Hey! Going to Bandon Dunes during early October, and I've been reading a lot about the weather, courses, etc. However, one of the main things that I am concerned with is walking 36 holes a day for 4 straight days. Do you guys have any special recommendations regarding which shoes would be the most appropriate for such long walks? How many pairs should i take with me?

Thanks in advance!

  • iacas changed the title to October Trip to Brandon Dunes

We went to Bandon in November last year and basically ran out of daylight to get 36 holes in. Old Mac and Trails are both very long. So we played Bandon Preserve and Shorty's a couple of times after or before the main course that day. BP is an absolute cracker. So there are plenty of options. If the weather is bad you wont want to play 36 anyhow but good luck trying. Dont forget to try for the Sheep Ranch where you can play all day for $100 I think it was, although there are rumours its closed. You 'll have a great time whatever you do..

Oops... re shoes, nothing better than regular Footjoys will be necessary.

I agree that the Preserve is a great short course option - some of the best views on the property! October can be beautiful, and rarely really cold, but be sure to layer with good rain gear just in case, and extra socks, and shoes you have worn for a while and like. Another option if walking is too much is to go about ten miles south to Bandon Crossings, where they have carts. It's one of those "Hidden Gems" GolfLinks mentioned recently.
