The Best Golf Shoes for Walking Bandon Dunes: A Two-Pair System

There is no cart path at Bandon Dunes. There is no cart. You walk, with a caddie or with your own bag on your back, and if the weather turns you walk in it. Thirty-six holes in a day is normal. Across four days that is close to thirty miles on firm fescue, through dune grass, up and down ground that never once lies flat.

Which makes footwear the single piece of equipment most likely to ruin the trip, and the one most people think about last. You will agonize over which wedges to bring and then throw in whatever shoes are by the back door.
