Routings
How the trip is reachable from New York. Reference for anyone still booking, none of these is held.
- Walking, bags and caddies
- Every course is walking only. No carts, no exceptions. Bring a carry bag with a stand, under 25 lbs — anything heavier gets swapped out at the shop. Request caddies ahead of the trip. One caddie usually carries two bags and caddies stay with you the whole visit. Caddie services: (541) 347-5909.
- What to carry in cash
- The posted fee is $125 per bag per round, paid directly to the caddie — held flat from 2025 through 2026, so assume some escalation by 2027. Budget $150 plus a $50 tip: $200 per man per round, so about $800 in cash for the four full rounds. The four playing Old Macdonald on Thursday should carry $1,000. Shorty’s takes no caddies. The golf shop will charge caddie cash to your room if you would rather not fly with it.
- Green fees
- $375 a round, the rate the deposit was struck at, and the same on all five 18-hole courses. Friday is a same-day second round, so Sheep Ranch should bill at 50% — $187.50, not $375. That is about $2,250 across the group, and it is not automatic: confirm with reservations that the Friday afternoon round is coded as a replay. Per man that makes $375 + $187.50 + $375 + $375 = $1,312.50, or $15,750 for twelve. Old Macdonald on Thursday is a fifth round for four players only — $375 each, $1,500 more. Shorty’s is a flat rate with no replay discount. The deposit covered one round each, so the rest lands at check-out.
- Weather
- Coastal June. Fog burning off late morning, 55 to 65, wind up in the afternoon. It is not New York June — layers and a knit hat, not polos and shorts.
Four things worth getting right. Two pairs of golf shoes: Friday is thirty-six holes, and a pair soaked in the morning fog means a wet afternoon at Sheep Ranch. Rain gear, jacket and trousers, not a windbreaker — nothing closes for weather here and there are no carts to hide in. Three or four gloves, because a wet glove is a dead glove and the turn does not stock your size. A mid-layer you can swing in. - Daylight
- Rooms
- Six Lily Pond doubles, two to a room, all booked under Jack Barone. In 4:00 pm Thu 6/10, out 11:00 am Sun 6/13 — three nights only. $510 a night, so $9,180 in room charges before tax and fees. Deposit of $7,560 is already down. Confirmations R131750.1 through R131750.6.
- Pairings
- We ran this through AI and solved it properly. Twelve guys, four rounds, three foursomes a round — 72 pairings dealt against 66 possible combinations. The schedule hits 54 of 66 distinct pairings, which is the proven mathematical maximum; no arrangement does better. Everyone plays with exactly 9 of the other 11 — perfectly even, nobody shortchanged.
On top of that: each dad gets two rounds with his own son, the “family foursome” plays the Sunday finale together at Bandon Dunes, the two young guns are paired twice, and tee times rotate — eleven of the twelve go off last at least once. - Change deadline
- Adjustments and cancellations must be in at least 60 days ahead — Sunday, April 11, 2027. Miss it and the full deposit is forfeit.
