Sagamore Hills, OH — The Sheep Ranch at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort delivers an utterly unique links experience, distinguished by its mile of uninterrupted ocean frontage and the absence of traditional bunkers. Crafted by the visionary team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, this 2020 addition to the Bandon portfolio exemplifies their revered design philosophy: to uncover, rather than impose, a golf course from the existing landscape. The terrain is a captivating blend of windswept bluffs, native fescue, and dramatic coastal contours, offering panoramic Pacific Ocean views from every hole. Strategic mounding and natural hazards replace sand, demanding thoughtful shot-making and creative recovery. The course boasts five greens directly on the Pacific, with the dramatic par-3 16th, playing over a rocky cove, and the sweeping par-5 18th, concluding along the cliffs, standing out as signature moments. The overall playing experience is a pure, walking-only affair, challenging golfers to adapt to the elements while providing a truly exhilarating and memorable round. This resort gem, quickly recognized for its raw beauty and innovative design, is an essential pilgrimage for destination golfers seeking the purest form of the game.

Old Macdonald at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort offers an unparalleled journey into the essence of links golf, a profound tribute to the game's ancient Scottish origins. Masterfully conceived by Tom Doak and Jim Urbina, this 2010 creation embodies a minimalist design philosophy, allowing the dramatic Oregon coastline to dictate the course's flow. Expansive fairways and colossal, undulating greens merge seamlessly with the rugged dunes and windswept fescue, crafting a visual character that is both raw and majestic. The course challenges golfers with its strategic bunkering and the ever-present coastal breezes, demanding thoughtful shot-making and adaptability. The breathtaking par-3 8th, “Ocean,” demands a precise tee shot over a chasm to a green seemingly suspended above the Pacific. Equally memorable is the par-4 17th, “Alps,” requiring a bold, blind approach over a towering dune, a true test of nerve and imagination. Playing Old Macdonald is an exhilarating, strategic puzzle, consistently ranked among the nation's top public courses. This course is an absolute must-play for destination golfers seeking a pure, unadulterated links golf adventure.
