Bandon Dunes
Mike Keiser's original links masterpiece set high above the Pacific Ocean — the course that started it all.
The Honest Take
🪣 #4 on my bucket listThis one's been near the top of my list for years and I still haven't made it, which honestly bugs me. Five world-top links courses on the Oregon coast, walking-only, caddies, zero distractions. Everyone I know who's been says the same thing — best golf trip of their life. One of these years the group commits, and when we do I'll rewrite this with the real story.
Best time to visit: May – September

Where golfers actually eat, drink, and hang after the round — the dive bar, the post-round brewery, the coffee spot before an early tee time. Submitted by people who've been, not the food-critic picks.
