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.

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

Funky links like course beloved in Oregon. Fun course short par4’s long par 3’s and the crazy long par 5 18th Sandy turf winds through dunes with open green fronts for running up.

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.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value 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. State pages include courses across Oregon. Rankings refresh about hourly.
