The building at Bandon Dunes Continues.

“THE BABY BOOMERS ARE GETTING OLDER”           Mike Keiser during an interview with Golfers on Golf.

Bandon Dunes owner Mike Keiser has said for a few years now, that the Baby-Boomer generation, still likes to play plenty of golf.

But maybe not as much as they did ten years ago. So 18 holes is always fine, plus a few more. But not maybe another full sized 18 holes.

Long before the Cradle 9 at Pinehurst really helped par-3 golf take off, there was the Preserve-13 at Bandon Dunes and The 17 hole Sand Box at Sand Valley. The three par-3 courses are becoming a must at destination properties across the country.

Because now many resorts if they don’t have one, they are building one-or have one on the drawing board.

Bandon Dunes located on the Oregon coast of the Pacific Ocean, the 13-hole Preserve will soon no longer be the only par-3 course on property.

  Mike Keiser and architects Rod Whitman, David Axland and Keith Cutten walk the land of the new golf course at Bandon Dunes (L). The pin is in, do you have that blind shot.

So while progress is coming along, everything is not yet in place. Because this new course will have 19 holes.

But what it doesn’t have is a name-coming soon were told. The logo is under construction, and opening day is TBD.

So just when it seemed the new sheep course would be the last course built at Bandon Dunes. There are more new golf holes on the way. You can follow the news as it becomes available at Dreamgolf.com.
