Bandon Crossings Golf Course

Bandon Crossings, located 15 minutes south of the Bandon Dunes Resort and near the port town of Bandon, opened in 2007. While few golfers probably come to this new golf hotbed on the west coast of Oregon for Bandon Crossings, the golf course does represent a niche here as a return to parkland golf. Unlike Bandon Dunes, golf carts are offered not to mention a much lower sticker price and even lower special deals. Bandon Crossings was designed by Dan Hixon and features five par 3s and five par 5s, four sets of tees and a maximum yardage just under 6,900 yards. The heathland-style is far different from the four courses at Bandon Dunes, with plush rye fairways though the design does play naturally to the ground it sits on.

The golf course takes on several different looks throughout the 18 holes, as the beginning holes play on more wide-open, links-style terrain, while the middle part of the course plays through tall, coastal furs, cedars and old redwood trees, before finishing back out on more open terrain.

Bandon Crossings stays open throughout the year and offers seasonal specials. Facilities here include a driving range and small pro shop.
