Bandon Dunes

The course that proved the Oregon coast could become a golf pilgrimage.

Why play it

Bandon Dunes retains the energy of discovery. Its best holes use bluff, dune and broad ground simply, allowing weather to rewrite the route each day.

The original resort course moves between inland dunes and cliff edges, saving its strongest sense of arrival for the ocean-facing stretches.
