Shorty's, the new 19-hole short course\u2014designed by the team of Rod Whitman, Dave Axland, and Keith Cutten\u2014is located between the opening holes of Bandon Trails and the ocean to the west. Paired with a unique routing unlike any other on property, the incredible site winds you through rolling natural dunes and scattered shore pines as far as the eye can see.  <br><br>Honoring Mike's close friendship with Shorty Dow, the first caretaker and self appointed \"governor, mayor, and sheriff\" of Bandon Dunes, Shorty's, along with it's neighboring links, Bandon Preserve, will again be a 'course with a mission,' directly funding the Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation's grant-making efforts on the Southern Oregon Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\">\u201cWORDS DON'T REALLY DO THE SITE JUSTICE.<br>IT HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL.\u201d<br>\u2014 Mike Keiser<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"align-wrap align-wrap-full\">\n<section id=\"parallax-wrapper-id-block_15a3a2b30c2327a40ec9e2c09b27eb2c\" class=\"parallax-wrapper parallax-height-tall center-half\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Shortys-Number1-scaled.jpg');\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3840\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/top-border-torn-paper-fffcef.png\" class=\"gcom-parallax-border-top\" alt=\"Torn paper decorative border, color #fffcef\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/top-border-torn-paper-fffcef.png 3840w, https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/top-border-torn-paper-fffcef-300x21.png 300w, https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/top-border-torn-paper-fffcef-1024x70.png 1024w, https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/top-border-torn-paper-fffcef-768x53.png 768w, https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/top-border-torn-paper-fffcef-1536x106.png 1536w, https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/top-border-torn-paper-fffcef-2048x141.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3840px) 100vw, 3840px\" \/>    <div class=\"parallax-text-wrapper fg-white\">\n                        <div class=\"parallax-text fade-in unconstrained\" data-speed=\"1000\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/group-2.svg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1359 aligncenter\" role=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/group-2.svg\" alt=\"Course Preview\" width=\"488\" height=\"154\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>                    <div class=\"cta-wrapper\">\n                                    <a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/coursepreview.golf\/shortys\/?hole=1\" target=\"_blank\">Launch Preview<\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"74\" src=\"https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/border-bottom-off-white.png\" class=\"gcom-parallax-border-bottom\" alt=\"Torn paper bottom border in off-white\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/border-bottom-off-white.png 1920w, https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/border-bottom-off-white-300x12.png 300w, https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/border-bottom-off-white-1024x39.png 1024w, https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/border-bottom-off-white-768x30.png 768w, https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/border-bottom-off-white-1536x59.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"align-wrap align-wrap-full\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.row-checkered-slider .flexslider .flex-direction-nav .flex-prev:before { content: url(https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/themes\/bandon-dunes\/assets\/images\/gallery-arrow-left.png);
