Caution, Bandon Dunes is a beast! Bandon Dunes is located on the Southern Oregon Coast in the City of Bandon, which is just South of Coos Bay, Oregon. The Bandon Dunes Resort has everything a golfer could want, Great Golf, Great Lodging, Great Practice Facility and Great Service! Both days that we were at Bandon we received nothing less than 5-Star service. We arrived early to hit a few practice balls on the driving range and a few putts on putting green. We checked in with the golf shop where the Head Professional greeted us. He told use were were on deck to tee off, and maybe to go and hit a few putts, so we did. The Head Professional was starting all the groups, he called us over to the tee. Pretty unusual to have a Head Professional starting golfers especially when it is raining out. He then shared with us a few last minute tips before we teed off. We thanked him for everything and teed off. 

This was my first time playing true "Links Style" golf, where you can hit a 7-Iron 50 yards short of the green and let it feed up to the hole. It was hard gettingused to, but made you think of golf in a whole different aspect. I now could related to British Open style golf! With the wind being so strong I was trying to keep the ball low, I did this a pretty unconventional way. Hitting driver off the deck 16 times that day!
