About the Course
As the third course at Bandon Dunes Resort, Bandon Trails has earned its place among America's top 50 public courses in Golf Digest rankings, distinguished by its unique dual landscape that seamlessly blends inland and coastal terrain. The front nine winds through towering shore pines, while the back nine emerges along dramatic Pacific cliffs. The 13th hole stands as a breathtaking par-3, with the fairway suspended above a canyon, demanding a carry over a deep chasm to reach the green. The course masterfully fuses Oregon's raw wilderness with Scottish links tradition—sandy fairways, natural bunkers, rolling terrain, and relentless coastal winds test both strategy and imagination. No two holes offer the same experience: from the intimate confines of the forest to the expansive ocean vistas, each transition feels like embarking on a new adventure. This theatrical contrast defines Bandon Trails' captivating character and enduring appeal among golf purists.
