Bandon Dunes Golf Trip, Oregon








A few times in life we are truly Blown away. Leading up to this trip we watched the weather and the forecasts for our Three days in March were High 52, rain and wind. God had a different result. 1st day we even had hail, but the next two day's the heaven's opened and the following photo's were the result. The Oregon coast is rough and the land for these courses is called links land, (Links courses) which is the strip of land between the sea and useful farm land. Ireland and Scotland are renowned for famous Links courses ie. St Andrews, Royal County Down. The three courses at Bandon are equally as beautiful and challenging.










There were even some surprises, almost tame deer. The trip is daunting, 12 hours each way, whether flying to San Fransisco or Portland you must take another short hop to North Bend. Right, never heard of it! Then it is still a half an hour by shuttle. Don't bother with swimming trunks or tennis Raquel, this is all golf. Accommodations are very comfortable, yet understated.

Men design Golf courses and God designs coastlines. When you put great design together, the results are breath taking. It was worth the 12 hour trip.
