- Hey fellow golf enthusiasts! If you haven't yet teed off at Bandon Dunes Sheep Ranch, let me take you on a virtual tour of this coastal gem. Nestled right on the wild Oregon coastline, this course isn’t just about golf; it's an experience. Every hole here gifts you a panoramic view of the mighty Pacific, making each swing a moment to remember. One standout is the third hole, a par-3 that will challenge your precision as you play over a cliff with the ocean sprawling behind. It’s as breathtaking as it sounds! Crafted by the legendary duo Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, Sheep Ranch respects the natural contours of the land. It opened its doors to the public in June 2020, transitioning from an exclusive spot with 13 greens to a full 18-hole beauty. For first-timers, remember—club selection is key.

So, whether you're here to challenge your skills or just soak in the cliff-top vistas, Bandon Dunes Sheep Ranch is more than just a round of golf—it's a bucket-list adventure that speaks to the soul of the game.
