Price

On a remote bluff above the Pacific, Bandon is less a resort than a state of mind—no carts, no houses, no distractions. Just gorse, wind, and some of the best golf on the continent.

Plan on three or four nights to play each course once. Book the Lodge for proximity, come with rain gear regardless of season, and leave an evening free for the practice-only Punchbowl and a drink at McKee’s Pub.
