(AND THEN SOME) ON
ITS ALLURING AND
ENDURING PROMISE: “GOLF
AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE.”By Josh Sens
BANDON DUNES
At a place where no one speaks of “signature” holes,
the par-4 16th on the resort’s first (and namesake)
course stands out as vividly as any. Its dramatic
green site was originally considered as a location
for the clubhouse. But by the time the David McLay
Kidd–designed track opened, in 1999, it had long
been decided that the best land at Bandon should
always be set aside for golf.
