Bandon Dunes Golf Resort - Pacific Dunes

Very nice course. Loved the front 9 layout. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Played as a single which was fine on my end. Great practice facility with about a 5min drive or just take the shuttle. Food prices were very reasonable and quick grab and go options. Did get some rain on back 9 but what do you expect, coastal weather? If I play again I will definitely play during off season, I just didn't know when I'd be back again so took the opportunity.

Best course I’ve ever played. Super hard but gorgeous. Dillion was a great caddy.

They did an amazing job with the U.S Women’s AM. Course, staff, food…everything. Can’t wait to come back with the boys!

This review is for the Pacific Grill at Pacific Dunes. On the bright side, the food, golf course views, and service were excellent. Not so good is that the restaurant is very poorly designed with a very large bar in the center. And, twice we had a large group of 8-10 people standing at the bar right next to our table. They were very loud and boisterous which would have been fine if they weren't standing two feet from our table. The bar really needs to be more isolated from the dining room. Would have given 5 stars if not for the deafening commotion at the bar.

Had a great time playing Old Mac. Beautiful views of the ocean!

Great course. Resort is awesome. Staff super friendly and hospitable. Loved our time at Bandon, would love to return in future but the lottery system makes it tough

Stopped on the way from CA to OR. No time for golf today but it was right along Hwy 101. Beautiful scenic views. Stopped for lunch and literally the best salad, club sandwich with gluten-free bread and grilled cheese we ever had!!! Received a recommendation from the waitress to try the grilled cheese...not something we would normally order at a restaurant, but it was amazing! Excellent service and great views overlooking the course. If course the wallets took a hit in the pro shop but great quality shirts and jackets! Will be back when there's time to golf!

Gorgeous piece of property and outstanding golf course! Pacific Dunes is worthy of its lofty ranking. I highly recommend and I will be back again!

A true golf destination/bucket list!!! I came here in a group of 12 for 5 days and we were treated to awesome golf courses, great food/drinks and excellent customer service. From the moment we stepped on the property, we were afforded every accommodation and consideration. My golf experience was enhanced by having a caddie who was knowledgeable, friendly and great company. He learned my game after a few holes and was having me hit shots that kept me in the game. I highly recommend asking for Panther the caddie. He's somewhat of a celebrity there but he's just a regular guy. I will never forget my 5 days spent totally immersed in golf and good times.

I agree with PF's review. I visited mid June 2024 and the greens are in awful shape. My local muni's greens were better cared for and rolled more true. This is indeed a Mecca of golf, with stunning course architecture and scenery. The course maintenance crew has one job. Keep the grass and greens nice. At the fees charged and considering the difficulty of making a booking, you'd think this would be top priority. The quality of the courses was inexcusable. This was our third visit and we all noticed a significant decline in the quality of the upkeep. Also, we were all unimpressed by the new course, Shorty's. It varies from 40 yard pitch shots to 140 yard carries. Some greens are placed only 20 yards from tee boxes, so you're either waiting for the group in front to finish teeing off or risking hitting them. The tee boxes are already shredded and sandy. There is no beverage stand on the course. Only snacks and canned drinks at the shop, which is a glorified shipping container. The whole thing seems like a half-effort to just collect more greens fees from golfers. Our group agreed it was the resort's first real "miss" with the things they've built.

Had a FABULOUS mid-week experience at the Lodge at Bandon Dunes Golf resort and outstanding hospitality from our breakfast server Cassandra! Golf on The Sheep Ranch course with caddy (and former entertainer/promoter/singer) Mark made my mediocre golf outing most pleasant! Thanx to all the staff, but especially those two!

The golf is 5 stars The lodging is 3 stars The food is 4 stars But you are here for the golf! Caddies are great and it's a true golf trip and an amazing place My favorite in order are Bandon Dunes Pacific Dunes Trails Sheep ranch Old McDonald The par course is a standout and absolutely fantastic as well. Get ready walk a million miles so make sure you know what you are getting into. I still managed to gain 3lbs even with all the walking!

Absolutely phenomenal golf courses at Bandon Dunes--I can definitely see how they are consistently ranked as some of the best in the world. I had the opportunity to play Bandon Trails and Pacific Dunes and both were beautiful and challenging in their own way. The service from staff members was also top-notch. Bandon Trails is off of the coast in a forested area. Lots of trees to deal with and bunkers in the middle of the fairway that makes tee shots a bit tough. That said, the fairways are very wide off the tee, so you have a solid chance to put the ball in play. Pacific Dunes has a lot of holes right on the ocean, so you can probably expect a fair amount of wind, which can be quite the challenge, especially when you are hitting into it. While the fairways are also wide here, there is a ton of gorse that can gobble up golf balls. Both courses have lots of bunkers built of of sand dunes. They're beautiful to look at, and aesthetically add picturesque value to the courses, but beware, because they often are deep, sloped, and have patches of grass built into them--they can really hurt your score if you are in them frequently. Additionally, both courses have very undulated greens roll very smoothly. They can also be challenging. Absolutely loved my time at Bandon and will be sure to be back! As a heads-up, know that you have to walk here to play--Bandon doesn't have any riding carts or allow them on the golf course.

Have been to the resort numerous times since 2002. Played 3 rounds during the first week of June this time. Be warned that the greens at Sheep Ranch, Bandon Dunes, and Preserve are in bad shape. The say it's healing from spring maintenance, but it's far from that. The greens are pockmarked, and scraped bare on the majority of the greens. Truly sad to see as I brought a group of friends with me that hadn't played at Bandon before. It certainly isn't worth the fees they require, but even if they charge a fraction of the current fees it wouldn't be worth it. Having played all of the courses all I can say is they simply have to do better to get me to come back. Golf is what it's all about. And the course conditions should be the #1 priority at this mecca of golf.

Ideal golf vacation. Remote rugged vistas or the Pacific Ocean. Friendly staff. Very helpful and professional. Good food 6 courses each with its own charms. Would highly recommend. The larger the group the further you have to book out.

Bandon Dunes is the Disneyland of Golf Resorts! Everything they say about it, does not do it justice until you play it! Magnificent views, amazing course conditions along the Pacific Ocean. The entire natural beauty of this course can only be found in Scotland.

I'm excited to write this review! The reservations staff at Bandon Dunes is incredible. They're always helpful and friendly. They're flexible when they can be regarding changing arrival and/or departure dates and with accommodations. In particular I've had the pleasure to work at least twice with Debbie Gibson, who's fantastic!

Best golf experience ever!! From the amazing courses, to the phenomenal customer service at each operation, this is a 10/10 and a golfers dream!! Exceeded expectations by far!! Only $900 for three rounds of golf, three night stay, and 6 meals!! What a steal!!

oh Bandon Dunes, you vex me. you say you say you'll text us when our room will be ready... and you didn't. your Library bar was to open at 4:00 but for some reason, your bartender couldn't make it on time. when we call about the bartender MIA, we get 2 different excuses that don't make any sense. Basically, reliability is not a priority but you'll charge a fortune for it good job.

Golf heaven. The weather is unreal. My rankings in terms of courses: Bandon Dunes - cannot beat the sunset on the final 3 holes. Simply breathtaking. The original is still the best. Old Mac - we got lucky on a windless day. The course is fun, doesn't eat balls, lots of really creative holes, and is just a really amazing links experience. Pac Dunes - ocean views all day. Sheep's Ranch - ranked here for me because we had rain the entire 4 hours and wind. I was miserable. Super fun still. Brandon Trails - the hardest in my opinion. Unforgiving. Lots of challenging tee shots. Totally different from the other courses. Hotel/ food Can't complain. In COVID world we had to dine in room. Hit the Asian themes - good poke bowl, and then just did the pub the rest of the days. Meatloaf still tops hands down. Also pecan pie is to die for. Note - staff amazing, caddy services made the experience so much better especially if you're playing 36 a day and it's rainy and windy. Their course knowledge is unparalleled if you are visiting and not a local. Also there's two Tesla chargers at Chrome Lodge which is clutch.

I took a trip to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort a couple of weeks ago when I was on break from school. This has always been a bucket list item that I have wanted to do my whole life. Bandon Dunes features 5 amazing golf courses that are ranked in the top 20 in the U.S. I had the chance to play 3 of the 5 courses. Bandon Dunes Bandon Trails, and Pacific Dunes All three were stunning and offered their unique challenges. Bandon Dunes is a links-style course that offers unique challenges but has an incredible ocean-side view on most holes. The fairways are wide and each hole is very open, but the greens are where the challenge comes into play. Bandon Trails is in a more forested area that is more inland than the other courses. The fairways are also very wide but there is not as much room to spare because of the trees on both sides. Pacific Dunes has many holes right by the ocean, so expect windy conditions that can be tough, especially when hitting into the wind. All three courses were phenomenal and were in top-tier condition. The views on the course are unmatched and you will not find this type anywhere else. My time there was amazing and I will be making a trip back.

The Disneyland of Golf! Seriously this is the best place I've ever been to. The golf, the people, the food, the lodging, the shuttles, the caddies, it is truly a world class resort! We came in January during COVID and they did everything they could to make it as normal and safe as possible. The debate is over, book your trip.

Of course it goes without saying that the golf is incredible!! But we went to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort with our husbands this time, and we were pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the trip was for us non-golfers. All of the staff was super friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The rooms aren't overly fancy, but they are very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed all the restaurants - Forge was a highlight - excellent service and we were impressed by the steaks we ordered, they were delicious. The hiking trails were another nice surprise! There are a lot and trails are well marked and boast beautiful views.

If we could give them 10 stars we would. Magical weekend with best time ever!! We can't speak highly enough of the beauty, amenities, service, and, of course, golf at this jewel of the Oregon coast! The bike and hiking trails were superlative and well-maintained. The staff was ever attentive and friendly at all times. High Mark's for Michael's service at the Mckee's pub. Michael Made us feel like family with comfortable on a cold night with great service and food!!

Great rooms. Disorganized service. I've never paid so much to have mediocre customer service. Rooms are huge, nicely appointed and spotlessly clean. Check in was confusing and apathetic. The lack of actual customer service was unexpected. I am pretty sure if given the choice I wouldn't come back. Not my vibe.

Trails doesn't get the respect or admiration of the other courses here like Pacific or Bandon Dunes, but I really like this course. It's inland so it doesn't have the stunning views of the Pacific ocean like the Dunes courses, but it has as many, if not more memorable holes. Plus, since it's inland a little bit it's protected from the wind that can make the other courses so challenging. This is a great golf course within the Bandon family and should be part of any trip here.

If you are a golf fanatic like I am, you must make the pilgrimage to Bandon Dunes resort. It truly is the Mecca for golf. There are five regulation courses plus one par three course of 13 holes. They are all amazing courses and have their own character for sure. The most fun we had this week was on the par 3 course because you could play as many people in your group as you wanted. So we played as a six-some had a great time drinking beer and enjoying our evening. This course does not have golf carts so you will need to walk and I would highly recommend getting a caddy because you will not know where to hit the ball and play these courses without their guidance. There is nothing to do at this resort except play golf, eat, drink a beer and then go to bed and do it again the next day. The place is extremely well run. The service is great. The folks that work there are extremely helpful and they have this place running like a well-oiled machine. Save up your money. It's not cheap but definitely go to Bandon Dunes!

Speaking only for the service and accommodations: mediocre! Check-in was completely a do-it-yourself, figure-it-out-on-your-own deal - no one waiting outside to help and not even a friendly 'welcome to Bandon' at the front desk - I've had FAR BETTER check-in experiences at budget motels. I spent all day traveling to get here and Bandon clearly doesn't care. After the uninspiring check-in, you call a shuttle and then load your own gear onto the bus - the driver opens the door and that's it - and then drops you somewhere in the vicinity of your room. Then the door opens and you're told to unload your gear and haul it in the dark to the room. Good luck! After visiting Spanish Bay/Pebble earlier this year, I am blown away at the stark contrast between the two experiences so far. At Pebble THEY took care of EVERYTHING...at Bandon, YOU do it. The rooms here (Chrome Lake) are spacious, dated and rustic - way beyond their prime and with a musty smell to boot. It's all another lesson in: you get what you pay for. I have three days of golf coming up and that will be the focus. It better be if you're coming all the way here, because everything else I've experienced so far is blah. ++++update++++ Sure enough the golf courses, pro shops, caddies and restaurants were spectacular. Great service all the way around. Bandon delivers on what it promises: a guys (or gals) golf getaway vacation. Updated my rating to four stars.

great courses, but to folks that may be going--- I played one day as a single with 3 other guys I didn't know...I had caddy--they didn't.. Caddy raked traps for them, gave putting advice, gave help with yardages, etc.. I tipped liberally, but they DIDN'T tip caddy..It was my caddy but he helped them..cmon folks

As far as I am concerned this is the best destination golf resort in the USA period! The courses are always in perfect shape playing true to real Links Golf Minus the burns but don't worry plenty of bunkers an plenty Gorse to catch your ball! This is my second time here an was able to play the The Preserve an the punch bowl this time it was under construction on our previous visit. The Preserve is a blast don't leave without play these awesome 13 holes. An the Punch Bowl makes think of playing an Alastair McKenzie designed greens so much fun! Lastly the resort is first class the different restaurants all provide incredible value for the cost! Awesome wine selections really fu

A+Golf and views.....D on everything else. To call yourself a Resort is a major overreach. There are Zero desirable amenities If your not playing a round. There is absolutely nothing to enjoy or fill your time with. So please don't call yourself a girls getaway. Most rooms are dated and lack the beauty and imagination they are surrounded by.

Beautiful courses along the beach! We were treated with amazing weather--partly cloudy to sunny in the low 70s with the calmest winds (according to the staff and others in our group). My boyfriend played Pacific Dunes in the morning, which was a gorgeous course! It was $275 for the round (price with lodging). The staff is very friendly and shuttles are available to take you around the resort. We loved it so much that we stayed for another 18 at Bandon Dunes in the afternoon ($140 replay). The ten minute gaps between groups was great for a 4 1/2 hr. round pace. We stayed at The Inn, which overlooked the 18th green--a great treat! The king sized bed was AMAZING and the blankets were of great quality. We had the best sleep ever! (Playing 36 holes could have added to it, too.) The shower had good temperature control, towels were soft, verbena soap was wonderful, and the basics were there (tv, fridge, wifi, coffee/tea). Again, friendly staff. We were even given a Bandon Dunes magnet to take back home.

All around amazing. Great place to have a guys golf trip. Nothing to do outside the resort after it gets dark but I would have to say this was the top golf trip I've been at . Great weather and ocean view for days . 4 main golf courses and courses and we experienced all of them . They are all unique in their own way . Great cigar lounge after hours and a well knowledges bartender named Justin. Great knowledge and service . The whole entire place had wonderful service from the time we got in to the time we left .

4.8 Stars because we met a grouchy starter on our last day at Pacific Dunes Course. Would have been 5 Stars otherwise. Make sure to note this is a WALKING course only. I believe you can get a cart if you have special needs, but call ahead before locking in this trip. Bandon Dunes is a true golf getaway. Find out if there is a stay and play package. We played the last week of February, got 3 rounds, 3 nights stay, 2 Breakfast buffets, 2 dinners for $700. The breakfast buffet is very generous and of very good quality, juices and coffee included of course, I would rate it $24. A super way to start the day. The dinners were of great quality, entrees themselves were about $35 and non alcoholic drinks included. Shuttles in the morning pick you up outside your lodging to take you to the course or practice facility. Practice facility is top notch. Of course, part of your green fee. Tons of stations and huge putting greens. The rounds were maybe $105 each, but would gladly pay $150 even for late February. We played Old Mac, Bandon, Pacific Dunes. True links along the Oregon coast is unforgettable. Huge sprawling fairways, even bigger greens. Better learn how to hit low stingers or the wind will destroy your shots. Some winds require 3 extra clubs, I am a 10 hdcp. Missed out on Bandon Trails of which many swear is their 2nd favorite track on the property so will definitely play it next visit. Skip the Bandon Preserve. Totally overpriced at $50 for 13 Par 3 holes?? I get that it goes toward preservation/nature funds, but that is way too much. It definitely is scenic, but I would way rather save the $75 and use it on a replay round of any of the other courses for $55!!! Each course has a unique and diverse pro shop. $700 package is a total steal calling us back for more. Prices may vary, but I would pay more for this experience again no doubt about it.

All 5 golf courses are spectacular and any of them could be your all-time favorite. We (my sons, grandsons and a family friend) were there last month and played 36 holes each day for 3 days (average number of steps per day 30,000). The weather was great - no rain, sunny (in the 60s) but wind was definitely a factor particularly in the afternoons - gusty to 35mph on Sheep Ranch and 25-30 on the other two days. I can't say enough about the quality of the golf courses. You go there to play golf - period. Everything else is a distant, distant second to what you will experience on the courses. The resort was great - service, food, accommodations, shuttles, staff were all outstanding. We can't wait to go back and we will.

This has been my 5th time at Bandon Dunes. Went there as a 4-some the week before Thanksgiving. Food and service in the resort was poor. Marshals and outside staff was unprofessional. Inside staff very courteous and attentive. Lodging at $220 per person, thus $440.00 for a double room per night is outrageous for such an accommodation (lillypond). Bandon Trail greens were mostly dirt. Overall, it seems they have grown to be too large to uphold past quality standards - definitely slipping. Then there are a bunch of drunk hackers holding up play, yet the marshal will be on you, seemingly to simply show that they are present. However, they cannot move along play because these are wealthy drunk hackers. Sadly, Bandon Dunes has become the equivalent of a fast food experience rather than fine dining. It used yo be world class but no longer! They do still charge world class prices though. A complete disappointment!

After hearing about Bandon Dunes for years, I was lucky enough to recently play. Everything exceeded my expectations: food, customer service and the course. It truly is an incredible experience; I can't wait to come back : )

Class act all the way. This is a golfer's paradise for sure! My husband and I started our ten year anniversary trip here and it was spectacular. In my humble opinion, the best place to stay is the Inn in a golf course view room on the first floor if possible. It is a short walk to the main lodge where Bandon Dunes course, pro shop, The Gallery, Mckee's pub, the small but nicely appointed fitness center and the massage center all converge. There are other accommodations, but most require a short shuttle around the expansive property and none have a golf course view like that of the Inn or the Lodge. The caddies here are tremendous and they pair you with one for your entire stay. Bandon was completely playable and a great first course to play. The links style play was new to me so this was a good opening round. By far my favorite was Pacific Dunes which has been ranked as high as the number 2 best public course in the nation. It offers stunning views and a course that will challenge the best players. The wind and bunkers are formidable but it is also quite playable even for an average golfer. Finish off your round with a cocktail or two and the 18 hole punch bowl. Then sit by the fire on the deck of Pacific Grill. And make sure to head to Bandon Preserve for the unique 13 hole par 3 as a warm up round. Service is amazing. The shuttle will bring you everywhere you need to go. This place comes with a price but the value for incredible golf, impeccable service and terrific gourmet food options all on property make it a must! I cannot wait to come back.

My husband played Pacific Dunes and loved it; scenic and technical, overall a beautiful course. Everywhere we turned was great hospitality from the Pacific Grill to the Gallery restaurant and the pro shop. They even shipped back a blanket that I had left in the room free of charge. I enjoyed hiking trails and soaking in the hot tub while my husband was out on the course. We had fun playing the punch bowl putting course together. I would definitely recommend to golf lovers out there, this is a bucket list course.

This review is for the massage services. Oh my God, I am not kidding, I have had two of the best massages I've ever had here at Bandon Dunes. Erika gave me a deep massage, I did have to work through some therapeutic pain! But coming out of that massage I felt fantastic and was ready for my next round of golf, which I won! Seriously, I'm surprised they don't advertise more heavily... It's not cheap but nothing is at Bandon, right? Get a massage in between your rounds, then send me a thank you note.

Super nice resort. Already planning a guys trip here! Spectacular views and amazing atmosphere.

Best golf in the world and I've, literally, played everywhere (except Augusta...yet). You get what really is the best of what you'd find in Ireland and Scotland with better food/accommodation and location. Be forewarned: this place is just about golf golf and only golf. It gets more crowded and expensive every year so don't delay your trip! It has the best free par 3 course and the best $100 par 3 course on the planet lol. Old Mac is the worlds greatest hardcore golf nut golf course. If you disagree with me you're wrong. The end.

Best golf experience of my life. I'm pretty sure most of the other 11 guys we had in our group would say the same. We played all the courses and they are all different and very enjoyable. The scenery is amazing. The caddies are worth the $100 per round as they are very good and some have been pro caddies. Top course for me was Pacific Dunes. the punchbowl and par 3 course (Preserve) are a ton of fun. The 18 at punchbowl while they serve drinks on the green is like no other golf experience. Overall service at clubhouses, restaurants, & bars was great. Everyone was very nice. Food was pretty good. My only complaint and others I was with would agree is that the lodging have some sort of continental breakfast in the lobby's, or let people purchase a quick breakfast sandwich/muffin/bagel and something to drink if they are in a hurry. Our group played from sun up to sun down (36 a day minimum) and we didn't have time in the morning for any sit down breakfasts. It would have helped to be able to grab something and put it in our golf bags to eat. Some people didn't eat anything until they got to a turn stand out on the courses which could be 2 hours later.

Such an amazing experience. Played 4 rounds of golf in 4 days (Sheep Ranch, Old McDonald, Pacific Dunes, and Bandon Preserve). My favorite of the 4 we played was Sheep Ranch. All of them have their own unique qualities. McDonald was the hardest. In retrospect I would have play just 2-3 courses. I believe I would have enjoyed it a little more. It is all walking courses so being shape is crucial to enjoying your rounds. Service was great and booking was smooth. Was a little disappointed with the weather being that we paid premium price for June. It was overcast and a bit rainy for the first 3 rounds but we made the best out of it. Recommend July/august if you want sunny weather for the premium price. The only reasons why I gave it a 4 star was because caddies were ok. Decided to do one round of caddie service and had requested 3 caddies. We end up having only two and they were not apologetic to the mistake. So one of the caddie end up having to carry 2 bags, which made it difficult to get pointers during the round. One of the caddies was inexperience and at many times end up asking us about the reads. Even the experience caddy was giving some wrong advices. Not what we re paying for. Paid $300 for two caddies. We still gave them great tips bc it wasn't easy carrying our bags. In addition, a Marshall on pacific dunes was not very pleasant bc we were running behind. He was very rude! No need to be rude, a simple statement of speed up our game a bit would suffice. It would be helpful to know when courses were recently punched. Initially we booked Bandon dunes instead of old McDonald. We were made aware of the recently aerated Bandon so we were fortunately to be able to switched to old McDonald. But after looking at Bandon it was actually ok to play it. The confusion threw us off a bit. Besides those factors everything else was great. We all still would come back.

5 stars because of the spectacularly beautiful setting with 4 uniquely amazing golf courses. This is a must-see destination for golfers and the place is 100% dedicated to golf "as it was meant to be" (as their slogan says) with nothing else to distract (or entertain, if you don't happen to be a golf fanatic). We played with two different caddies (Al was terrific, the other guy--not so much). It was a nice luxury for $100 to share a caddie but it certainly wasn't necessary to enjoy the difficult courses. We didn't use caddies for three of our five rounds. We had to transfer rooms during our stay which was inconvenient but it allowed us to experience two different accommodations: A Chrome Double and a Forest Double at The Inn. The Chrome Double was larger, like a townhouse without a kitchen, and it was surrounded by a lush green forest. It was peaceful and deluxe in a sort of Scandinavian way. The queen beds were terrific. We spent one night in a slightly less expensive Forest Double room at the Inn and it was more like a motel room, albeit a nice, spacious, clean one. The shower an jacuzzi tub in the Inn room was superior to the one in the Chrome room. The Inn is walking distance to several courses and the Lodge (where you eat breakfast) whereas the Chrome is a three minute drive or ride on the free shuttle. The food at the various courses was very good, especially at Pacific Dunes. Get the fish sandwich or the bratwurst and onion rings. (I wrote a separate review of McKee's Pub). As for the golf, Trails was grand and spectacularly beautiful. Pacific Dunes was too scenic to be believed and it's understandable why it's rated as the #1 or #3 best course in the US. Old Macdonald was extremely interesting as it is apparently the finest recreation of one of the old links courses in the UK. There is very little difference between the fairway and the greens, and the recommended play is often to putt, sometimes from well over 100 feet from the hole. Bandon Dunes, the original course, was easily our least favorite, though it was still very nice and had a few spectacular holes. But it had a few duds, unlike the others. The condition of all the courses was very good. The customer service and friendliness of the staff from start to finish was exceptional. Also, even though you're isolated at the resort, you don't feel like their trying to always make an extra buck of you. The major downside of a trip to Bandon Dunes is that it is quite possible you could book your trip in advance (as you need to) and then arrive only to endure horrible weather the entire time--in which case, you basically can't enjoy the golf if you dare to play. We had unexpected torrential rain (merely an "Oregon mist" our caddie called it) and we had to stop after 13 holes. And despite having rain gear, we were soaked and unhappy. Fortunately, the next three days were fine, two of them glorious. All in all, despite the remoteness and inconvenience of the place, it's an adventure that every lover of the game should go to at least once. I'd like to return.

OMIG!! THIS IS GOLF HEAVEN!! I felt like I was in Scotland...ok... I have never been there but it looked like pictures I had seen. The first night we arrived, I went out to the greens and started petting it...ahahah! It was so soft and perfectly manicured. I wanted to roll around in the fairway overlooking the ocean too but probably not appropriate. Pacific Dunes was to die for!! We had decent whether (like 1 or 2 club winds which was supposedly normal) and the course conditions were KILLER! Bandon Dunes was great too. If you're looking for a less difficult course and don't want to loose balls, this is the course to play. Didn't loose any on Bandon Dunes and lost 2 on Pac Dunes. Don't get me wrong...They are both Tough! The greens were like super ICE so practice before you go out. Caddy is key as the course is very tricky. Watch out for the GORSE!! If your caddy can't find it, it's history....just pull out another. They just started a flight from the bay area directly into North Bend. The drive from Portland to Bandon is about 4 hours-4.5 hours as you have to drive through a bunch of small towns. If you get stuck behind an RV even longer! Totally sucks! If you have the chance to go, GO!!! This place is pretty much for golfers only. There is really nothing else to do, unless you like a country casino about 20 minutes away or you like exploring tiny towns. I saw a couple ladies who didn't golf hanging in the clubhouse all day and they looked VERY VERY BORED! They do have free wireless everywhere so if you must go and you don't golf bring your laptop. My caddy was saying that 98% of the golfers there are men. COME ON LADIES!!! Food was alright but after the beautiful rounds of golf I don't really care about the food.

The OG course out of the now 5 courses, Bandon Dunes is just as pretty and majestic but more forgiving than Pacific Dunes. If accuracy off the tee is not your strong suit, this course is still tough but not as punishing as Pacific. Its hard to stay angry if you miss a putt or slice a driver bc its sooooo beautiful. The locals and caddies will tell you to leave your lob wedge at home and whenever possible, use your putter. I used my putter from 100 yards out and it actually worked out well :) Mike Kaiser is a visionary but not even he could see what this would eventually become ;) 1 course went to 2 courses then went to 4 then 5 and they're still building some other additions. Currently they are working on the best putting track in the world... I had so many expectations coming in and they exceeded all them. I will review the other courses as well.

Words cannot express how stunning this entire property is & how much fun the golf courses are to play. My list of top courses at #BandonDunes are as follows. #Trails #Pacific #Bandon #OldMac #Par3 & for any & all tie breakers the #PunchBowl. Staying on site knocks off some dough from your bill but there are great lodging options all around the area. For our budget we opted for in town waterfront accommodations & it turned out great. "To Each Their Own!" I have now been to Bandon twice & will definitely be back to enjoy these wondrous properties. Only NEGATIVE of the entire trip is the charge of $100pp to play the par 3 course which is spectacular to say the least. However to raise $ for coastal charity that preserves the coastline even that is a little steep. I truly think that the rate should be no more than $50pp for that facility. Overall I would say that #BandonDunes is the ultimate "West Coast" manventure, bachelor party destination or family golf trip if you have a ready to go threesome or foursome.

Totally awesome! One of the Greatest places on Earth! Great views, Weather was superb!

The best golf resort I have ever been to. The courses are great. The staff is polite and on top of it. The lodging (lily pond for myself) was appropriate. The food was above average. The bunker bar is a must for at least one night. Pacific is my favorite course but they're all good. Good military discount on rounds of golf. Can't wait to come back.

Simply an elite and first class resort. The oregon coast is a must for any traveler. We spent 3 days at BD and never left during that time. After long days of golf on four of the best courses in the world, the pub had good quality and atmosphere to end the day. All facilities and rooms are clean, comfortable, and modern without being stuffy or pretentious. No matter what your tax bracket, you'll enjoy your time here. The combination of nature, golf, and hospitality is rare and welcome. We played 4 rounds in 3 days and could not have had a better week. One word of advice to management: get COKE products on the prooerty! At least put it behind the bar or something...

40 plus miles per hour winds, and cold. I would love to play again but will have to save to come back. $300 for a round of golf is a little much. Had to stay way off site to afford the golf. Before you come you should hit balls off your driveway to replicate the driving range tees. The lunch was excellent however, as was the service. Yes I'll be back; I'm a golfer and we golfers are masochists.

The rumors are true. This is a true golfers paradise. Outside of the world class tracks, the resort aspect was impeccable. I came with a group of 12 guys and the organization they offered for us made a big trip so easy and enjoyable. They organized complimentary KP's and Long Drives for all 3 of our rounds, the caddies were helpful and personable, they took care of splitting our costs for shared rooms, dinners, etc. Everything possible thing you could think of for a golf resort was taken care of, down to shoe dryers in the room. The Bunker bar underneath the main lodge is a blast. Full bar, dice and poker sets, billiards, and talking golf. The shuttle services around the grounds are timely with friendly drivers, and all the starters and other were just nice people. One of our group forgot a jacket in a room and they tracked it down and are mailing to him in Portland free of charge. Truly a world-class resort for amazing golf and an amazing stay.

This was my first buddy golf trip to the West Coast. It was fabulous and most remember able. We were greeted by Shue on arriving at Resort. He was wonderful and extremely helpful. The golf course were excellent but the best part of the resort was the food. Every meal we had was fabulous. Also price was reasonable and very affordable. You get more than an enough. Staff was consistently thanking us for coming to Resort. I would recommend to anyone to go to the resort.

The women working at the front desk at the Inn and Lodge were so accommodating for me as a walk-in for a last minute hotel reservation. And the room at the inn was gorgeous. I'm so glad I decided to stay here!

Place is off charts. Took father last month and played them all once. Weather was anywhere from 45-72 and had some rain/fog and a lot of sun. Shoe greeted us at 7am Wednesday morning and it was all good from there. KC was a GREAT caddie - couldn't ask for more and will request him next time. Courses are what you have read about. It's true. Much better vibe for me then the Monterrey Peninsula. Staff off charts and helpful. My ranking: *Par 3 Preserve - after 18 in am - this is a GREAT afternoon. Couple hours to play. Most fun I have had on a course (multiple options to buy beers). *Pacific/trails/Bandon - flip a coin. Trails different type course but have to play it. *Old Mac. Maybe because it was back 18 and windy/rainy/foggy for a bit - but I played it 10 shots higher than the others. It can beat you up ( I did start on the bourbon at 8). Everything about the place is off the charts. Food and rooms (I stayed at inn and will next time - literally a soft 9 iron from the main lodge and had own bar/restaurant) are great. Nothing to worry about but your tee time and where dinner is once u check in. Golf nirvana. Don't leave campus. Leave wife @ home

A long journey for us, we flew so Seattle from London and then split the journey to bandon, stopping at florence for some casino action (we played florence links, a fabulous good value course) So was it worth all this travel, absolutely!!! We've played pebble beach, pelican hill, Torres pines on previous trips and overall this is my favourite. Do it, it's fantastic
