The resort features six exceptional golf courses, each with distinct characters and layouts designed to challenge and delight golfers of all skill levels.

Bandon Dunes combines world-class golf with a deep respect for the traditions of the game, and the natural beauty of the Oregon coast.

Golf Culture:
Bandon Dunes is a golf purist's dream. Walking is encouraged and in many cases required, as only a limited number of golf carts are available and they are reserved for guests with medical needs. There's a deep respect for the traditions of the game, and a visit here is more about the golf than anything else. There is a sense of camaraderie among players and a shared appreciation for the natural beauty and challenge of the courses.

The best time to visit Bandon Dunes is between May and October when the weather is most stable. However, the area can be windy, especially in the afternoons. The winter months can offer some great golfing, but be prepared for the possibility of rain and wind.

Aside from golf, guests can enjoy the stunning Oregon coastline, which is perfect for walking and wildlife spotting. The nearby town of Bandon offers a variety of shops and restaurants. Additionally, outdoor enthusiasts may appreciate the fishing opportunities in the Coquille River, hiking in the Siskiyou National Forest, or exploring the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.
