  We're excited to announce that Bandon Dunes is coming to WGT early next year, joining our existing championship courses as a free stroke play course. 

  It will launch as a 9-hole, par-3 stroke play course and you can help choose which holes are included, by voting in the Bandon Dunes survey.

  For more information and link to vote, check out our blog post here.

  Read the news again. It says "Bandon Dunes has decided to create a 9-hole, par-3 course based on players' favorite par-3’s at the Resort." Leading me to believe that it was Brandon Dunes decision. That is to say Brandon Dunes said to WGT if you want our course you can shoot 9 of our par 3 holes to make a course. WGT can't force a course owner to let them shoot on of their full 18 hole courses if they don't want them to. Just be happy with what we get and not complain because you aren't getting exactly what you want.

  I apologize in advance for the negativity that follows, but I just can't help myself...............

  There are 4 courses in America's top 20 at Bandon Dunes, and we're getting 9 par 3 holes? Basically a glorified CTTH that we can putt on. Thanks for that..............

  the besta 9 hole is swell, but one of the other 18 holes, especially old macdonald, the links course, woulda been a heckuva lot better

  Then i would of politely told Bandon Dunes to shove it and used the resources elsewhere.
