The Links at Bodega Harbour is conveniently situated along the Sonoma County Coast, only an hour from San Francisco and two hours from Sacramento. Its location perched above the Pacific also provides stunning ocean views. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.in 1978, the back nine was the original course before the front nine was added nine years later. Jones designed a traditional Scottish links layout complete with rolling fairways and fast, undulating greens. There are almost 100 bunkers strategically situated throughout as well as thick patches of native coastal rough that are just waiting to swallow even slightly errant shots. The golf course is not long but it requires both skill and strategy. The final three holes are not only the most challenging, they also boast the most breathtaking views.

Hidden gem on the ocean

Wow! This course was a blast! Unbelievable ocean and bay views on almost every hole. A little tight with houses on both sides to start, but fair. First four holes pretty tough, but enjoyable. We played on a golf now hot deal, but this course is worth over $100 just for the lay out. Staff was great, explaining the environment sensitive area on two holes. Can’t say enough about being able to play holes along the ocean views. Really cool course, we were traveling wine country, an it was well worth the 1 hour drive. Thanks for a great time.

Greens Too Slow

Appears that thatch is building up on greens. You can rub your hand against the grain and see that the grass is longer than it should be and pressed down. Need to de-thatch greens and get the speed up. Uphill putts and putts against the grain were very very slow. Otherwise the course is great. Course plays longer than its yardage because fairways are very soft and you get no roll out off of drives.

Great time beautiful day!

Tee boxes good. Fairways good. Bunkers great. Greens good. Fun and challenging layout. Only complaint would be if u dont stay in the fairway u can lose ur ball very easily. Also no range is a bummer. But this place overall is awesome!

Beautiful views!

Great views of the ocean and awesome layout! Fairways were in great condition and greens ran true. Teed off at 9:40a in January and took off my jacket & vest by hole 3. It was a perfectly sunny day. Weekday fees are $82 & weekend fees are $112. I’m a veteran and they offer military discounts. My fees on MLK day were $67. This is easily a $100 course & I would’ve been happy to pay that. Holes 16 & 17 are really unique layouts & picture worthy. Can’t wait to get back & play this course again.

Windy, tough lies, blind tee shots.

Greens are good but fairways are mounded and choppy, rough is weedy and balls are too easily lost. Hilly, blind tee shots to chunky hard lie fairway’s. Wind gusts to 40 mph make the course nearly unplayable in the afternoon.

Nice views.
