Course Location: Bandon, Oregon
Bandon, Oregon is home to one of the world’s premier golf resorts. Situated on the Oregon coast in the unsuspecting town of Bandon, resides a true links-style golf resort modeled after the courses in Scotland where the game was invented. Mike Keiser’s dream was to build a golf course like that in the United States. Well, needless to say, he succeeded.
The third course built at this resort Bandon Trails begins atop a massive sand dune, then quickly opens into a sprawling meadow. The routing then works higher into the coastal forest, before finally returning to finish in the dunes. Heaven on Earth is found in Bandon, Oregon for golf enthusiasts.
