The Bandon Dunes Solstice is a 72-hole individual endurance event played across four championship links courses at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, Oregon, in a single day (Tuesday 16 June 2026) from sunrise to sunset. The event spans three calendar days: arrival and Welcome Reception at The Punchbowl on Monday 15 June; the Solstice round itself on Tuesday 16 June (breakfast buffet opens at 4:30 a.m., tee times for round one between 5:20 a.m. and 6:10 a.m.); and departure on Wednesday 17 June. The 140 participants play four rounds across Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Old Macdonald, and Bandon Trails in a rotation determined by starting course. The event is not a race — pace of play (average 3:15 per 18-hole round) and camaraderie are emphasised over score. Entry is limited to twosomes or foursomes. The 2026 field is full; entry for future years is via a random drawing, with the registration window opening in late summer each year. Package includes two nights lodging (double occupancy), all 72 holes of golf, Welcome Reception, Solstice Day breakfast, lunch, snack, celebration dinner and drinks, and tournament gifts. Pricing: $2,250 per person (shared double occupancy); $2,650 per person (single occupancy or sharing a 2br/2ba loft); $2,950 per person (4-bedroom suites). Official pairings are shared in the week prior to arrival.

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort - Old Macdonald Golf Course

OR, United States

Old Macdonald is the fourth course at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, designed by Tom Doak and Jim Urbina as a tribute to Charles Blair Macdonald. The course asks what Macdonald would have created with the Oregon Coast as his canvas. It features 18 holes with classic design principles including vast greens, multiple angles of play, and strategic bunkers. The layout spans diverse terrain across the coastal landscape, with signature holes including Eden (par 3 into prevailing winds), Sahara (blind tee shot over sand dunes), Hog's Back (long par 4 requiring precision), and Punchbowl (strong finishing par 4 playing downwind in summer). Notable features include the Biarritz hole with its distinctive swale and elevated tees offering remarkable views of the surrounding coastline. The course presents considerable challenge through wind exposure, elevated greens, and strategic bunkering inspired by classic Scottish links design. Hole-by-hole, players encounter varying difficulty and shot-making demands. Golf Digest praised it as "the hottest course in America right now," noting its resemblance to West of Scotland links golf. The course emphasizes positional play and course management as key to scoring well.
