What golf costs (resort guests, 2026 and 2027)
Bandon publishes the same resort-guest green fees for 2026 and 2027, by month:
| Month | 18 holes | Same-day replay |
|---|---|---|
| January | $130 | $65 |
| February | $175 | $87.50 |
| March | $225 | $112.50 |
| April | $260 | $130 |
| May | $340 | $170 |
| June – September | $375 | $187.50 |
| October | $340 | $170 |
| November | $225 | $112.50 |
| December | $130 | $65 |
Notional rates based on published pricing; subject to change. Check with the resort before booking.
- Replay rate is half the 18-hole rate and applies only to an individual's second round on the same day. It doesn't apply to the Preserve or Shorty's.
- Bandon Preserve and Shorty's are priced separately: $115 in May and $125 June through September for resort guests. Net profits from both go to the Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation.
- Day guests (not staying at the resort) pay more, for example $390 in May, and can book golf-only tee times for April through mid-November more than 21 days ahead.
- Caddies are $125 per bag per round plus gratuity. A group caddie for four golfers is $40 per player.
- Juniors under 22 play free with a paying adult from Mother's Day weekend through July 31.
Worked example: green fees for the sample trip
The four-day schedule below, in May, as a resort guest: Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Old Macdonald and Sheep Ranch at $340 each, plus the Preserve at $115, is $1,475 in green fees per golfer. Add $125 plus tip per round for a caddie, and lodging. This is arithmetic on the published rates, not a quote.
A sample four-day itinerary (group of 8)
- Thursday: arrive, afternoon round at Bandon Dunes, dinner.
- Friday: Pacific Dunes in the morning, Bandon Preserve in the afternoon.
- Saturday: Old Macdonald, then the Punchbowl before dinner.
- Sunday: Sheep Ranch, then head home.
Two tee times of four each round works for eight. Want to see what this looks like in the app? Watch the AI import a Bandon-style confirmation and see the sample trip recap.
Lodging
On-property lodging includes Chrome Lake, Round Lake, The Lodge, The Inn, Lily Pond and the Grove Cottages. The resort says it's taking lodging reservations through 2027, with 2028 dates allocated by drawing. Resort-guest green fees require staying on property.
Games for a Bandon trip
Because every course is walking only and the par-3 courses are made for big groups, Bandon trips suit a team cup with Nassaus in each foursome and a group-wide skins game on the Preserve. See golf trip games for 8, 12 or 16.
