Bandon Dunes (102L)The rugged coast of Southern Oregon is home to Bandon Dunes, a links-style resort set high on the bluffs above the Pacific and ranked among the Top 5 American public courses.
While you're there, meet legendary local caddie Wyatt Earp (J.K.Wyatt), catch Dungeness crab and realize that sometimes golf shoes are expendable.
