The Brandon Dunes golf resort at
Brandon, Oregon could be a suitable destination for your golfing
vacation. This is the resort that tops Golf Digest's top resorts in
North America. With four top class golf courses located on the
Pacific coastline there's plenty of variety at this resort.
Among its courses is that of the
Pacific Dunes golf course. The course extends some 6,633 yards. This
is a course that has a variety of holes that play alongside the
ocean, such as the par-4 13th. This is a course with shore
pines and 60 acre sand dunes. As the architect notes, “The rippling
fairways are very much as we found them; so are the natural bunkers
at the 2nd, 7th, 11th, 13th, 16th, and 18th holes, which guided our
routing.” Golf Magazine ranks it the top public golf course in the
United States.
Or you can play the Bandon Dunes
Course. This is located on a bluff elevated above the Pacific Ocean.
As it unfolds across pristine native dunes a variety of the
course's holes have scenic ocean views.
The Bandon Trails golf course is one
that merges with sand dunes and the coastal forest. This is a 6,732
yard par- 71 course. Unlike other courses at the resort it does
include any coastal holes.
The longest course at this resort is
that of Old MacDonald which extends 6,944 yards. This is the most
recent layout to be added to Brandon Dunes. Old MacDonald begins
further inland, plays across dunes on the third hole and then the
course expands to the resort's Pacific coastline. Along its holes
there are notable variations in elevation, and some huge greens are
included. At the 377 yard par-3 there is an uphill climb to the hole
which is plopped atop a dune ridge with the ocean below. With a
variety of coastal holes it seems the course is comparable to other
gems at the resort.
With a collection of great modern golf
courses the Brandon Dunes resort is one to note. Check out its
website for further details.
