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.

Great course.

Played here before, however was a beginner. Caveat got a hot deal. This course is a beast . Decide when your driver needs to sit in the corner. Consult your fellow players if first time. If you have the luxury of time and are riding a cart scoot up to see some holes( esp no 5 I think) have fun. U can play this course for a fraction of pebble and it's real. Side note I put this with half moon bay as simply awesome.

Great day playing the greatest game

The course was in great shape and it was a great day, but unusual conditions. It was rather warm and there was almost no wind. For anyone who has played Links at Bodega Bay, you know what I mean. It might have been due to the time I played, but the course played fairly fast and it was well kept. There are undulating fairways, but that only adds to the beauty along with the view of the bay. I honestly had I a great around round of golf. The staff is always great. I highly recommend playing here.

Beautiful day on a beautiful course

Returned to play for the first time in 20 years at this course and was treated to a beautiful day. The course was in great shape and the weather was perfect. I forgot about the tough greens and a few blind shots. I’ll be back in the next 12 months rather than 20 years.

Course with great view

This course is not for the faint at heart. It offers excellent views to the ocean even though you have great challenges with the wind. The greens are very challenging to read.

Always enjoy playing this course

This is both a fun and scenic course. My only complaint was the GPS in our cart was not working. We should have just returned the cart for a working one, but we didn't want to hold up the other players.

Great course

A wonderful place to play. My main complaint is that for two out of the three times I have played there, I was placed in a threesome or was directly behind a threesome in which there was a player who was just beginning to learn to play which led to long waits and slow rounds. It would seem, given the price of a round ($62-$78), that there should be some guarantee that the players were experienced golfers.

Staff is not too friendly/knowledgebale

2 stars for the beautiful breathtaking views, the rest I do not recommend for. First off, I called initially to ask information about practice areas and putting greens, shayna/shawna or I don’t exactly remember the lady’s name that picked up, starts with an S, answers the call as if she does not at all want to be working there, she puts me on hold without saying anything, and comes back and then does not even directly answer my question, and I just said ok that’s fine thank you, and she just doesn’t even say anything until I just had to hang up. She seemed very unhappy to be there, or maybe sick or on something. Second of all, we get there with my 4 year old and husband and they refused to let us play our reserved tee time, because they say no kids allowed, which does not in anyway say anywhere in their policies. If you’re creating a policy, make sure you have it written somewhere to save people from travelling hours and hours away just for you to turn them away.

Windy and wild

I was just a little disappointed with the long wait for carts although I do understand the situation with one person to a cart. I was also disappointed with the wind which was much stronger than the times I played there previously. Everything else was as great as usual.
