All Jamboree participants are welcome and encouraged to replay one of Bandon Dunes' world-class golf courses each afternoon. Replays are not included in the trip price, but all guests may pay for replay rounds in the golf shop at the time of check-in or may charge replay greens fees to their room.

To reserve a replay round, Suave recommends checking with the golf shop each morning during your stay to see which course has the most afternoon availability. To book a replay round at a specific course, reservations may be made by contacting Bandon Dunes after Jamboree registration is complete.

Suave has reserved a block of tee times at Bandon Dunes on the afternoon of Friday, March 29th for those that want to ensure they play all five of Bandon Dunes' remarkable 18-hole golf courses. This round is optional and not included in the trip price

Replay rate is $90 (applicable at all 18-hole courses at Bandon Dunes) 

Lodging

Lodging at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is included with this sabbatical. Lodging is provided at the Lily Pond Cottages occupancy rooms.

There are several single occupancy rooms available for the Spring Jamboree, and those rooms are also located in the Lily Pond and have two beds, just in case you want to mix things up should you need a karmic changeup. Otherwise, the remainder of rooms are double occupancy for Jamboree participants.

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is a walking only golf facility. Carts are not available guests unless they have a permanent disability and provide supporting medical documents prior to arrival.

Weather

Like many other times of the year, the weather in Bandon, OR in late March can be unpredictable. It's possible that the Jamboree enjoys 4 straight days of sunshine and mild wind, while equally possible it rains for 96 straight hours with gusts exceeding 20mph.

We share all this to remind all Jamboree attendees and hopefuls to prepare for any and all possible weather outcomes, as the Jamboree will be taking place rain or shine. In addition to whatever you'd normally bring to a 4-day golf trip, Suave encourages everyone visiting with us to strongly consider bringing the following items:

  • Multiple pairs of golf shoes
  • Rain jacket & rain pants
  • Rain gloves
  • Comfortable socks (bring 3 more pairs that you think)
