@razorachilles - yeah, Bandon is a pain to get to but definitely worth it. When I went, we played Columbia Edgewater and both courses at Pumpkin Ridge in Portland, drove up to Seattle to play Chambers Bay, and then went down to Bandon for a few days. At the time, there were only 3 courses at the resort - would really like to go back now that they have Old MacDonald and Sheep Ranch. Honestly, though, you can almost go to Ireland or Scotland for what it costs to go to Bandon so probably should also factor that into the decision.
I just ordered this golf towel today. One of the more tragic endings of a golf tournament I’ve ever seen! 😂
Ocean point Fripp island, SC hole 9 right on the ocean.
Ocean point is also the only course I have played where deer are all the time walking across the green while putting. Can walk right up to them and pet them if your brave enough.
Torrey Pines - South course
Royal Melbourne
Golf Club of Tenness
@ugadawgs07 @BoroDawg Didn't see deer when I played Ocean Pt in 2013, but did see THIS beast by the 13th tee. Normally a stickler for the rules, I asked my wife if I could take relief - she said, "I DON'T CARE WHAT THE RULES ARE, you are not hitting a tee shot from there!"
Since UGA was in the midst of a 3-year run over FLA, I should have given it the GATOR HATER update before moving on by!
That is a monster! We had about a 6 footer walk across the fairway over at Ocean Creek once, but thankfully we've never encountered that guy at Ocean Point.
My sister-in-law worked at ocean point for a long time, so I’ve had the privilege of playing there a lot. There was one bigger then that guy ( could be the same one 7 years later). Google alligator at Fripp Island and you will see the one I am referencing.
That toddler can't believe that deer walked over his line! 🤣
Mercy...you married a wise woman!
Yeah - that's what I was thinking...would rather play in UK/Ireland before Oregon, but will keep it on the list nonetheless.
Will likely have to stick with local courses this year - quaran-TEE-ing, if you will; but now that both my daughters are off to college I'm looking to add some more trips in the coming years.
Anyone here golfed Hawaii? I haven't but am in the early phases of planning a vacation so would be good to get some input on potential courses
Have really enjoyed reading this thread lately for a change up. Assuming there will be no DawgNation golf tourney, but if anyone wants to try to play sometime around ATL shoot me a message. Was playing around an 8 before my daughter was born 6 months ago— guessing that’s now gone up lol, but looking to get back out there.
Favorite Courses I’ve played in GA:
Ocean Forest
Waterfall Club
Hard to find a bad course on Maui. The only two I've played were Kapalua (Plantation) & Makena. Both were awesome. If I went back I would want to play Wailea.
Hawaii has some amazing courses although some have closed in the golf downturn. I played two on Maui and can recommend Makena North (before were two courses, but I think it’s combined now to one). The 3 courses at Kapalua are famous but expensive. For a different and cheaper experience head up the volcano to Pukalani and enjoy dinner afterwards at Kula Lodge. I hope these are still open as it’s been 2006 since I was there.
Thanks for the recommendations - much appreciated!
