The Links At Bodega Harbour
About
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.

Poor maintenance
Greens were very good. Course has lots of elevation change and helpful to have someone know the course (e.g best to use short irons off some tees). Fairways and rough were not great. Course appears to be in decline
Weather is major factor
Bodega Harbour can be compared to many of the courses on the Northern & Central California Coastline. It is a beautiful, scenic ocean front course. It is challenging for all intermediate level golfers and very well maintained. The staff is always helpful and friendly. If the winds remain light to moderate a round at Bodega Harbour is delightful. More severe winds can greatly reduce the enjoyment.
Friendly staff, fun course, good value.
Worth a trip to the coast. Last three holes are memorable. Staff very welcoming.
Best CA Coast Value
Course was in great shape. Great scenery and wildlife. Cart recommended because you still get to walk a fun two-hole stretch at 16-17. A bit too much OB for my liking with so many houses lining the fairways but white tees allow you to hit shorter clubs to keep it in play. Challenging around the greens and many uneven fairway lies. (Don't try full shots from those lies since you probably never practice them!) Catch the downslope off the tee at 9 and you can chip and putt for birdie like I did. Reluctant to call this such a tremendous value because I'm afraid they'll raise the price! ;)
Ocean views at a discount price
Bang for the buck this is one of the best courses in Northern California. Almost every hole has sweeping ocean views. It’s a beautiful course which maintains nice fairways and terrific greens. The elements are part of the challenge on this Links style course. Wind can be tough so hope for the best. Putts break towards the ocean. Pictures don’t do it justice.
Best Course In Sonoma County?
Bodega is an excellent test of your golf skills. The greens are very fast and undulating and 2 putts are not a given. The wind always plays a factor - especially on the back nine where holes 13-15 play directly into the wind which ranges from 10-30 mph. Conversely, many of the other holes have a helping wind - or a cross breeze. The views of Bodega Bay are really amazing. The course is not overly long but that is tempered by the wind and the long rough along most of the holes. I've played this course at least 15 times int he last year and will keep going back even though it has gotten more expensive and crowded. The increased number of golfers may have scared the local bobcats away - haven't them in awhile. Plenty of other wildlife though.
Sunday Round
The sand traps are as inconsistent as any course I have ever played. Some are fluffy some like the parking lot with plants growing. a real joke
Good fun course.
Bodega’s a really good links course, with good variation in holes. It’s kept up well and reasonably priced.
First visit in '22
Course was in excellent condition as it usually is, enjoyed playing the course in perfect winter weather. Looking forward to returning soon.
Great day
Course in real good shape
Weather was unbelievable for January
