Shorty's: Why Bandon's Newest Course Might Be the Most Fun You Have All Trip
Shorty's isn't the hardest course at Bandon-it's the one where the bets get loud, the aces feel possible, and the memories last longest.
There's no question in Mike Keiser's mind that the latest gem at Bandon Dunes is truly special. Shorty's, the new 19-hole short course - designed by the team of Rod Whitman, Dave Axland, and Keith Cutten - is located between the opening holes of Bandon Trails and the ocean to the west. Paired with a unique routing unlike any other on property, the incredible site winds you through rolling natural dunes and scattered shore pines as far as the eye can see.
Honoring Mike's close friendship with Shorty Dow, the first caretaker and self appointed "governor, mayor, and sheriff" of Bandon Dunes, Shorty's, along with it's neighboring links, Bandon Preserve, will again be a 'course with a mission,' directly funding the Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation's grant-making efforts on the Southern Oregon Coast.
