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.

Gratitude for Bodega Bay Links

It was a moment in time! The enjoyment the views and the weather couldn’t of been better!

The camaraderie with the twosome we were paired with. Spending time with my husband who enjoys golf and can appreciate the game as he has Caddied in the PGA professional tour!

No me that’s a different story. I have a 33 handicap the best part of the whole course was me being able to hit the ball over the lagoon a number 16 and 17. Looking forward to the next time I can play the link at the Bodega Bay!

Used cart

Worth the play if you're in the area.

it was my first time playing the course. overall a good play. a little slow on pace of play. It's one of those courses that you need to play a few times to understand where to hit your shots and where to NOT hit your shots.

Great views of the bay.

Give it a go.

Fun layout, but pace too slow to enjoy.

Great layout. Greens/course in great condition. Would really enjoy playing it at a decent pace. Waiting 5-10 minute per shot was a serious drag on enjoyment. Might try again if I can grab an early or midweek tee time.

Challenging links course

Fog first 3 holes then wind picked up to 2+clubs. Great views of bay. Few blind tee shots. Short yardage at blue tees 5892 that should be rated higher than 124.

Enjoy

I wish they would put a marshal at 16th tee to get people moving along. It is always really backed up there.

I love the course and staff is really nice.

Beautiful Views

This was my first time playing the course. The views were spectacular and the course was in great shape. It was challenging yet extremely beautiful with ocean views from at least half of the holes.
