Just got back from my 4th trip out there. I’m largely in agreement on everything here, though I would flip Bandon Dunes to 3 and Trails to 4. I just love having holes by the ocean so Trails gets demoted. I share your thoughts exactly about Old Mac; just an epic adventure playing there and the view coming up over the ghost tree is unforgettable. Incidentally, there is a great view of OM from the 17th tee of Pac Dunes. Again, a pleasure of the resort is how the courses are viewable everywhere yet you never feel squeezed or like you are dodging shots.
Nice! I wonder if we were there around the same time. One of my buddies who I've gone with the last two times feels the same and ranks Trails the lowest because it's not on the ocean. There's no wrong answer, but the more I play Trails the more I think the golf course itself is as good as anything on property. It doesn't have the ocean views, for sure, but it's still gorgeous and I just LOVE it every time. I think you can see the Ghost Tree from 14-17 on Pacific Dunes. I love that too. There's a few holes where you realize how close the courses are, because during the round you generally think they're all super separate and distinct. What a spot.
