• Old Bandon Golf Links - It's All About Fun

Published: Tuesday, Dec 1st, 2009 Impressionists call it beauty for the brush, pros see it as a challenge, historians honor it as a link to the past and a treasure for the future and families claim it's all about the fun.
There is a reason that in 1927 this special spot was chosen amidst the untapped countryside that caressed the Pacific coastline, a vision that lay where great beauty was beheld in any direction for as far as the eye could see, a vision that originated as Westmost Golf Course (and is still the western-most golf course in the lower 48 states), and for the last 15 years came to be known as Bandon Face Rock Golf Course.
It's all about golf, it's all about family, it's all about fun, all the time. Troy Russell resurrected the course to capture the old flavor and retain the old-fashioned look. Russell has been affiliated with regarded names such as The British Open, The Masters, The US Open, The PGA National Championship, Presidents Cup and The Walker Cup, geographically spanning three continents.

Russell also was instrumental in the development of Bandon Dunes into a world-class resort, home to the Curtis Cup in 2006.
Old Bandon Golf Links is host to a links-style experience that includes nine holes, in good form for seniors and families, but also sports a creek that serpentines seven holes and bunkers that create a challenge for even the most tenured golfer.
If you yearn for yesteryear, try a round with antique hickory golf clubs from the 1920s, or take advantage of this exclusive opportunity to try an 1890s set with authentic gutta percha balls.
The amenities are new but transcend tradition with Bocce ball, croquet, HD television, pool table, light fare and more.
