Introducing the First-Ever GolfN Invitational at Bandon Dunes

You've asked, over and over again: when is the next GolfN event?

It's officially on the books, and we’re going big:

The GolfN Invitational at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort | October 21–25, 2026

About the destination

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort has been the top buddies trip destination in North America for over two decades. Five Top 100-ranked, walking-only 18-hole courses along the spectacular Oregon coastline. No matter how much more golf Bandon builds, the demand exceeds it. In fact, getting a stay-and-play package at Bandon in 2026 or 2027 on your own is nearly impossible. The resort now runs an annual lottery just like the Masters to award the coveted stay-and-play packages.

GolfN has secured exclusive access for an event this year: tee times and on-property accommodations not available through public booking channels.

If you've never been to Bandon, whoa boy, here’s a little context on what you're walking into.

The original Bandon Dunes course opened in 1999 and put the Oregon coast on the global golf map. What followed it: Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Old Macdonald, Sheep Ranch - as well as par-3 course Bandon Preserve. There was virtually no pure links golf in the U.S.A. before Bandon arrived. Now it goes toe-to-toe with any links golf destination on the planet.

Golf at Bandon is played on foot (caddies available), in the elements along the Pacific coastline. All the top magazines, Golf Digest, Golf Magazine, you name it, have ranked Bandon among the top golf destinations in the world consistently for years, and the courses themselves routinely appear on best-of lists alongside Augusta, Pebble, and St. Andrews.

The itinerary for the GolfN Invitational provides attendees with a comprehensive tour of the property. The schedule includes rounds at Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Old Macdonald, and the flagship Bandon Dunes course, plus an optional short course round at Bandon Preserve to start.

For those who've played Bandon before, you know what this lineup means. For those who haven't, this is as good an introduction to not only pure links golf, but the most spectacular golf in North America.

What's included:

• Four nights in single-occupancy luxury king rooms at the Inn, Lodge, or Round Lake
• Rounds at Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Old Macdonald, and Bandon Dunes — plus an optional short course round at Bandon Preserve
• Welcome dinner, prizes and tee gifts

A fifth night is available for those who want to extend. Airport transfers and caddies are also available.

Get ready for lots of fun and friendly competition throughout the week. The golf itinerary speaks for itself. But GolfN wouldn't show up to its first-ever event empty-handed. Attendees will have the chance to receive a custom, limited-edition L.A.B. Putter - available only to attendees of the first-ever GolfN Invitational.

How to register for the GolfN Invitational

Registration for GolfN members opens on April 7th. Space is extremely limited.

Spots open in membership tier order: Diamond members first, then Gold, then Silver.

Registration links and additional details will be emailed to eligible members on the day their tier opens, and you will have a short window to book before the next tier opens.

One Spot could be yours: Introducing GolfN Invitational Sweepstakes

One spot in the Invitational has been reserved for a sweepstakes winner. But this sweepstakes works differently from a standard GolfN sweepstakes.

This one is earned through activity.

Between April 8 and August 31, GolfN will track rounds played in the app and off-course activity, such as the Daily Grind. 9 holes = 1 entry. 18 holes = 2 entries. Play as much as you can between now and August 31st, and those will be your entries.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to approve the Terms and Conditions in the sweepstakes card for official entry. Your rounds don't start adding up until you accept Terms & Conditions.

You’ve asked for a GolfN event in 2026. Here it is, and it’s a big one. We look forward to seeing you there.
