What Bandon Crossings does

Bandon Crossings is a privately held, single-location public golf course located 10 miles south of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort on the southern Oregon coast. The facility offers an 18-hole, par-72 heathland-style layout with five tees and seven playing lengths ranging from 4,169 to 6,855 yards (course rating 74.0/slope 139), designed by Dan Hixson and opened in 2007. The business is owned by Rex Smith and Carla Smith and operated under General Manager Brant Hathorn CGCS, with a small employee base of 11-50.

The company operates a diversified golf and hospitality revenue model anchored by per-round green fees ($73-$120 for 18 holes with cart, seasonal and twilight tiering), an equipment rental book, and a subscription layer comprising annual passes (individual, couples, cart-inclusive, Long Drive, Friday-only, and Junior tiers) and the $150/year Crossings Club membership. Adjacent verticals include golf instruction, multi-round value passes, group outings for 12-120 players, destination weddings at the Cypress Room (capacity up to 90), and Stay-and-Play packages distributed through BandonVistas (six vacation homes) and Sunset Oceanfront Lodging. Tee-time reservations are sold direct-to-consumer through the foreUP online booking platform and phone, with additional wedding lead flow sourced via WeddingWire and The Knot.

The customer base spans destination travelers, regional and local annual pass holders, organized groups (corporate outings, charity tournaments hosted by entities such as Bandon Rotary, Kiwanis, Southern Coos Hospital, Unsullied Golf, and Bandon Athletics), college and high school golf programs, and wedding clients. The course has accumulated sustained editorial recognition, including GOLF Magazine Top 10 new courses (2007) and Top 100 courses under $150, GolfAdvisor Golfers' Choice awards in 2020 and 2023, and endorsements from the Portland Oregonian, Matt Ginella, and Golflinks Magazine, which it leverages as a value-positioned complement to the walking-only, caddie-served Bandon Dunes resort experience.

Broad incumbents

• Pebble Beach Golf Links: Premier destination golf resort in Northern California with multiple courses, hotels, and event venues.
