Bandon Crossings Golf Course in Oregon is making a name for itself

BANDON, Ore. -- Bandon Crossings Golf Course, located along the southern coast of Oregon, isn't affiliated with the famous Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.

But Bandon Crossings, located about 10 miles away from Bandon Dunes down Highway 101, is making a name for itself.

Designed in 2005 by Dan Hixson, Bandon Crossings was named one of the top 10 new courses in 2007 by Golf Magazine. Built on ancient sand dunes, the course has exceptional drainage, and the undulations make each hole unique.

There are also stay-and-play golf packages in one of the vacation home options, including one at the driving range and two overlooking the ocean.
