The owner, Mike Keiser, wanted something authentic and true to the Scottish tradition. My reply was 'no real estate, no golf carts, no clubhouse on the beach'. It thrills me now to watch the public playing the game as it was originally meant to be played, on the finest linksland I've seen outside the British Isles."

Designed by the legendary team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, Bandon Trails promises to continue the traditions of excellence already established at Bandon & Pacific Dunes. According to Bill Coore, "The site is extemely unique. It's characterized by inland, rolling dune land as well as exposed sand with beach grasses and ocean vistas. We're falling in love with the South Coast of Oregon." Adds Ben Crenshaw, "You hear about it, but until you see it, you just don't realize that it is such a special place".

Bandon Dunes is excited to announce the upcoming opening of its 4th golf course, Old Macdonald. The 18-hole layout is a tribute to Charles Blair Macdonald (1856-1939), the father of American golf course architecture and founder of the U.S. Golf Association. Designed by Tom Doak and Jim Urbina, Old Macdonald features the classic principles and strategies that Macdonald incorporated into his own courses, chiefly National Golf Links of America in Southampton, New York. Open for play - Summer 2010. | | | _ | | _ | | | Course architect, Tom Doak, said: "Every architect dreams of building among the sand dunes in the same terrain where golf was conceived in the British Isles. For me and my associates, Pacific Dunes is that dream come true. I suspect that any golfer would have found some of the same holes, like par-4 13th along the ocean, but it was an enormous responsibility to find the best possible routing on a site of such potential. The rippling fairways are mostly as we found them....our layout is short enough to give every golfer hope, but its rugged nature will test every facet of your game."
