Hole 1

The opening hole puts a short iron in your hands with the prevailing wind at your back. Pay attention to the hole location as this green is deep from front to back. Avoid the front bunker, a shot hit to the right will release onto the green.

Hole 2

This hole features a back-to-front sloping green with a large deep bunker guarding the front. A shot played to the back half of the green is the prudent play. The cross wind places an emphasis on yardage.

Hole 3

This deceivingly short hole plays tougher than first glance. The mound left of the green is a good target as the ball will release down to the hole. There is a ridge in the center of the green which hides the back portion.

Hole 4

This hole plays downhill to the resort's largest green complex. Mounds left and long will assist a shot hit to a back hole location. This double green shares putting surfaces with No. 7.

Hole 5

With the most dramatic elevation change on the course, this hole offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. The prevailing wind will challenge a high ball flight. Avoid left as it slopes severely away from the green.

Hole 6

No. 6 is the “discovered hole” and plays at the lowest elevation on the course. Playing into the prevailing wind, proper club selection and ball flight is essential. Bunkers guard the front and left side of this green. The tall mound right of the green is a good bailout play, shooting the ball down to the hole.

Hole 7

This elevated green can play as the longest hole on the course. Pay attention to the hole location as it will greatly affect club selection. This undulated green can make for some difficult two putts.

Hole 8

The shortest hole on the course does not allow one to see the bottom of the flagstick. This bowl shaped green will assist a slight miss long and right. Be cautious of the ridge left center of the green as balls will feed far from the hole.

Hole 9

Spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and back 9 of Bandon Dunes make this an overwhelming tee shot. Pay attention to the elevation change as distance control is essential. The mound left of the green can provide forgiveness. Sensory overload is the cause for a miscue on this hole.

Hole 10

A blind tee shot as you can only see the top of the flag. This hole plays slightly uphill. Bunkers guard the front, left and back of the green. The green extends farther right than you anticipate.

Hole 11

This hole appears to be uphill but actually plays level. A shot to the right and long of the green is a safe play as it will feed back onto the green. Anything too far left winds up in Cut Creek.

Hole 12

The ridge splits the green down the center creating two tiers.

Hole 13

The final hole provides unique options off the tee. The tee shot is played into the prevailing wind and is not always best navigated with a lofted club. A bump and run or putt down the left side will funnel onto the green.
