Rating 71.8

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.

Always on point

Great bargain just for the views. Greens are always solid, a few fairways can be a little soupy in the winter, but drains better than most Sonoma courses. My first choice in the county

Best value in the area

This course is all-around fantastic. Every hole is interesting and has a beautiful view of the bay. The greens are fast, true, and challenging to read. This course plays similarly to Half Moon Bay at the Ritz Carlton, yet this is almost half the price. In fact, I like this course better. I highly recommend playing here.

Magical

If you ever get a chance to play bodega bay... you take it. Greens were perfect. Ocean views on every hole. Finishing holes take you on the beach, and if you're lucky enough to ever play the last 3 holes during a sunset...

Fun course

It is a bit of a drive to get out there so I only play here occasionally. There are generally two conditions on the North Coast. Foggy, or if it is not foggy, it's windy! Bring layers. Somewhat quirky layout on some of the holes and conditions of the course are on the rough side occasionally. I enjoy the challenge, so I will make the drive again soon.

Worth the drive!

Weather your visiting on vacation or just driving up to go golfing, it’s well worth the trip. The drive here is pleasurable itself. This is probably the hardest course I’ve ever played and I just got back from three days at pebble beach. I think the houses surrounding the very narrow fairways made most of your tee shots very nerve racking. Overall pleasurable day on the links! Will be back!
