“On a recent walk reviewing the routing for the new Par 3, I was inspired by my first memory of meeting Shorty Dow. Everyone knows of the vista near 14 tee on Bandon Trails where Shorty first took our group, but he also hiked us along the Ridge Trail to tour a location where I could have a clear view of the dunes that lay underneath all the encroaching gorse. Looking out over the same set of dunes on that recent walk I thought, ‘This is the land that Shorty would want to oversee.’” —Mike Keiser.

Designed by Rod Whitman, Dave Axland and Keith Cutten, Shorty’s will sit on a heaving landscape of dunes and pines between the first hole of Bandon Trails and the ocean, with holes ranging in length from 60 to 160 yards, and water views from multiple tees and greens.
