Played wed 4/23, 8am tee time, 5 hr round, mostly cuz it was the ncga qualifier 2 man best ball, and we were putting everything out. Course condition is the same as 2 weeks ago... fairways spotty with dandelions, lots of unmarked gur,, rough decent and mowed, bunkers decent. Greens are the best feature.. roll true and quick, grainy: 11 down grain, 9 up grain. but lots of ball marks, so bumpy if you don't smooth them out. Looks like they are punching next week. Cold and windy, 1-3 club wind. Warmed up a little by noon, but didn't take the beanie off. A decent fun round with a lot of good shot quality shots, but in mediocre at best shape. Very walkable. Need course knowledge on a lot of holes. I hear the weekday rate walking is much more reasonable than the sunday rate I paid last time, and for under $50, I would play here a lot.

Played here Sun April 6, 10:30 tee time. 5:30 round. Finally made it out here as it's been on my list forever. My opinion on this is an interesting exercise. It's a beautiful scenic course.. the way it runs through the canyons and the POV of seeing other holes as patches of green littered through the brown mountains.. it's cool. It's in pretty good shape. Greens are moderately fast... like fast 11. the holes in it of itself are interesting holes... the knock on this course is it's gimmicky. And I'd agree with that. the holes are interesting, but too many circus type shots. I say it's a fun course to play, but it's not a great course. It was a sunny warm day with a 1-2 club wind all day. Course knowledge important. Very hilly, seems like most of the tee shots were 50-100 ft downhill. which again, is fun, but makes for a gimmicky course. They don't put rakes in the bunkers and they tell you to lift clean place your ball in the bunkers. And when the preround spiel is how slow the round is going to be... well... he wasn't wrong. I appreciate the heads up though. I wouldn't mind playing this a few times.. but not for the rack rate. Driving range is irons only. I don't think there was a drink cart going around... so hilly. Had fun.

Played Sat April 5, 8am shotgun. Sunny, but cold and WINDY. This is in the city of Hurricane, and it felt like a hurricane. 30-40 mph winds all day, and it felt like most of the holes were into the wind. Beanie and jacket all round. A fun layout with great views. It winds at the bottom of a canyon, with homes/condos bordering the course.... before it climbs the walls on #12 and you play the next 7 holes up, on top of, and back down. Most of the holes you have to stay in play, with water and hazards littering the course. Greens running about a 11, grainy. You come back to the clubhouse after 11 for food and drinks. Small kitchen, plenty of booze. Cart girl comes around a few times. 5 hr round, had a blast. Worth a play.

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 trails, Sun 3/23,. 8:30 tee time . Another awesome trip to Bandon Dunes. Had wonderful weather the whole trip. Today was sunny with a mild wind.

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.
