Bandon caddies thread

Highly recommend Chris Martindale. Has been there over ten years. He was great in all aspects and fun to be around. Saved me a ton of strokes each round.

Good morning,

I'm going to Bandon for a few days in July 2024. Is it too soon to reserve a caddie?

Can anyone recommend some caddies? Thanks

There are a number of caddie names on the first page of this thread, plus links to a couple other threads with even more names.

And it is never too soon to book a caddie. Heads up that most are double-bagging, so make sure to specify when you make your reservation if that's ok.

I recommend Joe Schmoe, Laze Reading or Kent Lift.

Woody- Been there since 2001 and is without a doubt, best caddie I’ve experienced, anywhere. He caddied for one of the guys in my group each round and he couldn’t have been happier. Same for the rest of us having him in our group.

I had Olivia. She is awesome! High school senior at Bandon High. Been doing it four years. I’m a mid single digit handicap. She was very confident in her description of how a hole should be played. She was clubbing me mid way through the back nine of our first round. I prefer a lot of interaction and conversation.

Just got back on Sunday, and here are the caddies that we really enjoyed: my caddie was called Lunchbox. He is a retired army guy and we had a great time! He was just awesome, he even came to the par 3 course with us on his off time and carried beers around, and played a few holes with us. Can't recommend him enough if you want someone fun to join your group. Others that we had that were great: Santos, Chandler, Gabe, Christian. We had one bad experience with one of the caddies, and I don't know if its fair to single that guy out. But the ones above were all great. Most of our group have handicaps pretty between zero and 10, and they really do learn your game. I don't think I would play at Bandon without a caddie again, this was the way to go for me.
