Par 4 • 444 Yards • Bandon, Oregon

Enhanced Content

Tough

The second-most difficult hole at Bandon Dunes Resort's Pacific Dunes Course, this 444-yard par 4 demands precision from tee to green. With its deceptively straightforward layout hugging the Oregon coastline, the 13th presents a stern test where wind direction becomes paramount to club selection and strategy. The generous fairway invites aggressive driving, but the small, subtly contoured green requires pinpoint accuracy on the approach shot. Ocean breezes can transform what appears to be a manageable mid-iron into a demanding long iron, making course management essential. This quintessential links-style hole epitomizes Pacific Dunes' reputation for strategic golf, where thoughtful play trumps pure power in the coastal elements.
