Bandon Dunes golf resort in Bandon, Ore., will host the 2011 women’s and men’s U.S. Amateur Public Links championships.
The United States Golf Association (USGA) says it is the first time the two events for public course players will be held jointly. The tournaments will be held June 27-July 2, 2011.
Three courses, Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes and Bandon Trails, currently make up the scenic resort on Oregon’s southern coastline (see “24-Hour Detail at Bandon Dunes,” C&RB, September 2005). Another course, Old McDonald, is scheduled to open next year at the property, which is managed by KemperSports.
The USGA did not announce which courses will be used for the 2011 event.
Bandon Dunes also hosted the 2006 Curtis Cup, an international women’s team competition.
