Old Bandon Golf Course
Old Bandon Golf Links is the former Bandon Face Rock Golf Course, presently leased and operated by Troy & Kim Russell. Troy, with his extensive golf course construction and maintenance experience, was called in the fall of 2008 to assist owners Margaret Miller and Jerry Brown in returning the course to playable condition, after having been closed 16 months. Out of that effort grew the idea to lease the course, which opened under the new name and management on March 21, 2009
Troy has a BS in Horticulture with emphasis in Turfgrass Management from Oregon State University, graduating in 1995. He was with the JR Simplot Company prior to his 10 years with Bandon Dunes, and has been on the construction team or acting project manager on numerous courses including the OGA Course at Tukwila, Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Tetherow, in Bend, OR and Wine Valley in Walla Walla, WA. His love of golf and turf management has led him to volunteer on many a major tournament maintenance crew; The PGA Championship at Sahalee CC; The US Open at Pebble Beach, Olympia Fields, Shinnecock Hills, Torrey Pines; The Open at St. Andrews Old Course, 2000 & 2005; Presidents Cup in S. Africa; Walker Cup at Chicago Golf Club; and the Curtis Cup at Bandon Dunes. He is presently President of the Northwest Turfgrass Association.

About our logo
Bandon’s Face Rock has been the local icon, complete with indian maiden legend, since before the formation of the town in the mid-1800’s. It is traditional for golf courses to use local regional geographic icons for their representation. To remain true to the history of the golf course and the region, we have the image of Face Rock coupled with two hickory shafted clubs, representing Old Bandon Golf Links. Face Rock Wayside is a State Park, located just north of our course on Beach Loop Drive.
