Connoisseurs Golf Transportation can take some of the sting out of getting to Bandon.
One of the things that makes the Bandon Dunes Resort the Bandon Dunes Resort is its remote location along the rugged, southern Oregon coast. However, though getting-away-from-it-all is what a Bandon Dunes golf vacation is all about, getting to it all can sometimes be a chore.
If saving time, not money, is your main concern, the best way to travel to a Bandon Dunes golf vacation is by chartered (Ocean Air Aviation) or private (Coos Aviation) plane, the latter which can land at the town of Bandon’s 3,600-foot airstrip, five minutes from the resort. For us mere mortals, the more likely scenario is flying into Portland, connecting to North Bend on Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air, then driving 30 minutes south.
If you prefer to minimize the amount of time you’re hovering perilously above the earth, or just hate flight connections, you can drive to Bandon Dunes from Portland, though the trip takes a solid four-and-a-half hours (two-and-a-half from Eugene Airport). One way to ease the sting is to have someone else do the driving on your Bandon Dunes golf vacation. Connoisseurs Golf Transportation specializes in baggage claim-to-Bandon service via a fleet of luxurious town cars, SUVs, vans and shuttles.
