What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bandon Crossings is widely praised as an exceptional value, offering a high-quality golf experience comparable to more expensive resorts. Visitors rave about the course's excellent condition, particularly its pure and fast greens, and the friendly, laid-back staff. While some negative experiences regarding lost items have been reported, the overwhelming sentiment is that this course is a hidden gem and a must-play for its affordability and enjoyable challenge.
"I have done a four day golf trip here with a group of 16 guys every year for approximately the last six years. The course is always phenomenal and the staff is amazing. They are kind and laid-back and it’s obvious they want you to have a great day. The course is in great shape and plays like a course that would cost you twice the price."
Darin Bradbury
"Decent course, just not decent people. We had two incidents on a recent trip that left a bad taste in our mouths. One of our guys left his wallet in the cart — went back the next morning and the money was gone except for a $2 bill. Really?
I also left my rangefinder and called to let them know I could see it because it had an AirTag on it. When I went back the next day, the AirTag had been removed and then reattached — you could still see the glue marks.
The course itself is fine, but not worth coming back to given how things are handled here."
Gene Stevens
"Honestly, here's the deal.....not only is this the best kept secret in Bandon, it is absolutely on par with any of the courses on the Bandon Dunes Resort. I have played several top public golf courses across the country including Wolf Creek, Sand Hollow, We-Ko-Pa, Arrowhead CC, Castle Pines, every Bandon Dunes course (with the exception of Old Macdonald), etc. and this course easily stacks up with the best around. Of course this place isn't Bandon Dunes, but it isn't try to be at all. The course is beautiful. Absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. The greens are some of the absolute purest I have ever played - and this was in February of last year AND March of this year. This course provides a thrilling amount of variety and difficulty. The staff is more than accommodating and an absolute pleasure. I'm not sure what this one-star rater below me is talking about. I'm afraid he may have played another course. I cannot state it enough, this course has it all and it is my absolute favorite in the area. PLEASE do yourself a favor and run this track before you leave town. It is truly an unforgettable experience."
