Bandon's caddies know where the "Keiser" tees are.
If helpful advice, swing tips and fatigue reduction aren’t reasons enough to take a caddy on a Bandon Dunes golf vacation, here’s another one: they can tip you off about where to find the course’s secret tees that you’d never know were there.
As part of our recently published insider’s guide, called Planning the Ultimate Bandon Dunes Golf Vacation we conducted exclusive interviews with the architects of all three of Bandon Dunes Resort’s courses.
In the one with Bandon Dunes architect David McLay Kidd, he reveals that Bandon Dunes owner Mike Keiser had him construct a few extra, strategically placed tees for his personal enjoyment of the course.
The following is an excerpt:
“Yeah, but this is a really cool spot,” he’d say again. “Okay,” I’d say. “I’ll build a tee just for you.”
You will absolutely, guaranteed, not see them, but many caddies know where they are.
Get a good one (you should request a “senior caddie” for the duration of your Bandon Dunes golf vacation) and you, too, can play like you own the place.
