Enhanced Content

Tough

The 11th at Bandon Dunes Resort's Bandon Trails Course presents a deceptively challenging par 5 that embodies the rugged beauty of Oregon's coastline. At 445 yards, this straight-away hole may seem short by modern standards, but the small green demands precision over power. The generous fairway invites aggressive tee shots, yet the real test comes with the approach to the compact putting surface. Without significant hazards to frame the hole, golfers must rely on course management and shot execution rather than avoiding trouble. The intimate green complex rewards those who can dial in their distance control, making this a memorable risk-reward proposition where strategic thinking trumps brute force in classic Bandon fashion.
