Spent 4 days in the golfing mecca, Bandon, OR.. either practicing at the first-rate facilities at Bandon Dunes Resort or playing one of the courses. I ended up getting a killer deal on a motel that was steps from the ocean so I was pretty happy with my time there.
Ended up playing Pacific Dunes which goes neck-and-neck with Pebble Beach as being rated the Best Public Course in US. Personally, I liked Pebble Beach a bit more.. partially since the Links-style play is something you need to get used to (and I never got used to it) and I also found Pebble to be a bit more scenic with the holes going closer to the ocean. Nevertheless, another great golfing experience.
Also, played Bandon Crossings which I found to suit more my style. Was more of an inland course, but was extremely scenic and strategic at a fraction of the price.
