Pacific Dunes is part of the Bandon Dunes golf resort located in Oregon. The course is consistently ranked high on the world top 100 and I would definitely agree that it is a superb golf experience. See my reviews on Bandon Trails, Bandon Dunes and Old Macdonald
Hole 1
The first hole at Pacific Dunes is forgiving from the tee and only playing 278m. Avoid the bunkers on the left should setup a good approach shot.
HOLE 2
The second hole is another par 4 measuring 306 meters. Well placed bunkers in the fairway. You start to get a view of the ocean in the background.
HOLE 3
3rd hole is a great par 5 measuring 435 meters. Wide fairway with bunkers in the middle to avoid. Decision to be made from the tee on which direction to take. I hit my tee shot on the right hand side of the bunkers and laid up. Made par.
HOLE 4
Pacific Dunes 4th hole is one of my favourite holes on the course. The views are just amazing. I hit my tee shot over the left hand bunkers and made par.
HOLE 5
HOLE 7
Hole 7 at Pacific Dunes is a stunning par 4. I missed my tee shot to the right which made it difficult to reach the green. Made bogey.
HOLE 9
BACK NINE ON PACIFIC DUNES
HOLE 10
HOLE 11

The 12th is a par 5. Did not play the hole well. Had a lost ball in the bushes and made double.

HOLE 14
HOLE 17
Hole 17th at Pacific Dunes is a long par 3 with deep bunkers on the left hand side of the green. I missed the green and made bogey.
MY EXPERIENCE
Pacific Dunes is one of my top experiences. I really enjoyed the course and we had amazing weather conditions. It is understandable that this course is highly rated with so many spectacular holes. My favourite is #4. I played well on the front nine, but really poorly on the back nine. Will be back to beat the score of 81.
