About the Course
Perched on Oregon's rugged Pacific coastline, Bandon Dunes ranks consistently among the world's top 10 public courses and holds elite status on Golf Digest's prestigious rankings. This course transplants the Scottish links tradition to America's West Coast, eschewing cart paths and real estate development for pure golf—wild winds, rolling dunes, ocean views, and undulating fairways. The signature par-3 16th hole hangs on the cliff's edge, where shots soar over the Pacific while coastal gales alter trajectories in breathtaking and nerve-testing fashion. Nearly every hole offers ocean vistas, and the walking-only policy restores golf to its most authentic rhythm. Without ornate embellishments, only land, sea, and challenge remain—this raw pilgrimage experience has established Bandon Dunes as the spiritual symbol of American golf's renaissance movement.
