About Pacific Dunes
Tom Doak's 2001 masterpiece sits on some of the most spectacular oceanfront property in golf, where massive sand dunes and native shore grasses frame holes that tumble naturally across the windswept terrain. This is minimalist architecture at its finest. Doak moved very little earth and instead routed the course to follow the land's natural contours, creating a layout that feels like it's been there for centuries. The par-4 11th, which plays along a ridge with the Pacific crashing below, and the stunning par-3 13th perched on the dunes' edge are among the most photographed holes in American golf. What sets Pacific Dunes apart from its highly regarded neighbors at Bandon is its raw, unmanicured aesthetic and the way it seamlessly blends links-style golf with the Oregon coast's unique landscape. The course rewards creativity and course management over pure length, with firm fairways that encourage the ground game and greens that demand precise approach shots. Walking is not just allowed but essential to fully appreciate the dramatic elevation changes and ever-changing wind conditions that make each round a completely different experience.
