Course record

Bandon Dunes

David McLay Kidd’s Bandon Dunes opened in 1999 on a bluff above the Pacific. Its route repeatedly reveals the ocean while working through native dunes. The exposed setting makes wind part of the course’s changing geometry, altering the useful line and the distance a shot can travel.¹

Holes: 18
Par: 73
Place: Bandon

A first course shaped by coastal wind

The fourth hole brings that setting directly into the approach: deep bunkers defend the front left, while a shot carried beyond the green risks the ocean. The resort’s course guide suggests a lower shot toward the right side, giving a concrete example of the ground-based options the coastline permits.¹
