The Links At Bodega Harbour

Robert Trent Jones design. Need I say more. Maniacal!

Some might find this course a bit extreme. Up hill, down hill, chasms, traps everywhere., hilly fairways.

For $36 including cart is a smokin' deal for that course. It was off the hook!

Greens were fast .....and tough.

Make the pilgrimage and enjoy. Be sure to check GolfNow for a proper deal. You could pay as much as $90.

Good fun, great spot, great people. Great course.

Cheers!

My fiance plays this course every summer we visit, and I’m really glad I was able to join him this time. Perfect golf date on a beautiful day. It’s a short drive from Petaluma. Beautiful 66 degree day at the coast. Started out overcast and sun broke thru mid-day. Winds about 15-20 mph. Bob and the entire staff were super friendly. My first links course experience was truly enjoyable and plenty challenge (shot 116). Glad we rode and unless you enjoy winding conditions, 15-20 mph is a good max to stay under.

Excellent staff and it’s treat!

Especially Bob! He is the best!

Course was in great shape and the weather couldn’t have been better. Staff was helpful and friendly as always.

This course is in great shape, and don’t let anyone fool you, its a tough course, golfed with 3 very nice gentlemen

Don’t expect to score well ... the front nine is very challenging ... you must be precise! Every hole is a signature hole; unique, exciting and difficult.

The back nine is a pleasant surprise.... wide fairways, greens are a bit more level ...

Trent Jones design ... on steroids!

What a great day we picked, sunshine no wind about 84° perfect. The golf course is in excellent condition, the greens are very challenging with lots of humps, and dales excellent condition. The course overlooks the ocean and with stunning views. The challenge of the course is it where to hit your drives, and set yourself up for the next shot. A beautiful day.

I've played this course before and enjoy the challenge, however, I'd recommend to determine how windy it will be unless you like strong winds. The course is challenging enough but when the wind is blowing in excess of 20 mph, half the hole are dead into the wind and makes it even harder. Still enjoyed my time, since I got around in a little over 3 hrs.

have played this many times and the first four holes are the most challenging I've played. the course is in good to great shape especially with all of the rain we've had. always a bit windy in the afternoon. Bob and the staff are as friendly as you will find!

We went off at 1130 am and had a leisurely round. No wait in front and no one breathing behind us. Course and greens are in great condition. Will be back soon!

The course is in very good shape. Looks like the second and third rough cut happened last week, typical for spring on the coast. Very few wet spots left anywhere on the course.

The greens were firm and a little slow but the weather was perfect.

Started at 1:50 and played in under 4:15 with no one behind us. Good time to go out there before the summer winds start!

Rode the Blacks (6284/71.6/132) with John, Ian and Mike in 4.5H. The weather was windy, partly cloudy and in the high 50's.

Robert Trent Jones Jr. design that coupled with the location is borderline spectactular. All 18 holes have anywhere from a good to a stunning view overlooking the Pacific. Very hilly course where you play about an equal amount up/down hill. Many hilly courses you play downhill, then ride in a cart for a half mile to get back up the hill so you can play down hill again. I love the way this course does not do that, most greens are close to the next tee. The uphill holes here are very challenging, they are very uphill. Par 70 layouts with only two par 5's I usually do not care for, but I really enjoyed this tough course. I thought the 132 slope from the Blacks was understated.

A very unique feature of this course is that you can only ride 16 holes. Holes 16/17 are a risk reward, short par 4 followed by a longer par 3. Those you have to walk becaue they are carved out of a marsh. They provide pull carts so golfers can either pull or carry their clubs on those holes.

The playing conditions were very playable. However, after playing over seeded courses in the desert consistently for months, a course that doesn't overseed the thin areas really stand out to me once you become accustomed to lush throughout.

The tees were good. Nicely maintained, level, good coverage with few unfixed divots.

The fairways were decent, nice coverage, about an even amount of lush and thin.

The rough was nasty. Close to the fairways, it was mowed down but still thick. Get more than a few yards off the beaten path and it was anywhere from 6" to a couple feet tall.

Windy course near the ocean, not a surprise that the sand traps were mediocre. Too many areas that were thin/crusty.

The large poa annua greens were firm but still putted medium to medium slow speed. I usually like poa annua greens and putt them okay. However, I was challenged by the speed and consistency of these greens.

The Links at Bodega Harbour would be a very difficult course to walk because it is so hilly. Agree with others comments that it is a must play if even remotely in the area. But this is not a course for everyone because of the difficulity, the hills and the fact that you have to walk two holes. Highly recommended with the above in mind.

Love this course, even on a day when your game is not great the views are. New carts are fantastic, phone charging port, yardage, and very quiet.

The course is in as a good a condition as I have ever seen it, with my having played this course many times over the last 10 years.

Normally, I’d recommend the course to anybody who would listen, if only for the amazing views of the Bay from the course, but right now, with the course in the condition that it is in, I’d have to recommend the course as worth playing to anybody, regardless of how far away they live.

FYI, I live more than 2 hours away from the course. I’d gladly make the drive, even if I lived 4 hours away from the course.

Good condition, some of the rough was not cut yet, weather conditions didn't allow. Just stay in the fairway. Always a beautiful place to play no matter the weather. Pace of play was good, men's group in front of us. favorite, challenging, fast greens.

Today's weather was perfect! Temps in the middle 60"s, only a little wind, blue skies, no fog. This is a demanding course even if you have local knowledge, but if you have to play when the wind is blowing, the fog is creeping in, or it's a cold day, then good luck!

Even with this challenge, I scored my low round of the year!
