The Links At Bodega Harbour
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.

Weekend getaway
My husband and I are always looking for fun and beautiful courses to play and this makes the list. Beautiful course, excellent staff and pace was perfect.
Great day and weather was perfect
This was one of those days at the coast, shirt sleeve weather and no wind to speak of. Greens had been punched and sanded a few days ago so they were a little slow but seemed to roll true. The punched holes were a small diameter.
Hi treeranger. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing The Links At Bodega Harbour.
A Hidden Gem
Beautiful ocean links golf course only 30 minutes from Santa Rosa. Great course condition and friendly staff make this a “play again” golf course. A little foggy the day I played but no less fun. Why anyone would want to pay $200 plus to play snobby Bandon Dunes when you can play this gem for $50.
It looks like a great golf course but it's an hour and 17 minutes from Napa where we are staying. We are on a road trip and we booked this course whe
We entered golf courses in Napa. Bodega Bay is one hour and 17 minutes from Napa. We tried to cancel but no refund, not the courses fault but disappointed in golfnow. I've tried to talk to a golfnow but I can"t get through to anyone and it's not easy to talk to anyone on their website. In the future I will carefully check where the golf course is located before making a reservation.

vogtjm, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Links At Bodega Harbour.
WOW!
Been camping at Dprean for abut 8 years and always wanted to play here. We were not disappointed at all even though it had rained the night prior and the coarse was super wet, cart path only for the round. Greens were unusually fast considering the conditions. 930 AM tee time made it a little chilly for the start (COLD).GPS carts that offered shot suggestions were perfect for a group that had never played the course. The staff was awesome from start to finish, awesome conversation, course info and education to dropping off breakfast burritos to us on the 11th hole. The views were breathtaking on almost every hole. My favorite two holes was 16 and 17, unusual but FUN!!
I will play this course every-time we are camping going forward. I think we are going to go back in April and hopefully have some spring like conditions!
Thank you are a great day and experience at the Links at Bodega Harbor!!

Had a blast
Played this course for this first time, and all the reviews about how beautiful this place is, the views of the ocean, the friendliness of the staff and other golfers who frequent this course were not exaggerated. I bought a special on golfnow for an 11:30 tee time for $19 with cart, but I arrived a couple of hours earlier. No problem,...just had to pay an extra $10 to tee off earlier. It was well worth it. With all the recent rain, parts of the fairways were a bit sloshy, but the greens were holding all the short to mid iron shots. Being a links setup, you've got to be ready for some interesting lies. The carts have a GPS which helps with club selection, and there are helpful tips on course management. That said, a few of the holes setup were challenging for this first timer. I did lose a few balls because there were quite a few blind tee shots.
The practice area consisted of a driving range that was more like a batting cage--warm up means hitting into a net. They have a putting/chipping/bunker areas.
I completed the round in 4:15 only because I didnt want the day to end. I easily could've completed the round in at least 30 minutes less as the 2 foursomes in front of me graciously offered to be passed, but I wanted to take in the views.
I will def return again. It's well worth the drive from Petaluma.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, Jricafrente! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good day even with the wind.
Another good day at Bodega, even with the traditional string afternoon winds. Course conditions for this time of year with the rain we have had were really good. Cart path only caused a good amount of walking but enjoyed the day.
One of my best golf experiences, EVER!
What fun! And, the closing stretch of 16-18 was awesome. Matter of fact, no. 18 is one of the best holes, ever, anywhere, and 16 was a hoot! My wife reminded me we played the course exactly one year ago today, Cinco de Mayo, 2019. Thanks for the memories!!
Love it
When I’m asked where my favorite course it I say Bodega Bay. Love it.
fun layout, ocean views, great winter golf
Third time playing this course - which helps, given several blind tee shots and trouble spots that are not obvious the first time around. It had rained hard 2 days prior, yet the greens were in great shape and the fairways soggy in only a few spots. The layout is challenging on some holes, while others are pretty easy - a nice mix. 16-17-18 are amazing! Broke 80 for the first time!
nparkin34, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Links At Bodega Harbour.
Not for the timid
The course is beautiful with each hole winding its way through houses on almost every hole with no holes bordering other holes (which makes for good uninterrupted, private play). It is therefore somewhat easy to hit a house if you have the skill levels of my group... and we did hit a couple of them But, the course is great and the beautiful setting could not be better. It also has a hitting area (net and balls) that is available free of charge to paid players so one can warm up prior to starting the round.
u314159714810, thank you for your kind words! Hopefully no broken glass out there! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Links At Bodega Harbour.
Another amazing day
I always love playing this course. Layout is challenging but fair. The course was in good shape with the exception of a few greens that had recently been punched, but little impact on play. We had great weather with a little bit of a breeze. Did I mention the staff were super friendly. Great day. Thank you Bodega.
Thank you for your review, utesox. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at The Links At Bodega Harbour. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
