CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
A Mixed Bag -
This is a well-written, attractive pamphlet. It contains a handful of decent "insider" tips (such as the names of caddies to request and flight info from Portland or Eugene)and excellent interviews with Kidd, Doak and Coore that I hadn't seen. But it is for those who don't have access to the internet. It is a brochure for the resort. One would be better off buying Stephen Goodwin's Dream Golf, the same price I hasten to add, and reading the numerous pieces available on the web. While I applaud the work of the Golf odyssey/insider folks, I would only recommend Planning the Ultimate Bandon Dunes Golf Vacation as a place to start one's research. Buy it if you're a fanatic like myself, but then move on to Dream Golf and internet research.

This was money well spent. A quick read but with tons of useful advice - kinda like having a cheat sheet for setting up a vacation. Easy to make decisions based on the detailed info. Love the interviews with the golf course architects as it's nice to hear them describe their work in their own words for a change. If the courses are half as nice as these amazing photos, we're in for a treat! Bottom line: my friends and I have never been to Bandon but we chose it for our yearly golf trip and now we're confident we'll get the most out of it.
Definitely "insider". -
I actually bought this book after my Bandon trip (which was amazing) as a gift for my dad and it does a fantaastic job telling you what to expect from the golf courses, rooms, restaurants and the other things to do in the area if you're not playing 36 holes a day. The descriptions were spot on and I only wish I had bought it for myself before I left because I would have known about the "secret" stuff like the Sheep Ranch course, the par-3 course, the best caddies to ask for, and the new course being built next to Pacific Dunes. I guess I'll just have to go back with dad!
