What can I say, most interesting routing on a course I’ve ever played. Tom Doak threw the playbook out the window and let the land lead the way. The routing twists through dunes, cliffs, and wind like a story you don’t want to end. Those five par-3s (four on the back!)

Impressive that they fit 18 holes in here. Some of it feels a little forced, specifically the 430 yard par 5 18th, but the vistas make you forget everything else. Tough to beat the walk. The volcano 11th is a highlight that’s not on the cliffs.

The perfect break from a full round, the Preserve is a well thought out par 3. With views of 17/18 of Bandon Dunes and carved out of the hills, blind tee shots and a mix of large/small greens, you’re guaranteed a good time.

Huge greens, but difficult. Didn’t feel gimmicky with template holes. The gorse blooming was incredible. Despite one coastline hole was still magnificent. Liked it way more than I thought I would

My favorite course at Bandon. It’s the one that feels most alive. Starting on the dunes, slipping into the forest, then climbing back toward the coast like a journey through Oregon itself.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s layout rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Layout is the layout score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs layout ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Bandon, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
