Easy

The sixth hole at Bandon Dunes Resort's Pacific Dunes Course presents a deceptively strategic short par 4 that embodies the course's minimalist design philosophy. At just 316 yards, this straight hole tempts longer hitters to attack the pin, but the small, subtly contoured green demands precision over power. The absence of traditional hazards places the premium squarely on accuracy, as the intimate green complex punishes wayward approach shots with challenging recovery situations. Wind conditions off the Pacific can dramatically alter club selection, making course management crucial. This hole perfectly captures Pacific Dunes' reputation for strategic simplicity, where every shot requires thoughtful execution despite the seemingly straightforward layout.
