an 11. They were the bumpiest of the 3 due to small ball marks not being fixed. Fairways lush, bunkers nice. The course is carved into the mountainside, and looks the most natural of the 3 Dye courses I played. 16 interesting holes, 2 or maybe 3 pedestrian holes. Overall had a great time on a beautiful warm day.

played sat 2/1, 8am shotgun. course in fabulous shape. Greens are firm and fast, running 11. Course lush, rough semi dormant. bunkers were mostly playable, but seemed inconsistent. The greens here, out of the 3 i played, were the most undulating and the pins were demanding. It was near impossible to hold a green, and chipping to some pin placements were impossible and you had to play away from the pin. You definitely needed to know where to miss, and even then, you had to miss right. I hit some good shots that normally would've given me a makeable putt, but they ended up rolling off the green, one time 50 ft. Part of it is knowing where to aim to play it, which requires playing it over and over, part of it felt unfair. the facility is amazing, and we had a great time on a beautiful day.

played fri 1/31, 12:15 tee time, 5:15 round, finished in the dusk. First time here in a long time, so I can't remember what it was like before the renovation. Course in fabulous shape, coming off the pga event 2 wks ago. Pretty immaculate, really. Greens firm, running 11. challenging course with water all over. Rough is dormant, but playable. Fairways running fast. A strenuous test all around.. need to keep it out of the water off the tee, hitting the green is no given, and putting is challenging. beautiful day as well. carts have a great speaker system for your tunes, but the gps was a bit sketchy. Overall had a great time.

Played 12/23, walked on as single at 7:10, teed off at 7:30. 4 hr round as a 3 some. I was determined to hit this course on this trip, as it's the best visitor deal around, and no one seems to know about it. course in much better shape than my last visit. Fairways had good coverage. greens in great shape: a fast 10 down grain, slow 9 into the grain. Very fun course. carts with gps, though they don't seem to take care of their carts. interesting holes with mostly wide fairways. Greens challenging. Tough par 3s. Helps to have course knowledge of the greens to know where to aim on approaches. Had a great time
