Hole 2 at Bandon Dunes Resort (Bandon Trails Course)

Par 3 • 214 Yards • Bandon, Oregon

Enhanced Content

Brutal

Bandon Trails' second hole presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that embodies the course's rugged coastal character. From the elevated tee, golfers face a 214-yard carry to a small, well-protected green that demands precision over power. The absence of major hazards might suggest an easier approach, but the green's compact size and subtle undulations create their own strategic puzzle. Wind conditions, typical of Oregon's dramatic coastline, can dramatically alter club selection and shot trajectory. The hole rewards accurate iron play and punishes overconfidence, as missing the putting surface leaves difficult recovery shots. This straightforward yet demanding par 3 perfectly captures Bandon Trails' philosophy of strategic golf in a spectacular natural setting.
