Bandon Dunes dealing with large fire, course evacuated

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, the golfing mecca of the Pacific Northwest, is facing a critical situation.

According to Matt Ginella of Golf Channel, a fire has broken out on the property Sunday evening and it's no small problem.

As Ginella's tweet noted, none of Bandon Dunes' four 18-hole courses had been hit by the fire at the time of his tweet - the Bally Bandon Sheep Ranch layout referenced is just north of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort and has no formal relationship with the resort.
