Enhanced Content

Challenging

The 15th at Bandon Dunes Resort's Bandon Trails Course presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that epitomizes the course's thoughtful inland design. At 406 yards, this straight hole demands precision over power, with its small green serving as the primary defense. The tee shot plays to a generous fairway that allows players to find their rhythm, but the approach shot reveals the hole's true character. The compact green complex requires accurate iron play, as missing the putting surface leaves challenging recovery shots. With no significant hazards to distract, golfers can focus purely on execution and course management. This hole rewards strategic thinking and solid fundamentals, making it a perfect example of how Bandon Trails challenges players through subtle design rather than overwhelming obstacles.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway maintaining a generous 80 yards of width at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, focus on accuracy over distance. A controlled driver or 3-wood to the 220-240 yard range sets up the ideal approach angle.

approach

From 160-180 yards out, target the center of this moderately-sized green measuring 30 by 34 yards. The green's 4,965 square feet provides decent margin for error, but precise distance control is key.

hazard warning

Beware of bunkers positioned at 417 yards - well beyond the green on this 406-yard par 4. These likely protect a back pin position or catch errant long approaches, so club down if the pin is back.

green

The green's rectangular shape (30x34 yards) means different club selections depending on pin position. Use the extra 4 yards of depth to your advantage when the pin is front or back.
