Paging GoTravel re Golf help please :)
Hey GoTravel, I tried to *reach you* on other threads re this but you must not have seen them.
I remember reading awhile ago that you are now managing golf courses including some in the Oregon area and I'm wondering if you can give me any inside tips about courses there.
Our upcoming fall trip will be much better for my wonderful who thinks its not a vacation without at least 18. I'm hoping to provide some special side trips to special courses or something really special to make the trip especially unique.
Hoping someone really in the know (Like you) can help.
Scottish links or anything similar, or any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
(is the whole world moving to, or becoming affiliated with Oregon? Must be a very special state!)

Hi Wanderluster!
Unfortunately, I'm not in the Oregon area but in the golf business in the Charleston, SC area (Director of Marketing).
I am jonesing to play the Bandon Dunes Courses in Oregon. Two of their courses were named in Golf Digest's Top 100 Public Courses in America specifically Pacific Dunes at #4 and Bandon Dunes at #6. Those would be on my list (www.BandonDunes.com).
Crosswater in Sunriver, Oregon would be on my list (#28) as well as Runny Y Ranch Resort in Kllamath Falls and Ghost Ridge at Pumpkin Ridge in North Plains.
That is the extent of my golfing knowledge of Oregon. Hope it helps!

Ghost Creek is the Pumpkin Ridge course to which GoTravel refers. It's the public course of the two.
There are three courses open at Bandon now, GoTravel, so look for Bandon Trails to be showing up in Golf Digest soon too. Another fourth course is already in the works.
If you're planning to drive that far, wanderluster, you really should let your guy play both Bandon and Pacific Dunes. But if he can only play one, Pacific Dunes would be the choice.
