- Description
- Hey fellow golfers! If you haven't yet teed off at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, nestled on Oregon's wild southwestern coast, you're missing out on a truly epic experience. Opened back in 1999 by Mike Keiser, Bandon Dunes channels the soul-stirring essence of Scotland's ancient links right here in the States. It's not just golf; it’s a breathtaking adventure across tumbling dunes with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop. One hole you've absolutely got to experience is the 16th on the original Bandon Dunes course. A par-4 that demands precision right from the tee, it offers a thrilling challenge with the ocean vistas to distract (or inspire!) your approach shot. Trust me, achieving par here feels like a major victory! For those swinging the clubs here for the first time, remember the wind is practically an extra opponent on this course. Choose your clubs wisely and don't be shy to play a lower, powerful shot to combat those gusty ocean breezes. Golfing at Bandon Dunes is like stepping into a legendary landscape where each hole tells a story and every shot tests your mettle. Whether you're here for a buddies' trip or a solo journey, it promises rugged luxury that’ll make you want to come back for more. So, lace up those golf shoes, and let’s hit the links!
