In a recent interview with Golfers on Golf, Mike Keiser provided a couple of noteworthy details about the state of the business at Bandon Dunes.
He reports that the resort’s Preserve course – “a great betting course,” he called it – generates 16,000 rounds a year, a number that he deems “a great success.” A round at the 13-hole, par-3 layout costs $100.
Keiser also said a round at the Gil Hanse-designed municipal complex he aims to build would charge a mere $10 a round for residents of Coos and Curry counties and offer 50 percent discounts to all other Oregon residents. He didn’t say what the rest of the world would pay for the privilege, but he noted that we’d be paying the bills.
