Hole 10 at Bandon Dunes Resort (Bandon Trails Course)
Par 4 • 418 Yards • Bandon, Oregon
The 10th hole at Bandon Dunes Resort's Bandon Trails Course presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. This 418-yard test features a straight layout through the coastal forest, where towering trees frame the fairway and create a natural corridor that rewards accuracy from the tee. The absence of traditional hazards shifts focus to course management and club selection, as the small green becomes the primary defense. Players must navigate the tree-lined fairway with a controlled tee shot, setting up an approach that requires touch and precision to find the compact putting surface. The hole's understated elegance exemplifies Bandon Trails' philosophy of strategic golf through natural terrain, making it a memorable mid-round challenge that separates thoughtful play from aggressive attempts.

Target the center of the fairway with a driver or 3-wood, as you have plenty of room with the fairway measuring 70 yards wide at the 200-yard mark. This leaves you with an ideal approach distance for most golfers.
Longer hitters can be aggressive off the tee, as the fairway actually widens to 78 yards at the 250-yard mark, providing even more room for a full driver swing.
Plan your approach to this generous green that measures 44 yards deep by 38 yards wide (10,351 sq ft total), allowing for aggressive pin-hunting with mid to short irons from most tee shot positions.
Be aware of bunkers positioned at 380.9 yards from the tee - while most golfers won't reach them, very long hitters should consider club selection to avoid running through the fairway into trouble.
At 418 yards total length, most golfers will have a comfortable mid-iron approach shot after a good drive, making this an excellent scoring opportunity on this par 4.
This 418-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
