About Bandon Dunes Golf Resort — Bandon Dunes Course Golf Course

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort changed American golf tourism when Mike Keiser opened the original Bandon Dunes course in 1999 with a radical proposition: walking-only, caddie-encouraged, pure links golf on the Oregon coast. David McLay Kidd's inaugural design captures the spirit of Scottish linksland transplanted to the Pacific Northwest, with fairways tumbling through natural duneland above the ocean, tall native fescue defining the playing corridors, and greens that accept the bump-and-run as eagerly as the aerial approach. The resort sits on 1,200 acres of coastal duneland 26 miles south of Coos Bay, and at the time Keiser built it, critics questioned whether enough golfers would travel to a remote Oregon fishing town to make it viable. The answer came quickly: Bandon Dunes became one of the most talked-about golf destinations in the world. The original 18-hole course plays largely along the cliffs above the Pacific, with the wind a constant variable that changes every shot on every day. Several holes offer dramatic ocean views from elevated fairways, and the raw, unkempt aesthetic — no cart paths, minimal manicuring — reinforces the links DNA.
