Hole 14 at Bandon Dunes Resort (Bandon Trails Course)
Par 4 • 325 Yards • Bandon, Oregon
At 325 yards, Bandon Dunes Resort (Bandon Trails Course) hole 14 presents a deceptively strategic par 4 that exemplifies the course's inland forest character. This straight-away hole threads through towering pines and native vegetation, creating a corridor that demands accuracy over distance. The absence of traditional hazards shifts focus to precision placement, as the tree-lined fairway punishes wayward shots with difficult recovery angles.
The small green complex becomes the hole's primary defense, requiring a carefully calculated approach shot that must navigate the natural terrain. Smart golfers often favor position over power off the tee, setting up an optimal angle for the demanding second shot. This hole rewards course management and strategic thinking over brute force.

This short par-4 offers a strategic choice off the tee. With the hole measuring only 325 yards, consider laying up with a mid-iron to the generous landing area, leaving a comfortable wedge approach to the green.
The fairway maintains a consistent 80-yard width at both the 200 and 250-yard markers, providing ample room for accuracy over distance. Focus on finding the short grass rather than maximum distance.
Beware of the bunker positioned at 313 yards - just 12 yards short of the green. Aggressive drivers who try to get close to this pin-high bunker risk finding sand with little room for recovery.
The green measures 20 yards by 25 yards (2,819 sq ft), making it a moderately-sized target. Pin position will dictate club selection, but most approaches from the fairway will be short irons or wedges.
With green dimensions of 20x25 yards, there's decent room for error on approach shots. However, the compact size means precise distance control is key - avoid being long or short as recovery options may be limited.
This 325-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.
