Bandon Trails, opened in 2005 at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Oregon, was designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. This 6,759-yard, par-71 course, with a rating of 73.1 and slope of 139, ranks No. 13 on Golfweek’s 2025 Top 100 Public Courses. Unlike its coastal siblings, it transitions from dunes to meadows and pine forests, offering a diverse landscape. Amenities include Trails End restaurant and resort lodging like The Lodge. Its design balances natural integration with strategic challenge, earning accolades for its unique setting.

Bandon Trails plays through varied terrain, with open fairways giving way to tight, tree-lined holes and strategic bunkering. Golfers face challenges like the par-5 14th, where elevation changes and bunkers demand careful navigation. X reviews note its quieter beauty compared to Bandon’s coastal courses, with firm greens and subtle contours requiring precision. The course’s playability suits a range of skill levels, but its back-nine complexity rewards course management and shot versatility.
