New classic golf course built high above the Pacific.

This is golf heaven on earth. Five 18 hole immaculate golf courses plus a 13 hole par three plus a free par three course. We stayed at the lodge overlooking the golf course. There are many restaurants within the resort the food was incredible every time we ate. Every single employee offered incredible service. If you are a dedicated golfer I cannot recommend this experience enough.

Bandon State Park was a very peaceful place to spend a morning. The sea stacks of Devil's Kitchen were especially interesting from a photographic perspective, and I found myself truly enjoying wandering along the beach with my camera. If you are in the area, Bandon Beach State Park is definitely worth a visit.

A secret gem of an activity in the quaint little town of Bandon Oregon. An all volunteer team, under the direction of a fantastic man named Denny. They create a labyrinth to walk through (about a half mile) in the sand at low tide among the most beautiful setting on the southern Oregon Coast. Get there early to watch them create and explore the caves and tide pools around. If you want to volunteer to help rake, you can sign up on their website: sandypathbandon.com or on their FB page. It truly is amazing and a wonderful experience. We stayed in old town at the Bandon Inn. Get a top room for a better view and you won’t hear others above you. Another fantastic activity is crabbing off the pier. Rent everything from Tony’s Crab Shack. Then have them clean & cook the delicious crab and eat them right there feet away from catching them. It’s quite the experience.

My family of four two adults, two teenage girls on vacation in Bandon: We are not all great golfers. Two were good. The young man at the counter was super nice and helpful. We made reservations a day in advance in person. On the 2nd hole the manager came out and moved us to the back end of the course which was perfect so we could play without bothering anyone. In addition to that he gave us two buckets of range balls. Even though it was not his fault we were not great golfers, he did everything he could to accommodate us and the great golfers. We had a really good time, and could not have been treated better. We aren't fancy people, but we saved up and this was a real treat for us.

Guided horseback beach rides for beginners ages 6 and up. Rides are 90% beach and go out at 10, 12, 2, 4 and 6pm after daylight savings.

My husband and I went horseback riding through this company. They thoughtfully paired us with horses that matches our sizes and experience, took the time to train us how to show the horse where to move and stop and speed up and gave interesting information along the ride. Scott took lots of photos of us on the horses at the turn around point. Considering how many dangerous things could happen, Scott did an excellent job of keeping novices safe on horses, both from our inexperience and from dogs and tourists on the beach that could spook the horses. They do an impressive job.
8. Bandon Preserve Golf Course

Bandon Preserve is one of 5 golf courses at the Bandon OR Golf Resort. It's a 13 hole par 3 course that winds down and up from the Pacific Ocean. The views are spectacular. Although it's a very short course, there are a lot of tough holes if you're not a reasonably straight hitter. If you've never played this course before, it's highly recommended that you review the hole-by-hole golf tips on their website, which tell you how each hole plays and where best to target your tee shots. Carefully look for the signs pointing to each tee box and green as it can be confusing which way to hit on a few holes. The only thing we didn't like about the course is that there are two tee yardages on the golf card but in fact there are 3 to 4 tee markers on every hole and many of them are not lined up with the printed yardages. You can use your yardage scope but the course is not on GPS satellite. Otherwise, it's well worth playing this course, especially since all of the proceeds are donated to charity.
