Course Overview
The fourth 18-hole course built at Bandon Dunes, this Tom Doak-Jim Urbina collaboration pays tribute to the Golden Age giant Charles Blair Macdonald, who himself was famed for paying tribute through his portfolio of template holes. The Redan. The Short. The Long. The Eden. Nods to all of these are on display, along with cap-tips to the Road Hole at St. Andrews and the Double Plateau green that Macdonald first employed at National Golf Links, on Long Island. For all its emulation, Old Macdonald leaves a unique impression, with deep, riveted bunkers and firm, fescue turf that make for as faithful an Old World experience as any public-access course in the United States.
