Bandon, OR · 0.9 mi away
Bandon Trails, a masterful creation by the revered design duo Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, offers a captivating journey through distinct ecological zones, setting it apart even within the legendary Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.

Memorable holes abound, including the par-5 4th, which plunges downhill into a secluded valley, and the dramatic par-3 12th, framed by towering trees. The course culminates with the challenging uphill par-4 18th, a fitting test of nerve and skill. Playing Bandon Trails is an immersive experience, a thoughtful walk through diverse landscapes that rewards thoughtful play over brute force.

Bandon, OR · 0.9 mi away
Designed by Scotsman David McLay Kidd, the original Bandon Dunes course, opened in 1999, embodies a design philosophy deeply rooted in the natural, rugged beauty of the Oregon coast. Kidd’s vision was to create a true links experience, where the course unfolds organically along pristine native dunes, offering expansive ocean views and a game of golf in its purest form. This is a thinker's course, where the ever-present winds and varying elements ensure a unique challenge with every round. The par-4 4th hole exemplifies this, demanding a precise tee shot and a thoughtful approach to a green guarded by deep bunkers and the Pacific Ocean. Another memorable challenge is the par-3 12th, a long hole where club selection is paramount to navigate the shallow, firm green. Bandon Dunes Golf Resort has a rich championship pedigree, having hosted numerous USGA championships, solidifying its status as a premier destination for amateur golf. Its uniqueness lies in its authentic links character, providing an unparalleled playing experience that feels both timeless and exhilarating.
