Five Links, One Resort

The Courses

A clifftop green at Bandon Dunes at golden hour, red flag against the Pacific

David McLay Kidd · 1999

Bandon Dunes

The original. The course that started it all — fescue fairways tracing the bluffs above the Pacific, and a 16th hole you'll be talking about on the drive home.

  • Par72
  • Yards7,212
  • Opened1999
Rumpled dunes and blown-out bunkers at Pacific Dunes with the Pacific and sea mist behind

Tom Doak · 2001

Pacific Dunes

Routinely ranked among the best courses on Earth. Minimalist design draped over a wild dunescape — back-to-back par 3s on the back nine and not a weak hole anywhere.

  • Par71
  • Yards6,633
  • Opened2001
A sunlit fairway at Bandon Trails carving through coastal forest

Coore & Crenshaw · 2005

Bandon Trails

The inland one — a journey from massive dune through meadow and coastal forest and back again. A wholly different test from the coastal three, and some say the best walk on property.

  • Par71
  • Yards6,788
  • Opened2005
The vast rumpled greens of Old Macdonald under a pink dusk sky

Doak & Urbina · 2010

Old Macdonald

A tribute to C.B. Macdonald's template holes. The biggest greens you will ever putt on, endless angles, and wind that changes the course every single round. Pure links.

  • Par71
  • Yards6,944
  • Opened2010
Aerial view of Sheep Ranch holes running along the cliff edge above the beach

Coore & Crenshaw · 2020

Sheep Ranch

The cliff course. Nine greens hang on the edge of the Pacific along a mile of ocean frontage — and there isn't a single sand bunker on the property. Wind is the defense.

  • Par72
  • Yards6,636
  • Opened2020

Spare daylight? There's also Bandon Preserve (13-hole par-3, Coore & Crenshaw), Shorty's (19-hole par-3), and the Punchbowl — a two-acre putting course with a bar cart.
