Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, Oregon
View Original Description
“Golf As It Was Meant To Be”, the slogan of the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort goes a long way toward explaining this plot of ground on the rugged Oregon coastline that was seemingly relocated from Scotland and has become a Mecca for golfers from across the globe. Offering four true links courses, the tracks at Bandon Dunes are reminiscent of the ancient courses in Scotland and the British Isles in geography, turfgrass, weather and demand for shot making ability. The original course and namesake, Bandon Dunes, affords expansive ocean views on nearly every hole. Pacific Dunes, the 2nd course to open, winds its way through coastal pine forests before bursting on the dramatic oceanfront landscape. Bandon Trails, works its way up and down coastal dunes, through extensive meadows and between ancient forests. Old Macdonald, the newest of Bandon’s offerings, built as homage to famous golf course architect, C.B. Macdonald, is quickly becoming a favorite of “Bandonistas”, as the golfers who return to Bandon Dunes again and again have been named. All four courses are rated among the best in the world and the recommendation is to experience each of the four to get the full flavor of a golfing adventure to Bandon Dunes.
No powered golf carts here in keeping with the Bandon Dunes mantra of Golf As It Was Meant To Be; walking the course with a caddie is the recommended method, although pull carts are available for those already familiar with the unique humps and bumps found on each of the four courses.
An incredible practice facility with a par 3, nine hole practice course dubbed “Shorty’s”, Fine Dining restaurants and Pubs on-site and in the town of Bandon along with first class accommodations, quaint shopping areas, local landmarks and the tumultuous surf just enhance the awesome golf experience that awaits those making the pilgrimage to Bandon Dunes. Bandon Dunes is serviced by the nearby Southwest Oregon Regional Airport in North Bend with regular flights from Portland and San Francisco.
Your dream of a great golf adventure on the Oregon Coast with its challenging links style courses accompanied by accomplished caddies is as close to being fulfilled as adding a trip to Bandon Dunes to your list. The golf and the setting will create memories that last a lifetime.
