I took this photo just as we were finishing our last round of the day, at Bandon Preserve. Nice of them to leave the light on for us!
This view is right between the 16th green and 17th tee of Bandon Dunes, and even has a small bench to help you linger just a little bit longer.
The 434 yard par four 5th hole favors precision over power with an ideal position up the left-hand side. There is plenty of room right on the fairway, which slopes hard from right to left, but an approach there can be obstructed by the mound, making for a much more difficult approach compared to the left side. That side carries its own risk as the trees down the left side can block a player out if their shot goes a little too far left. The green has a spine running through it and a steep swale that gobbles up any approach slightly right of target.
