Episode Notes

In this week's Must Play, our Sheep Ranch review is front and center as we take a deep dive into one of the most visually dramatic courses at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort (and the world). This week, Shawn and T.J. are joined by Brian from Harbor Golf to break down the history, their favorite features, and overall experience of playing Sheep Ranch along the Oregon coast.

Sheep Ranch has quickly become one of the most recognizable courses in the US, thanks to its incredible cliffside routing and ocean views on nearly every hole. With nine greens directly along the Pacific, the course delivers some of the most memorable views in all of US golf. But in our Sheep Ranch review, we’re asking the bigger question: does the course live up to the hype?

Shawn lays out the history behind Sheep Ranch at Bandon Dunes, how the course evolved from a private property where you had to know someone to get on into a full public layout designed by Coore & Crenshaw.

As always on Must Play, we put the course through our 10-question Must Play Test, our grading rubric used to determine whether a course truly earns Must Play status. From value and food at the turn to the logo and memorable holes, every category helps answer the question golfers are searching for: BUT IS IT A MUST PLAY?

If you're planning a Bandon Dunes golf trip, our Sheep Ranch review will help you decide where it belongs on your list of Must Play courses at Bandon.

In this episode we discuss:

  • A full Sheep Ranch review at Bandon Dunes Resort

  • The history and design of Sheep Ranch

  • How Sheep Ranch compares to other Bandon Dunes golf courses

  • What makes Sheep Ranch unique among coastal golf courses

  • Our 10-question Must Play Test and final verdict
