Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Oregon golf just Bandon Dunes, or are there other courses worth playing?

While Bandon Dunes is undeniably the star, Oregon offers more than just its famous links. You'll find a few other quality tracks, especially if you venture inland towards Bend's high desert courses, which provide a completely different, often sunnier, experience. Don't overlook them if you're extending your trip.

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Oregon, especially for coastal courses?

For the best chance at drier weather and less wind on the coast, aim for late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October). Summer (July-August) is also great, but expect higher prices and more crowds. Be prepared for anything, though - coastal weather can change quickly.

How expensive is a golf trip to Oregon, particularly if I want to play the top courses?

Playing the premier coastal courses, especially Bandon Dunes, is a significant investment. Expect green fees to be high, and lodging on-site adds up quickly. To manage costs, consider staying off-property or exploring some of the excellent public courses further inland, which offer great value.

What kind of weather should I expect when golfing in Oregon, and what should I pack?

Prepare for all four seasons in one day, especially on the coast. Layers are your best friend - waterproof outerwear, a warm base layer, and a wind-breaker are essential. You'll likely encounter wind and mist, even on sunny days, so don't forget a good hat and waterproof golf shoes.

What's the overall golf experience like in Oregon outside of the famous coastal resorts?

Beyond the iconic links, Oregon's golf scene offers a diverse and often more relaxed vibe. You'll discover beautifully maintained courses nestled in forests or carved into high desert landscapes, providing a stark contrast to the coastal winds. These spots often have a friendly, local feel and are perfect for a more laid-back round.
