The Links At Bodega Harbour
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Fun walking holes
Hole 16 and 17 were very fun and interesting holes for a course. I enjoyed them.
Hi, u314160639864. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at The Links At Bodega Harbour. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Magnificent Views on most holes
Super cool great layout that takes you up into the hills and a great canyon area then back all the way down to a dunes area, so truly gives you a feel for the entire area. Greens rolled very true on this challenging course , where most approaches are either elevated or descending downward. Bring a bunch of balls and enjoy the cool breeze, easily a top 10 course in Northern California for me

We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, genetabb. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing The Links At Bodega Harbour!
Love this course!
As always, the course is in good condition, and today the greens were in awesome condition.
I escaped 90 degree weather by playing here today, but I wasn’t as ready as I should have been for the winds blowing in from the Bay - it was cold!
Suggest that for anybody reading this, they go with the assumption that the temperature, regardless of time of day, will be in the 50’s / 60’s range and pack a warm jacket!
Thank you for your review, torch892. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at The Links At Bodega Harbour. Great tip for other golfers! Its never a bad idea to bring your favorite jacket. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Worth the drive! Really fun lay out
Bodega Bay was on my list of NorCal courses to try this summer so I made the 2+ hour drive from 100 degree Sacramento to tee off in 59 degrees. Course staff were AWESOME! Super friendly and helpful. I was running late so they brought me the Marshall's cart (right to my car so I could meet my group on the first tee), then traded it at the turn for a "sanitized" cart. Lot's of blind shots, but it made every hole an adventure. You can see the ocean from virtually every green/tee box on the course! Although I didn't shoot that well (10 strokes over my handicap) I still had a blast. 16-18 were a great finish. Forced cary over the marsh on 16 . . . fairway and green literally back up to the beach over a dune. You bring your clubs to play the par 3 17th back over the march to your cart . . . then drive back up the hill for 18 which also has a forced carry to a downhill fairway and an awesome view of the green through the trees with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop. Definitely worth the drive and the money. Greens in great shape. Tee boxes and fairways/rough not immaculate, but well kept and very playable.

Revisit since Covid closure
It was good to get back to this course, which is one of the better courses in the bay area. Course was in excellent condition, with the pins in extremely difficult positions. Cloudy, but not that windy today. Got around in 4 hours, cold have been quicker, but a couple of players were fairly slow losing several balls during the round.

Under 4 hrs.
This course was fun for the first time playing it. Lucky I played with someone who played it before and was given some tips where to hit. Enjoyed holes 1-9 and 16-18. Holes 10-15 needed a little more to them. I walked, but its a good walk. I will return and play again in the near future.
