Bandon Dunes plays as a true Scottish-style links course, challenging golfers with firm fairways, deep bunkers, and wind-influenced shots that demand creativity and precision. The layout features wide fairways but punishing gorse and pot bunkers, with greens that require careful approach shots due to their undulations. X posts praise its walkability and ever-changing conditions, noting holes like the par-3 16th along the Pacific cliffs as both scenic and strategic, making it a bucket-list course for golfers seeking a pure test of skill.
