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.

Best course ever in terms of scenery and course condition

Had a best golf experience since came to California. Course views are amazing with the ocean and layout of each hole intruiging and seducing. Fairways are well maintained and greens were fast enough to have fun. Really had a good time with 3 local gentlemen, Doug, Jim, and Mark. Thanks guys!

It can be hit or miss here as far as weather

when we started our round at 11:30 it was sunny ,clear skies and beautiful,within 6 holes or so foh rolled in were you couldn't even see what you were aiming at and really cold and windy,that lasted maybe 6 holes then it became somewhat visable not as windy and we were able to see our shots anyway till we finished.

Course is always fun and people who work there are great.Course is in good condition(greens a little bumpy but that could be cured if people repaired there divots and they rolled them occasionally but they did roll pretty fast.

Bunkers had sand and it was nice considering noone rakes them due to covid,but all in all a fun crazy round

Amazing views

Came up to enjoy a family day, and the course with its views didn't disappoint. Was totally overcast and cold but the backdrop to every hole was worth the drive. As everyone mentioned the last few holes right off the beach were pretty amazing.

Challenges All Around

A beautiful day after Thanksgiving and the weather could not have been more accommodating for a mid-day tee-time (11:50 AM). Being only the second time I have played the course, I had completely forgotten how challenging the course is - bringing out all the clubs in the bag. If you're playing the blue tees, be ready for one of the most challenging 18 holes of golf you'll find in the Northern California Bay Area

Super quirky design, incredible value

I have yet to play a course that even remotely resembles this one. At times it's mountainous, at times you feel like you're deep in a valley, most holes you can see the ocean, some holes you're literally in a neighborhood. It's a must play due to the great value, good conditions, the insane 15th-18th holes, and the fact that there is really no other course like it. You'll leave dumbfounded and smiling.
