Bandon Dunes Golf Resort

OR, United States

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort comprises seven distinct links courses set along Oregon's rugged coastline. The original Bandon Dunes course, designed by David McLay Kidd and opened in 1999, ranks No. 7 among public courses. Pacific Dunes, designed by Tom Doak (2001), ranks No. 2. Additional courses include Bandon Trails (2005, Coore & Crenshaw, No. 13), Old Macdonald (2010, Doak & Urbina, No. 12), Sheep Ranch (2020, Coore & Crenshaw, No. 15), Bandon Preserve (2012, Coore & Crenshaw, par-3 with 13 holes), and Shorty's (2024, Whitman, Axland & Cutten, par-3 with 19 holes). The resort embraces Scottish links traditions with walking-only play. The setting features sweeping untamed shores, primeval grassy dunes rolling toward the sea, and dramatic coastal views. Designed to harmonize with the natural environment, the courses reveal varying difficulty and characteristics. The resort was envisioned by founder Mike Keiser, who sought to recreate the heritage and traditions of Scotland's ancient golf links. Beyond golf, Bandon Dunes offers comprehensive resort amenities including lodging, dining, a practice center, caddie services, and championship tournaments.
