Buddies Trip in August...Where to go..?


Recommended Posts

If flying west to Bandon is an option, don't rule out flying east....

Ireland and Scotland (or anywhere in the UK) are just as easy to get to.

I'd also look at the Maritime Provinces in August.

Have fun!

Just so you know.. You're going to lose a lot of a day going to Bandon, especially if you don't fly all the way to Coos Bay.

This is timely... I was looking up flights from Denver and either it is Portland (4.5 hour drive) or Eugene (2.5 hour drive). So it really does not matter. Given the flight times you end up at Bandon around the same time either way.

I think Eugene had 2 direct flights but nothing really early to gain time. Portland did have a flight that landed at 9:30ish am so it would put someone in Bandon around 2:30... but not a huge gain.

I looked up Coos Bay but the flight times and delays for transferring you might as well hit the other two locations and drive. [i](2 stops....the flights I saw were 8am departure... 3:20 Coos Bay... with the hour gain..!!)[/i]

[i]either way I we are sitting ....in a plane or car... I suppose the coastal drive could be nice =)[/i]

We're going to Bandon May 1st and trying Eugene. I'll take 2.5 hr drive over 5 any day. :). We drive to San Diego every year and 5 hours isn't bad but it seems long especially on the way back. Our flight arrives at 11am so we're planning on playing shortys or the preserve and the punch bowl to get acclimated and have fun before 36/36/36/sheep ranch.

We did that in Nov (Eugene) and I've driven three other times. As I said in another thread today, for my money Eugene is easily the best flight option. I got in a day earlier than my mates, so I landed, hopped in the car, drove out to Bandon, played Old Mac, and drove back to Eugene.

Take it easy entering, through, and leaving towns as there were a few cops about, but otherwise when the sight lines are clear you can go at a good clip and it's an easy drive.

Enjoy the golf! :)
