I have been back a couple of times during the last few days and want to join your feed using Google but find it difficult to ascertain the way to do it very well. Would you know of any sort of guides? This is a pretty decent blog site.

I loved it. We played the other three Bandon courses. Although all the holes are still filling in around the edges, I thought this was the funnest of all the courses to play. There are only a couple of holes with spectacular ocean views, but no matter. It is a really raw links golf experience. The wind was howling the day we played. 30 mph maybe. And that made the experience all the more fun. It harkens even more to what you see when you watch the British Open than either Bandon Dunes or Pacific Dunes. Pacific is a tighter course than Bandon. (And I think both of them are pretty wide open). This one is more open than either, but I suspect it will be more challenging than both because it looks like it will play longer. The greens are enormous – I mean gigantic. Like maybe 3 to 4 times larger than a normal green. And the thing that is most fun about them is that they just blend it seemlessly with the topography in general. The fairways are very wide as well. And this lets you approach each hole in a number of different ways. Those two things are what I think make the course so much fun. You can approach each hole in a number of ways and if your shot is off. You just have that much more to think about for your following shot The shifts in elevation on a couple of the holes are really stunning, and challenging.

You just have that much more to think about for your following shot The shifts in elevation on a couple of the holes are really stunning, and challenging. You presently can play what will be holes 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 3, 4 and 5. The day we played there was a very stiff wind out of the North. This made holes 6 (a par 5 with a big "road" type bunker) and 7 (a par 4 that goes steeply uphill after the tee shot) real challenges. 8 is a great par 3 back down the hill. Because of the wind it played every bit of the 165 yards on the card eventhough it is way down a hill. 9 and 10 were both playing downwind. 9 was probably my least favorite hole, but it was still plenty fun. The green on 11 is very wide and very narrow and the hole was into the stiff wind. 440 yards. I went driver and 3 wood and was on the edge of the green - and I hit both my shots on the screws. Very challenging. 14 is a dogleg left up a steep hill unless you want to try and cut the corner by temping a bevy of tough traps. Another huge and challenging green there. Three downwind is perhaps the easiest hole, but still very fun. A big drive down a hill but you cannot see the green. Any reasonable drive will set you up nicely for a chance at par there. 9 is just a terrific hole. You need to keep your drive left if you want to have a look at the hole. 10 is a short par 3 into an enornous green. I don't even know how to describe the size of it. Very challenging but very accessible - fun for a golfer of any level. Simply put I don't know if any other course like this. I've never played in Scotland or Ireland, mind you.
