- Hey fellow golfers! If you’ve ever dreamed of a course that offers more than just a walk along the beach, then you’ve got to swing by Bandon Trails at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. Opened in 2005, this gem was crafted by the legendary duo, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, to provide a truly diverse golfing journey. Unlike its coastal siblings, Bandon Trails starts off amidst the rugged dunes, weaves through ancient forests, and finishes on a serene meadow stretch. It’s like playing through three different worlds in one round! One hole you can’t miss is the 14th – a breathtaking par-3 that challenges you to clear a dramatic chasm. Trust me, it’s as thrilling as it sounds! And for those who like a bit of strategy, hole number 5 is your game. It’s a tricky par-4 where your drive through a dense forest can make or break your score. Here’s a tip for first-timers: keep your drives accurate and think your club choices through, especially where the forest tightens up. Bandon Trails isn’t just about power – it’s about smart play and enjoying the journey. So, whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a challenging test of your skills, Bandon Trails offers a unique blend that has cemented its place as a must-play course. Ready for the challenge?
