We at Bandon Dunes Resort are thrilled to host our annual Bandon Solstice celebration, an event that epitomizes the passion and endurance of dedicated golf enthusiasts. This unique event, held on the beautiful southeastern coast of Oregon, offers participants the chance to play 72 holes over the course of the longest day of the year.
Event Details: Sunrise to Sunset Golf Experience
The Bandon Solstice kicks off with early tee times beginning at 5:25 a.m., aligning perfectly with the magical sunrise at Bandon. As the day unfolds, golfers will embark on a marathon challenge, playing rounds at four of our top-rated courses: Bandon Dunes, Bandon Trails, Old MacDonald, and Sheep Ranch, each acclaimed as top 100 U.S. courses. This full day of golf spans from the early morning twilight through to a picturesque sunset around 9 p.m., providing an unparalleled golfing journey.
Course Rotation and Format
Participants will enjoy a strategic rotation across the four courses, starting their journey at different points but ultimately experiencing the distinct character of each course. The event fosters a brisk pace of play, historically completing each round in about three hours and fifteen minutes, facilitating a seamless 72-hole experience.
Additional Event Perks
Aside from the thrill of the game, we cater to our golfers from start to finish. The day begins with a nourishing breakfast buffet at 4:30 a.m., ensuring all participants are fueled and ready. A hearty lunch awaits after the second round, with mid-round refreshments available to keep energy levels high. After completing the intense day, golfers can relax and share their experiences during a casual dinner and possibly enjoy a friendly ‘E9’ putting contest on our Punchbowl putting course.

Understanding the physical demands of playing multiple rounds, we provide comprehensive caddie services. Each caddie handles two bags for 36 holes before being swapped out, keeping them fresh and attentive. This not only enhances the playing experience but also provides substantial earnings for our dedicated caddies.
