About Old Macdonald

You need to experience Tom Doak's tribute to the golden age of golf architecture, where he and Jim Urbina have crafted something truly special on the Oregon coast. This isn't just another resort course. It's Doak channeling the spirit of C.B. Macdonald's template holes while adapting them to the dramatic duneland terrain of Bandon. The routing flows naturally through towering sand dunes and native grasses, with each hole feeling like a discovery rather than a manufactured experience. What sets this apart from Bandon's other acclaimed courses is how Doak has reimagined classic hole concepts. You'll find his interpretations of the Redan, Alps, and Biarritz among others, without making them feel like museum pieces. The conditioning is pristine but never sterile, maintaining that firm-and-fast links character that rewards creative shotmaking over pure power. At nearly half the cost of the resort's other courses while delivering the same architectural pedigree, it's arguably the best value in destination golf.
