How Does the New Reservation System Work?
With the golf world buzzing around this new pre-reservation system, here’s the scoop on how it works. Registration is divided into three windows:
- January to April 2026: You’ll want to get your registration in by December 22, 2024.
- May to September 2026: This window closes on January 19, 2025. Don’t miss out!
- October to December 2026: Be sure to register by April 20, 2025.
Once a registration window closes, a random drawing will determine the order of reservation requests. Selected golfers will be notified via email and contacted in the order they were drawn. Just a heads up: guests must pay a full deposit at the time of booking, so keep that in mind as you prepare.
Smoothing Out the Booking Process
This new system comes as a response to the high call volumes and lengthy wait times experienced during previous booking periods. The team at Bandon Dunes is always looking for ways to enhance your experience, making this new lottery-style system all the more exciting.
