It's too bad all this money and effort couldn't have been put into developing more local businesses that might actually give people a reason to come here besides Bandon Dunes. Then airlines would have a real incentive to fly here, besides the goodness of their corporate hearts.
It is a fact that many people who fly into our community to play golf actively seek other things to do while here, and they often come up dry. There is a dearth of destinations and activities for visiting golfers and their families, aside from Bandon Dunes itself.
$20 million could have gone a long way towards remedying that situation. The new terminal doesn't even have an automatic access gate for service vehicles. Visiting flyers looking out onto the flight ramp are treated to the site of a ramshackle chain-link fence "secured" by a length of chain and a padlock.
It's sad.
