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.

Challenging and fun

The course was challenging and creative. However, it was extra winding today which was hard to play in.

Great challenging windy course

I had a great time playing the course for the first time. Be prepared for windy weather conditions and bring extra layers. The course is hilly and with some challenging layout you don’t see on other golf courses. Overall the course was in great shape and with an awesome view of the North Pacific Ocean..

Beautiful and tough

One of my favorite courses. Front 9 is extremely tough with incredible views. Back 9 is easier with challenges. One of the best courses in Sonoma County

Great Day on the links

It was a perfect day and the course was in good shape. The only problem was the greens had just been aerated, otherwise everything was perfect.

Wild course, perfect views, everything mint

One of the coolest courses I’ve ever played. Perfect condition. Pace of play amazing. Friendliest most helpful marshal ever. Play early in the morning on a clear day cuz we teed off at 9:50 on a day it wasn’t supposed to be that windy and it was still blowing 15+ on the back nine. Super challenge and would be worth every penny without even taking the views into account. With the views it’s a no brainer. Truly unreal place.
