Where2Golf says:
Bandon Dunes Golf Resort (Bandon Dunes course): As the oldest layout in the Bandon Dunes championship quartet, the Bandon Dunes course blazed the trail for those that came after, both here and around the world. Designed by Scotsman David McLay-Kidd, the course is perched on a bluff high above the Pacific Ocean. The layout unfolds along pristine native dunes where expansive ocean views are revealed on nearly every hole.
The Bandon Dunes course is largely sculpted by the gently rolling dunes, and routed through an open almost treeless environment of indigenous vegetation. Beyond breathtaking scenery lies the game of golf as it has been played for generations. Winds are ever-present, creating a different experience each time you play.
Laid out in two nine-hole loops, open pleasantly undulating terrain and fescued mounds dominate the scene. Threatening wayward shots is a myriad of rugged crater-like bunkering and plenty of mischievous pot bunkers. Like its siblings, there are few water hazards, but plenty of firm fast playing surfaces, not least in and around the greens. From the tee you look out to reassuringly wide (sometimes very wide) landing areas.
Every golfer will develop his or her personal favourites amongst this stunning collection of golf holes. Hard to beat the six ocean-front holes (three on the front-nine, three on the back) that sit directly on top of the bluff. Just behind them are equally captivating and challenging holes. The stretch from the par-4 4th to the par-3 6th is majestic. Or perhaps you'll savour the closing stretch, starting at the intimidating long par-3 15th and stunningly scenic short par-4 16th. The views on this closing stretch are among the best from any golf course .... anywhere.
At America's favourite links golf resort, playing the original Bandon Dunes layout is a must. In our opinion it's the Bandon layout that gets closest to the classic links courses of Britain and Ireland .... it also offers the best of the resort's oceanside scenery and coastal views.
Stay & Play: on-site accommodation is available at Bandon Dunes in a variety of luxury lodges, inns and cottages (see Where2Stay section below).

Did you know?

Mike Keiser, co-founder of greeting card giant Recycled Paper Greetings, fell in love with the links golf courses of the British Isles. He decided these coastal duneland courses, much visited by North American golfers, needed to be brought much closer to home. And so Bandon Dunes was created - an out of the way golfer's paradise, built alongside the Pacific Ocean, amongst impressive Oregon dunes.

| The Welcombe Hotel Spa & Golf Club: provides an excellent Stay & Play opportunity, just a mile out of town from William Shakespear's birthplace in the centre of Stratford.

Royal Ostend Golf Club: represents Belgium’s only real "beside-the-seaside" links golf course (others like Royal Zoute are located a little way inland). Here at Ostend many holes make excellent use of an impressive area of sand dunes. From the long par-4 5th through to the par-5 14th, you play across fabulously open and gently undulating golfing terrain, with few trees, fine sea views and probably a bit of North Sea wind thrown in for good measure.

| Koksijde Golf ter Hille Golf Club: on what was previously open farmland, an enjoyable and challenging links-style layout has been crafted.
