he first of the Bandon Dunes courses, Bandon Dunes
opened in 1999. Designed by Scotsman David McLay
TKidd, the course is perched on a bluff high above the
Pacific Ocean. Bandon Dunes unfolds along pristine native
dunes where expansive ocean views are revealed on nearly
every hole.
The course is completely natural and routed through an
environment of indigenous vegetation. Beyond breathtak-
ing scenery lies the game of golf in its truest form. This is
a thinker’s course. Winds are ever-present, and the varying
elements created a new experience each time you play.

hen Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw began working

Wthey faced the challenge of following Bandon
Dunes and Pacific Dunes. Opened in 2005, Bandon Trails
begins atop a massive sand dune, and then quickly opens into
a sprawling meadow. The routing then works higher into the
coastal forest, before finally returning to finish in the dunes.
The course is enjoyable to walk and is a constant reminder
of how the game was originally created among inland rolling
dunes with dramatic ocean vistas.
