Bandon Dunes Golf Resort (Bandon Preserve)

Overview: Bandon Preserve is a 13-hole par-3 course on a high coastal dune at Bandon Dunes. Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw designed the short layout to move through sand, fescue, and exposed ground, with ocean views and compact green complexes making the experience distinct from the resort’s full-length courses.

History: Bandon Dunes opened Bandon Preserve in 2012 beside Bandon Trails. The official course description identifies it as a 13-hole par-3 design by Coore and Crenshaw that descends from a high dune toward the beach.

Did You Know? Bandon Preserve has 13 holes rather than 18, a format that lets the course concentrate its design on short-hole variety and coastal landform.
