Bandon Question

bzimmer21 · July 15, 2020

I am thinking about doing a Bandon trip for my 40th. I turn 40 in December so would want to take the trip some time in 2021. I am sure there are tons of posts about this but I had a few questions that I hope could be answered without having to search through a bunch of posts.

1) How do people typically book Bandon? Do you pay for a Golf Travel Consultant or do you typically book the trip on your own? I ask because ideally i'd want to book an all inclusive package if there is such a thing.

2) What is the best season in terms of weather?

3) Do any courses allow carts? (My dad is 73 so if he were to come with walking would not be an option for him)

Thanks!

1) How do people typically book Bandon? Do you pay for a Golf Travel Consultant or do you typically book the trip on your own?

You call up and get your lodging and times. Food and other stuff are pay as you go.

2) What is the best season in terms of weather? Early May, Now and early/mid fall are the best; but you can get good weather at weird times.

3) Do any courses allow carts? (My dad is 73 so if he were to come with walking would not be an option for him) Yes; but a caddie drives the cart. You generally need a medical exception; but it sounds like they just need a request and a valid reason.

Bzimmer, you book directly through the Reservations staff at the resort. (They are very kind & helpful.)

As for packages, the resort offers off-season 'combo' deals for two golfers between Thanksgiving & early April. The combos include golf, lodging, breakfast plus dinner, for two, three & four day stays. Contact Reservations for the details & pricing (varies depending on month).

A powercart is available if the player has a permanent disability & provides documentation, pays for the green fee, cart fee plus a caddie to drive.
