Bandon Dunes Golf Club

Old MacDonald is where the spirit of classic links golf roams free across the rugged Oregon coast. This tribute to C.B. Macdonald, designed by Tom Doak and Jim Urbina, unfurls across the Bandon, Oregon landscape, a testament to the Golden Age ideals where imagination trumps forced features. The course rewards creative shot-making and strategic thinking, with wide fairways encouraging bold plays, and undulating greens demanding a deft touch. The player who embraces the ground game and accounts for the fierce coastal winds will find the most success. Rather than manicured perfection, Old Mac celebrates the raw, unyielding nature of linksland. Its bold contours, vast greens, and shared fairways echo the legendary courses of Scotland. It's a course where a misplaced shot can quickly lead to a perplexing conundrum and where even the most seasoned golfer must adapt to the whims of the elements. Old MacDonald isn’t necessarily about low scores but rather about the timeless challenge of golf itself. While Bandon Dunes is now synonymous with world-class golf, Old MacDonald’s relatively recent addition has solidified the resort’s reputation for embracing both tradition and innovation. Members and visitors alike often swap tales of heroic shots and humbling experiences in the lodge after their rounds, cementing the course’s place in the modern lore of the game. And while the wind might test your patience, the post-round camaraderie and the satisfaction of navigating its unique challenges makes Old MacDonald a staple destination within the Bandon Dunes experience.
