Bandon Crossings Golf Course begins with a relatively flat and open layout and climbs the scale of difficulty by the middle of the front nine. As the course heads toward the hills, the terrain naturally takes shape, offering a mix of elevation change and sloped fairways. The layouts also begin to narrow a bit, as trees become a factor and the tilted terrain minimize probable landing zones. Bandon Crossings features several wetland areas which are rare to non-existent on the resort courses, and on a couple occasions, these hazards traverse affront the greens to consume short approach shots. The biggest challenge at Bandon Crossings lies not in one specific feature, but a thorough combination of elements. While there are no dunes or sandy expanses, a wealth of traps line most of the fairways and are plotted aside many of the greens. These bunkers are relatively managable compared to the daunting designs and placement that are common to the resort traps. The greens are well-kept and offer a pure roll amid average to strong contours.
