The Routing
Mike Keiser, known for his personal scale of grading conceptual holes during planning, says the property abounds with limitless opportunity for great golf. Yes, that means almost unheard of scores—think eights and nines—on Keiser’s scale out of 10.
A first look at Bandon’s new par-3 course.
Architects:
Rod Whitman, Dave Axland, and Keith Cutten
Details:
A 19-hole par-3 course
Opening:
No schedule for opening yet.
Where is it?
The new short course at the resort will be located between the first hole of Bandon Trails and the ocean to the west. The site, with its incredible long views, has enormous potential.
On a mission:
Similar to its neighboring short course, Bandon Preserve, the new short course will again be a ‘course with a mission,’ directly funding the Wild Rivers Coast Alliance’s grant-making efforts on the Southern Oregon Coast.
