  Ironic day to debut the Bandon Dunes course. Which - looks and plays great, I have played it twice on the earth, as I am in Oregon.
  
  So heres the weather RIGHT NOW in Bandon:
  
  "Along the Oregon coast, the High Wind Warning begins at 9 a.m. at central coastal locations like Yachats and Newport. The northern coast will be under the warning beginning at 1 p.m. Winds at most coastal locations will gust up to 75 mph, closer to 90 mph along the beaches and headlands"
  
  WGT sales team - theres a advertising slogan fer ya!

  Thank you to the WGT team for your hard work in making this course. When all is said and done, this is arguably the toughest course in stroke play.

   

  Can't wait for what else is in store.

  Much gratitude to WGT and there efforts for the release of Bandon Dunes. I do appreciate the hard work they put in to this,... but for some silly reason the majority of WGT players requests to include a full stroke play course seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

  Merry Xmas and a happy new year to you all - I do sincerely hope there are better things to come from WGT in 2015.

  All in all, I am pleased with the release of Bandon Dunes. The course looks amazing. I have yet to load up the Starter Rocks and go exploring. Something to look forward to over the weekend.

  With all due respect, let us give credit where credit is due. The WGT Staff did a fantastic job putting this together for us. Each and every release gets better and better. Thank you to all of those behind the scenes for giving us these great courses to play.

  Its a fantastic facility -- played it twice as its just down the road a couple hours from my own course YancyLand Par2.5
  Cant find my hat -- must have lost it during a panic attack run. Check their website - its topnotch with LIVE cams 24/7 even on the course.
  
  Team Yancy thanked them earlier today:

  Yes done a gr8 job in producing this course...........played it .it was fun ....but i think i'll prefer to play alt shot games on it rather than stroke.I dont agree with it being a gr8 addition.It is not i believe what the majority of wgt members wanted ,it probably would have gone down better being released soon after a full course had been added.

  Wow. This is a great challenge. Hardest course on WGT. I love it and I only managed to go round in 2 under. There are no gimme holes which Im sure we all agree exist on all courses. Not this one. Well done WGT

  Bandon Dunes l think is Probaly going to be a good addition to the wgt course Playing List,they have done a great job on the Production of the course looks stunning,  i think it needs a litlle Tweaking here and there  ie,  Anomalous Putting  Gremlins 

                                         All in All a  Fun Par 3  Course
