ABOUT THE COURSE:
- The only inland course at the resort, Bandon Trails provides a different experience from the seaside links designs. With the holes carved out of the forest and often isolated from one another it's easy to feel like the only group on the golf course.
- Opened in 2005, Bandon Trails begins atop a massive sand dune, then quickly opens into a sprawling meadow.
- The routing then works higher into the coastal forest, before finally returning to finish in the dunes.
