Amazing golf course overshadowed by Pac Dunes. Seaside holes are spectacular with fair amount of mix of risk / reward. Greens are weaker than Pac / Old Mac. A few forgettable holes - but mostly a wonderful walk and a must play for anyone making the trek to Bandon.

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.

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!)

A really good golf course and a great value. They allow golf carts so if you want to play but the resort walking has tired you out Crossings is a great option. Tough walk some quirky holes but a top 20 Oregon golf course. Greens can be a bit on the slow side.

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

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then 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.
