It was created by McLay Kidd and has the “look & feel” of northern Scotland (Royal Dornoch, Royal Aberdeen, Cruden Bay) .

It has several holes bordering the sea and very pronounced elevation changes with greens with a lot of movement.

It has several memorable holes, including par 4 of 4 with a commemorative plaque that identifies it as one of the best 1000 holes in the world and the short par 4 of the 16, where long hitters can reach the green with the tee shot.

It is a tribute to the best of Irland by Tom Doak.

Located 500 meters from Bandon, it seems to have a different geography: many more dunes, a stronger green and a classic bunker style of the Emerald Isle.

It was the second to be born and, for many, it is the best course of the four, with four par 3 in the second 9 holes of different orientation and length.

A few meters from Pacific Dunes, it seems to be located in another country. Firmer and faster fairways, from a grayer green tending to yellow and emulating the golf of the east of Scotland (St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Muirfield) with replicas and similarities of the North Berwick Redan, the Spectacles de Carnoustie, the green of the 14 from the Old Course, the Eden Hole also from the Old Course, and much more.

It is a kind of tribute to golf: it is the course that most attracts the attention of those most interested in golf.

It is a different golf course, with several holes in the forest, water hazards and a great tribute to the golden age of design.

Par 3 out of 5 stands out with its green Biarritz and it is a good mix of holes in the dunes with forest.

Core and Crenshaw created a course that differs from the other three courses, perhaps in line with the England inland’s. It may be the least awarded, but it is still extraordinary at the level of the other three.

It has 13 par 3 holes between 90 and 170yds, but with wind it may be necessary to use almost all the clubs in the bag. A marvel.

It is the ideal complement for a round in the afternoon after the break or played in the morning as a warm-up for a lap on the main fields.

Renovated by Coore & Crenshaw and co-founded by Phil Friedmann and Mike Keiser, the Sheep Ranch was for many years a mysterious golf landscape just north of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. Now with one mile of ocean frontage, nine green sites right along the edge of the continent, and stunning Pacific Ocean views on every hole, Sheep Ranch continues the legacy of “Golf As It Was Meant to Be” on the Pacific Coast.
