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.

Challenge on the coast

Played this track for the first time. It meanders through the coastal hills. A lot of elevation changes, blind shots, and trouble. Course is in early good condition and very playable.

Challenging layout in poor condition

This is the second time playing this course in about 6 months and sadly, the conditions have turned from average to poor. The fairways are plastered with bald spots making these "mogul" fairways even tougher. It's like hitting a good tee shot and landing in a divot. The front 9 fairways are lined with very intimidating houses where a slice or hook tee shot will most certainly hit them so hit em straight...

No attention to details

No cooler, so no water.. No water on the course. Snack bar closed at the turn (around 5pm). No time to go to restaurant with groups paired pretty tight. Service there wasn’t all that fast, especially with orders taken downstairs when bar is upstairs. Just not thought out well.

Don even remember seeing ball washers.

It was a beautiful day to play golf though. Interesting layout, especially the back 9.

Always enjoy playing golf with an ocean view

We have always enjoyed Bodega, but this time we felt the course condition had really suffered. The greens were ok but very wet and spongy, the bunkers were very poorly maintained with very little sand and lots of weeds, we also felt some of the aprons around the greens were not very playable. It looks like they are expanding some of the false fronts so those areas were pretty inconsistent. Otherwise, the final three hole routing is always wonky and really don’t like the finishing hole. #15 would make a much better finish.

I wasn’t a fan of hole 16 and 17

I wasn’t fond of carrying my bag for 16 and 17 as I didn’t have a strap on my bag, so I only took a couple of clubs that I thought I would use. The greens were very tough, but expected this as we were warned they were working on them. Wonderful time, will be back!

It was really windy and chilly. Bring warm layers! The last 3 holes are very strange! You have to leave your cart and bring your clubs and valuables to play 16&17. Easy holes so don’t need too many clubs. 18 has a strange layout if you’ve never played it before.
