Bandon Trails more than holds its own at the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort
BANDON, Ore. -- Bandon Trails, which opened in 2005, is just as much a slice of heaven as the other three courses currently open at the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.
All four are on Golfweek's list of best resort courses for 2012, but Bandon Trails pulls up the rear -- at No. 11. Pacific Dunes is No. 1, Old Macdonald is No. 2 and Bandon Dunes is No. 6. And who knows where the fifth course (Bandon Preserve) will land on next year's list. Bandon Preserve is set to open in May 2012.
Beginning atop a massive sand dune, Bandon Trails opens up into sprawling meadow and coastal forest before finishing back in the dunes. The Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw design plays 6,765 yards from the back tees, and it's a course you should play at least once in your lifetime.
