Dan Hixson is a golf course architect based in the Pacific Northwest who has focused his design work primarily in Oregon. His portfolio demonstrates a versatility that spans both full-length courses and specialty layouts, particularly in the state's coastal and metropolitan regions.

His most notable work is Bandon Crossings Golf Course in Bandon, Oregon, a layout that complements the area's world-renowned golf destination while offering a distinct character from its neighbors.
