The Southwest Coast of Oregon has quickly become one of the world's hottest golf destinations (thanks, in large part, to Bandon Dunes), and it's about to get hotter. The construction of Pacific Gales, a new 18-hole golf course on a portion of privately-owned land in Curry Country, located about 30 miles south of Bandon Dunes, is slated to begin in the summer of 2014.
