Bandon Dunes
Plan your round at Bandon Dunes
Bandon Dunes is the original course at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort on the southern Oregon coast, designed by David McLay Kidd and opened in 1999. It plays across wind-shaped sand dunes, gorse and coastal bluffs, with most holes inland among the dunes and each nine reaching the Pacific cliffs. Wind shapes every round, and firm, running fairways reward ground-game shots. Par 72, 6,732 yards from the Black tees (74.1 / 143).

Hole 4
340
yds ·Gold
The first hole to reach the Pacific. It bends through soft duneland to an open green backed by the ocean. The green takes a running approach, but it is angled toward two deep bunkers.
Hole 5
374
yds ·Gold
Runs along the coastal edge and narrows toward a target beneath a gorse-covered ridge. It is the stiffest handicap on the card, so a straight drive matters.
Hole 6
126
yds ·Gold
A short par 3 with an exposed green and uninterrupted views of the sea. Wind decides the club, so check the flag before you pick one.

Hole 12
129
yds ·Gold

Hole 16
301
yds ·Gold
A mid-length hole on the cliff edge that crosses a deep ravine. It has staggered landing areas divided by a sandy bank, and the best line and aiming points may not be obvious from the tee.

Before you go
Everything to know on arrival
Know before you go
- Walking only: pack a light carry bag with a stand (the caddies suggest under 25 lbs)
- Request a caddie ahead at (541) 347-5909 and bring cash for the fee and tip
- Bring rain gear and a layer; the wind off the ocean changes how every hole plays
- Soft spikes only
- Warm up at the resort Practice Center before your round
- Golf-only bookings are non-refundable inside 90 days
- Cell service on the property is spotty
- Rental clubs are first come, first served and can't be reserved
Arrival & check-in
The main Practice Center sits between Pacific Dunes and Old Macdonald on Round Lake Road. If you are staying on property you can skip the car, since a free resort shuttle runs 24 hours a day (call (541) 347-5894 or use the shuttle app).
Dress code
Casual golf attire is expected and only soft spikes are allowed. Denim is discouraged on the golf courses.
Carts & walking
Bandon Dunes, like every course at the resort, is walking only, and a round covers more than six miles. Caddies are encouraged and can be requested at (541) 347-5909; the caddie fee is paid directly to the caddie plus a tip, and group caddies are also available. Free push carts are provided, or bring your own (motorized pull carts can struggle in the sand). Riding carts are only for golfers with a permanent disability, must be arranged with documentation before arrival, and require a caddie.
Practice facilities
The resort Practice Center has two full ranges, a one-acre putting green, two short game areas and Charlotte's 9-hole par 3 course, open from first light until an hour before sunset. It is free for resort guests and anyone playing one of the courses; others can buy a day pass at a golf shop. The Punchbowl putting course sits next to the Pacific Dunes clubhouse.
Rentals & pro shop
Rental sets from TaylorMade, Titleist, Ping and Miura (right-hand, left-hand and ladies) are offered by the day with golf balls included. They are first come, first served, can't be reserved, and are picked up and returned at the Bandon Dunes Golf Shop. Non-guests leave an ID while renting. Club shipping through Ship Sticks is also supported.
Pace of play
Plan for a long walk: the resort says a round covers over six miles on foot. Caddies, including double-bag caddies, help keep groups moving. Check with the golf shop for current pace expectations.
Policies
Bandon Dunes is open to the public, but resort guests get priority and lower rates. Day guests can book within 21 days of play, or further ahead at a premium rate for April through mid-November (tee times after 10 a.m.). Golf-only deposits are non-refundable inside 90 days, and later cancellations forfeit the deposit. If you skip a round for weather, contact the golf shop for a voucher; once you tee off you are committed. Greens are aerified twice a year, with a discount if you play within five days of it.
