Dream Golf: The Making of Bandon Dunes, Revised and Expanded

Bandon is a truly magical place! It is unbelievably beautiful and worth the trip. The courses, the caddies and the entire property is truly all about the golf. I was blessed to be able visit with 11 friends and I hope to go back in the near future.

Great and easy read about the making of Bandon Dunes, the people and the twists and turns as the Resort has evolved to the current four 18's (and the fun to play 13 hole Preserve course). I just got back from golfing at Bandon Dunes and while reading the book I found myself comparing how I first felt when seeing the Resort, playing the courses and just taking in the whole place. A place for golfers by golfers!In particular, I really liked the hole by hole descriptions contained in the book and recalling how I played that particular hole or rather how I SHOULD have played that particular hole.I highly recommend this engaging book for anyone who enjoys golf and a good read.

Terrific read for anyone with even a passing interest in golf, particularly links golf. Provides a nicely condensed history of links golf in the United States written in an entertaining style along with a truly great American story of determination, risk taking and leveraging the collective spirit of everyone involved in building great golf courses accessible to all. A must read if you are planning a golfing trip to Bandon. This will make your visit all the more enjoyable and meaningful. Don't forget to bring a camera!

The history behind the development of Bandon Dunes is an interesting story. The design of each course was well thought out and each course is truly a unique golfing experience. I recently spent a week at Bandon, played three courses and had the best golfing experience of my life. The place is crazy expensive but worth it, and the history behind the development added to the experience.

Must read before a trip to Bandon Dunes. A great read to gain better understanding of the dream golf philosophy and enhance your experience even if you’ve already been.

This book tells the complete story of the building of Bandon Dunes. It's fascinating especially if you've been there. I read it in 2 days and enjoyed every minute

First Bandon is a truly AMAZING place. If you have not been and read this book, you will want to go. If you have been and read this book, you will want to go again.If you haven't been, but plan to, read this book before you go and it will mean even more to you when you do go.This is a fantastic book about how the place all came together and is a great testament to Mike Kizer and his ability to take a vision and make it happen.

First of all the golf was fabulous in person! Then to read the story behind these 4 soon to be 5 gorgeous courses was fun. Thank you Mike for your bravery in the thought “build it and they will come”. We so look forward to playing them all again.... awesome vacation all about the golf and the food was worthy!

Excellent context to an amazing place!

Very interesting Book Cheers to Mike Kaiser for being such a pioneer.
