Private charter to & from Bandon

Bandon is a small town at the mouth of the Coquille River on the southern Oregon coast, known for dramatic sea stacks, a historic Old Town on the harbor and the cranberry bogs that surround it. For golfers, though, Bandon means one thing: Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, a collection of walking-only links courses on the bluffs and dunes north of town that ranks among the most celebrated golf destinations in the world. The resort, along with tourism, fishing, cranberries and second homes, drives the local economy.

Bandon’s remoteness is part of its appeal and its main challenge. It is roughly a five-hour drive from Portland, and the nearest airline service is in North Bend, about 20 miles north. Flying private lets you land at Bandon State Airport, just south of town, or Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, and be on the first tee the same day. Golf groups can arrive together, play several rounds and fly home without losing a day to the highway. Beyond golf, visitors come for beachcombing at Face Rock, crab and fish and chips in Old Town, and the lighthouses and state parks along this rugged coast.
