The remote Nebraska dunes course that launched the modern minimalist movement. A pilgrimage for purists who can wrangle the invitation to the middle of nowhere.
A 13-hole par-3 course with full ocean views whose proceeds fund coastal conservation. The most fun you can have in an hour and a half of golf.
The inland counterpoint to Bandon's ocean links, traveling through dunes, forest, and meadow. Coore and Crenshaw's variety makes it many regulars' quiet favorite.
The newest big course at Bandon, with nine greens perched on the bluff edge and over a mile of coastline. No bunkers, no shelter, just you and the Pacific wind.
Coore and Crenshaw carved this out of old phosphate-mining land, and it plays like windswept links 70 miles from any ocean. Rolling fairways, wild greens, and not a house in sight.
A Coore and Crenshaw walk through untouched Sonoran Desert with not a single home in sight. The minimalist routing feels like golf the way the land intended it.
