Great Pictures of The Preserve at Bandon

It looks like the 5th course at Bandon is really taking shape for the 2012 season. There are some great pictures from GolfWeek Magazine here. Even more reason to go there, like there isn't enough already! The prospect of 18 holes in the morning and then the short course is very appealing. You can see Alex Miceli's pictures here.

Bandon - The Legend Continues with The Preserve

As if opening the fourth course at Bandon Dunes this year was not enough for Mike Keiser and his team - another one is coming in 2012. Called Bandon Preserve, the new course is a 13 hole par 3 course that will measure between 819 yards and just under 1,500 yards - now that sounds like the perfect respite after one of the "big" courses in the morning. On our last visit to Bandon we made the fatal mistake of simply playing too much golf (it's tough not too!) and on subsequent golf trips have started acting our age and taking the odd morning off and enjoying 18 holes in a day. Bandon Preserve will prove to be incredibly popular with visitors and you can read more by Golf Digest's roving reporter, Matt Ginella here and see Matt's wonderful construction pictures here.
