Ocean Dunes, Bear Creek, and Bayou


Ocean Dunes Golf Links is one of the most chalenging courese around and is built for windy play. Keep it low and long and you may do OK. Keep it in the fairway, pace yourself, and enjoythe feel of the place. They gave us both 9 and 18 holes.
First timers may want to use a cart as 6000 ft seems a lot longer here.
Bear Creek gave us 9 holes at thier course in Medford so next time you go down for a play in Ashland, take your clubs. I played there and had a great time. It is a short coures with some dificult shots but is great for a tune up.
Bayou Golf Club , shown above on a rainy day, is located just outside Macminville as you head out on 99. I have not yet played it but friends swear by it for a quick game or a long walk in the beautiful little river valley where it sits. Low and damp in the rainy season but very nice play in the summer.
