Golf Bandon Dunes: Bandon Dunes is true to the spirit of Scotland’s ancient links. Six distinct links courses have been conceived in harmony with the natural environment. They combine with all the essential elements to reveal a new golf experience every time you play. The soul of the game resides here. Players walk. And at the end of the day, players relax in the comfort of our welcoming cottages.

Circles in the Sand: Labyrinth artist, Denny Dyke first created Circles in the Sand for his own walking meditations. He soon became fascinated with the ocean and the ever-changing sand. After three years and hundreds of labyrinths later, the first Dreamfield Labyrinth was created in September 2014. The path of the first Dreamfield meandered through seven spirals and returned near the entrance. Today the Dreamfields have grown larger with a path meandering through a much larger pattern. Always with one path, no dead ends or no wrong turns and returning home. A true labyrinth experience on the sand.
