Pacific Dunes Course Review

Course Review and Comments

Beautiful but pricey. Got in late at 1100 because of looking at the beautiful venues down the coast high from Astoria to Bandon. Awesome, but got in late think the room was $175 and got up early for a 0700 tee time tired, jet lagged, would love to do it with a group and have more time. Had it all, cold, wind, rain, sun, hot, trickery. (now I practice 100yd puts uphill). Had a shot that was about 100 yds uphill and could just see the top of the flag. I grabbed a sandwedge cause I think I'm a fair chipper at times and the caddy said I should put it. I chipped and it was a great chip and should have been right on the flag and smiling reached the top and found my ball 40 yds over the green, guess i should have listened to the caddy. My next great experience was looking out at the Pacific Ocean (Hense Pacific Dunes) and 135 yd par three dead into the wind and no one could hit the green. So I hit 4 iron hybird out over the cliff into the wind and let it take it back and landed onto the green for my 1st par of the day. Didn't have many more...need to repeat the trip with more time. Was headed for Lake Tahoe (another story). Hope to get back!
