You may be right, but try to view it from a gross receipts paradigm.

Well, Bandon has to be played in Scottish weather. Plus I bring good

Why do you post unfactual items?
Bandon in 2007 is $195 for your first round, $100 for a replay on any
course and it's free if you want to play more. $295 for 2+ rounds of
golf. Not even close to your $400/round post.

I guess it depends upon where you draw the "Sucker vs. Unique Golf
Experience" level. After playing there, I haven't looked at any other
course the same. My level of relative fear was gone/reduced. Bandon
and Pacific are special places.
You're right in that they are quickly pricing themselves out of the
reach of the great majority of golfers who appreciate the game for what
it is rather than carving another notch in the bloated belt of those
that brag that they've been there. I'll join long&left in the
lucky/glad to have played there category.
Of course, there are other places in North America that hold the same
level of fascination for me. Whistling Straights, that Prairie course
in Nebraska, Kiawah Island. There are others, I'm sure. And the best
part is that I'll also come across pleasant surprises along the way.
(Insert Soldier Hollow in Utah here...)

Pricing themselves out of most golfers is right. Bandon is outa reach for
me now, unless Tex writes 'Dillhole' on a bakers dozen more hats of mine.

For about $600, you can get two nights, four rounds, and all your food

There are a lot of things I would gladly pay $400 for, but a round of
golf isn't one of them. I can get much more spectacular scenery for

well, you've obviously never been there! I've played Bandon and Pacific
Dunes several times and don't consider myself a "sucker". On the
contrary I feel rather lucky to have been able to play there. I'm sure
you'll hear the same from others that have played these courses.

So, stay in Bandon By The Sea for a fraction of the lodging cost and
drive the 8 or so miles to the course and play it for a slightly higher
rate. No biggie - just get there to play it. Awesome stuff.
Or, better yet, make it a stop along your way up the Oregon and
Washington Coasts. Great beaches - especially in the winter - and even
better fishing the farther north you get if that's your bag. If you're
into Blues (I'm guessing by the harp always laying around) make it all
the way to Seattle for Demitrio's Jazz Alley (great music/food venue)
or the Yale in Vancouver, BC.

Different strokes, I suppose. Golfing in and of itself is a good enough

You want scenery, go a few miles up the coast from Bandon. Some of the
best scenery you will ever feast your eyes on! I would much rather go
fishing in that part of the world anyways, catch a salmon, roast it on
a open fire on the beach..some guy maybe has a guitar...(I've got a

Again, I guess it's to each his own. The scenery is free. Be it on the west coast (and much more spectacular in Canada than in the US), or on the
east coast (where the US is more spectacular than Canada). I can hike along the west coast of Vancouver Island or along the east coast of Georgia and
get far more scenery than at a golf course, and it's free!
As I get older, I stay in Holiday Inn type motels more, but the real fun is camping. Never had as good a time in any club or bar or restaurant as
some of the times I've had out on a beach, or in a campground, or on hiking and/or canoe trips. The absolute best rounds of golf funwise have been on
goat tracks. Somehow the course doesn't make the experience for me.

We camped with the crew for 5 days on the coast. Froze though it was
July. We vowed it would be our last camping trips. Bugs, dirt, and
people who are dirty and bug you.
Rental house with a dock for the ski boat!!

Well, in any event, happy travels.
I've yet to be back east, though, I hope to rectify that next year. I
understand they golf back there too.

The coast from The Carolinas on down through Florida has some really
nice natural areas...and some great golf courses...and not all of them
are pricey...or so I'm told! The Appalachians from W. North Carolina to
N. Georgia are also really nice, and I know there are some nice, not so
pricy golf courses around there, especially in Georgia...some of the
company you might keep while in the area may be suspect though! ;^)

Damn Right, and I kicked Rev outa his morning spot too, then I stole his PW

Lobster dinner Sunday night.
