Bandon, Oregon

Coore & Crenshaw's entry at Bandon Dunes Resort routes through ancient dunes, dense gorse, and coastal forest — the most varied terrain on the property. Walking only.

Nekoosa, Wisconsin

Coore & Crenshaw's 2017 design sits atop ancient lake bed sand, producing naturally firm, fast conditions across expansive fairways. The sandy soil and native fescue recall Scottish heathland, earning consistent top-20 public rankings.

Lahaina, Hawaii

Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore's 1991 design sweeps across Maui's volcanic ridges above the Pacific, with wide fairways and dramatic elevation changes. Annual host of the PGA Tour's Sentry Tournament of Champions.
