The world-famous Bandon Dunes golf resort is iconic, and for good reason. Situated on Oregon’s Pacific coastline, Bandon Dunes’ golf courses combine 1,000 acres of lush greenery with a traditional Scottish-style golfing experience.
With cliff edges, primeval grassy dunes, and six different links courses to choose from, there are many reasons why you should choose Bandon Dunes Resort for your golf vacation.

The easiest course at Bandon Dunes is considered to be Sheep Ranch which has the lowest slope rating at 122, while also offering picturesque views.
We recommend a minimum of 4 nights at Bandon Dunes as this gives you enough time to enjoy all six courses and takes into account long travel times.
The best time for golf in Bandon Dunes is in the Summer due to the weather conditions, which are clear and sunny with temperatures that average in the low 70s. However, Bandon Dunes is usually busy year-round, and booking in the shoulder season may not mean it’s quieter.
