Hole No. 6
Pacific Dunes
Bandon, Oregon
13th hole; par 4, 444 yards
The youngest hole on our Dream 18 dates to 2001, but fits so majestically into the terrain that it looks a century older. Architect Tom Doak routed this hole into the prevailing wind, so on many days the par of 4 is a joke. A gigantic natural dune flanks the fairway to the right, while the Pacific Ocean looms below the cliffs on the left. Scattered blown-out bunkers lend add more beauty and menace on the right side. With distractions and hazards a-plenty, Doak crafted a deep, modestly elevated green to give you a fighting chance at par.
