Bandon things I haven't done but need to do.

[Edaw68]

Confession: in four trips I have never been into the Bunker Bar. For whatever reason never gotten around to it, even though it's something I want to check out.

 

What is on everyone else's Bandon to do list that you haven't gotten to yet?

[puttnforthe8]

I have done a lot but here are a few that people miss out on:

 

-sit in spa and steam room

-play Shorty's

-get drunk on Punchbowl at night

-call your friends and family as you are walking down 18 on pacific and tell them to watch you play on the Bandon Camera

-secret whisky stash

-massage - very hot masseuse there now!

-hit from 10 Pacific to #6 Bandon

Go into Bandon - some good food, better than Bandon these days

I've done all those, except the massage, which is probably tops on my list. Haven't been to the Bunker Bar either, though I walk by it almost every evening on the way to the spa.

 

Haven't eaten dinner at Pacific yet. Always been quite satisfied with McKee's and Trails, and both of those are close to stumbling distance back to the Lodge.

 

Haven't stayed in the Grove. I'd love to experience that level of comfort at least once, but they aren't open in February, and I just don't want to fork over that much scratch just for a place to crash when they are open.

I've added massage and whiskey stash to my list.

[ryu123]

check out the Labrynth

[mallrat]

Labyrinth for me also.

 

- contribute something substantial to the Treasure Chest at Bandon (besides Booze or the green stuff)

 

- take a day off and go fishing

 

- go nuts in a 4x4 down on the beach

 

Things done not on the list

 

- have drinks at the Arcade

 

- have margarita Monday and play corn hole at our caddies house

 

Edit... 3 times this site has autocorrected corn hole to butt.

I've only hung out in the Bunker Bar once in five trips. It was just too smokey for my liking. It's a great space though, especially if you're enjoying a cigar.

 

We open every trip with a beer at the overlook above the main parking lot. It's a great way to survey the property and get fired up.

[2bGood]

Sheep ranch is the only thing I don't see listed yet.

 

the other is play all four full size courses in one day!

By the whiskey stash, are you guys talking about the irrigation box/booze stash on the hill on the right side of Bandon #10? It has been better in years past... I just checked it out again during my annual Feb trip and it was actually pretty gross... Was going to deposit some small airline booze bottles, but when I opened it up it looked more like a trash can. Could be a pretty cool little "secret" if it got the right attention.

[wtoomey]

Sheep Ranch on my list.

 

Shocked no one has said The Mill Casino or Bachelors Inn in town. Unfortunately both have been crossed off my list after a great last night roll.

[L3fty]

Here's my list.

 

1. Go to Bandon.

 

... :(

The casino is a fun night away from the resort, if you're golfed out.

 

I usually bring my wife with me, so no bachelors inn.

You just spoiled one of the biggest secrets at Bandon.

Ehh I wouldn't call it much of a secret anymore... I've played with a ton of different people during my 7 trips there, with a couple of those trips being large club trips of 16+ people, and everyone knows about it. Like I said it used to be a lot better when it was more secretive and cleaner. Everyone hears about it and conjure up this image of a holy grail that resembles a mini liquor store and haven of camaraderie and tradition. If this last trip would have been my first time seeing it, I would have been disgusted by it... Not much to get excited about like it used to be.

I have my own not-so-secret whiskey stash... it's called the side pocket of my bag...

Ditto on that! When I was there in Feb, we swung by to take a peek in there and I didn't even make my usual deposit out of fear of getting hepatitis. Probably won't even bother walking over to look at it when I go in 2018.

[duffer987]

6 (or is it 7 - man my memory is shot) trips and Shorty's and play each of the Keiser tees are the only two things I wanted to do, but have yet to.

 

Lots of things listed here I have not done, but don't feel the need.

Not a smoker, walked into Bunker Bar and went right back out. Gone soft in a world full of smoking bans ;)

[Sushiyoshi]

Bunker bar is pretty nasty with all the smoke. I stay for no more than 5 mins just to say hi to some people every year. Can never get out fast enough.

In March my buddy said it was disgusting and only some ball marks. Used to be a true little treasure chest a couple years ago.

[Edaw68]

That's too bad about the stash.
