    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.

    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!)

    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

    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.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery 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 scenery 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.
