Sheep Ranch

The fifth course at Bandon Dunes and the most elemental of them all. No parallel fairways, no defined rough-to-fairway transition, no hand-holding. Just 18 holes routed directly along the coastal headlands with the Pacific Ocean as a constant presence. The Coore and Crenshaw design treats golf as it was before course architecture became a discipline. Walking here in coastal fog strips the game down to its bones. You, the wind, a caddie who knows where to aim. Bring patience. Bring an honest handicap.
