Shorty's
Shorty's is Bandon's newest short course, a 19-hole par-57 routing at 1,997 yards designed by Rod Whitman, Dave Axland, and Keith Cutten—built for exactly the kind of golf you want after your round is already finished.
There's no tee time and no green fee; walk on whenever you like, any time of day, as many times as you want.
The 19-hole short courseWhitman, Axland, and Cutten built Shorty's as a 19-hole par-3 routing from 51 to 152 yards, threading it between Bandon Trails' opening holes and the ocean. Two double greens—the horseshoe-shaped 6th/18th and a 70-yard shared 9th/13th—do double duty, and the course is named for Shorty Dow, the resort's first caretaker and self-appointed governor, mayor, and sheriff.
Bandon Dunes is walking-only and in very high demand—tee times are released as part of a stay-and-play package through the resort’s own reservations portal, not booked à la carte.
