Every Course at Bandon
For most golfers, a trip to Bandon Dunes is years in the making. Tee sheets vanish months in advance, itineraries are painstakingly pieced together, and even the most determined planners often fall short of playing every course. In May 2026, the Broken Tee Society removes every barrier, handing 20 members the ultimate Bandon itinerary—seven courses in five days, lodging on-site, elegant dining and every detail handled.
From Old Macdonald’s sweeping quirk to Pacific Dunes’ rugged coastline, from the intimate brilliance of Trails, Preserve and Shorty’s to the wild edges of Sheep Ranch and the OG Dunes, this is the complete Bandon experience, with every detail considered so all that’s left is the golf. Four nights, five days, six-plus rounds across every course that makes Bandon the game’s modern pilgrimage. All you need to do is show up, lace up, and walk down golf’s dreamscape.

Trip Itinerary
Thursday, May 7
Arrival + Old Mac
Arrive at Bandon Dunes Resort and check in by 4:00 p.m. For those arriving earlier, tee times on Old Macdonald run from 1:00–1:40 p.m., kicking off the trip with bold slopes and your first glimpse of the famed ghost tree.
Friday, May 8
Preserve + Pac Dunes
Open with a morning loop at Bandon Preserve (7:00–8:00 a.m.), the par-3 course that sets the tone for creativity and camaraderie. Then take on Pacific Dunes (10:20–11:00 a.m.), Tom Doak’s windswept masterpiece perched on the cliffs.
Saturday, May 9
Shorty’s + Bandon Dunes
A doubleheader of the oldest and newest courses at Bandon. Ease into the day with an early round at Shorty’s (7:00–8:15 a.m.), a quick walk full of fun shots and ocean air. The late morning brings Bandon Dunes (10:50–11:30 a.m.), where the resort began: timeless links golf on a rugged stretch of Oregon coast.
Sunday, May 10
Trails + Ranch
The morning belongs to Bandon Trails (8:40–9:20 a.m.), a journey from dunes to meadows to forest, and arguably Bandon’s most varied test. In the afternoon, tee it up at Sheep Ranch (2:30–3:10 p.m.), with its cliffside greens, bunkerless fairways, and views that stretch forever.
Monday, May 11
Trails + Ranch
The trip closes with breakfast and optional tee times at Sheep Ranch (7:00–7:20 a.m.) or Bandon Trails (7:10–7:20 a.m.). If you’ve got a later flight, soak in one last morning walk, one last putt, and a farewell to the ultimate Bandon experience.

How will I be notified?

Sign up for text alerts to be notified first about event selections here.
How many spots can I purchase?
You may purchase up to four spots.
Does my guest have to be a member?
Yes, all guests must be active Premium TGJ members. The best way to bring a non-member guest is to gift them a Premium TGJ membership.
Can I stay off-site during the event?
No. Due to resort restrictions and group booking requirements, all guests must stay on property to participate in the event. This ensures a seamless experience for all attendees and supports the event’s contractual obligations with the host venue.
If you have special circumstances, please reach out to events@golfersjournal.com before booking.
Can I attend as a single?
Absolutely. Nearly half of all event attendees join solo, so you’ll be in good company—whether you’re bringing a friend or looking to meet new ones.
Lodging is based on double occupancy (two queen beds per room). A limited number of single occupancy rooms may become available closer to the event, and we’ll do our best to accommodate requests.
If you have any questions about rooming or pairings, feel free to reach out to events@golfersjournal.com.
Is Single Occupancy an Option?
Yes—single occupancy may become available if Bandon Dunes releases additional rooms.
Currently, all lodging is based on double occupancy (two guests per room), but we expect that a limited number of single rooms may open up closer to the event. These will be offered for an additional fee, based on resort availability.
Let us know if you’d like to be added to the single occupancy waitlist.
Are caddies available?
Yes, following registration, you’ll have the opportunity to request a caddie for one or more rounds—and can even name a preferred caddie if you have someone in mind.
Walking Caddie
- $100 per bag, per round
Forecaddie (shared group caddie):
- 4 players: $40 per player
- 3 players: $50 per player
- 2 players: $60 per player
Caddie fees are paid directly at the course and do not include gratuity.
Can I request to be paired with another twosome?
If you have another person or team you’d like to be grouped with, please submit the request on the Event Profile form on the Players Room following your purchase.
Are There Handicap or Skill Requirements?
Players of all skill levels are welcome. All we ask is that you:
- Respect the game and your fellow players
- Keep up with the group ahead
- Have fun
We will use a double-bogey max scoring format to keep pace moving and rounds enjoyable.
If you’d like to compete in the Net Division, you’ll need an active GHIN or other accredited handicap.
