The Links At Bodega Harbour

Played on a weekend and ended up getting to play solo. Very well-maintained course. Friendly staff. Fast greens. Can’t wait to play it again.

Foggy for the first half, cleared and then wind (15-20 kts) after. Course is beautiful though, and in great shape.

A thoroughly enjoyable day at the Links.

Made all the better by 2 close up sightings of bobcats!

I played this course today. I will explain all the things I wish had of known before playing.

Good: I enjoyed the course conditions, the greens are challenging and the short game shots I encountered here were unique. Knowledge of the course is needed to score well as I over clubbed and under clubbed on three holes each. The greens tend to stick so you should play to the yardage you fly if you have a high ball flight.

I loved the hills and slope of this course as well. I didn't feel like I played the same hole twice, which is a common complaint of mine on a lot of courses.

The first four or so holes are all uphill, yet are not particularly long. You can play with a driving iron or fairwood and still have a wedge into the green. The last three holes are some of the best I have played and are fairly easy, setting up for low scoring. 16 and 17 are built on marshland and fairly short. 16 is a drivable par four

BAD: I disliked the narrowness of fairways and the closeness of houses on this course. I understand a lot of courses have houses on the course, but this course felt as though the houses were part of the course as a hazzard. I played shots differently, because of the fact I could easily hit a house if something went haywire. It was somewhat unnerving as you basically don't have a place to warm up and to get the driver going you need to miss it a bit, or at least I do. Not to mention if my fade sways with the wind, you can hit a house, which had me hitting a 2-iron and 3 wood most of the day, sometimes even hitting a four or five iron.

I understand this isn't the courses fault and I enjoy the course, but I think people should understand if you have a high ball flight you need to control your shots at this course, not much room for error.

I had a lot of fun at this course, I scored well despite losing six balls to hazards. I think if the houses were a bit further back, I would play this once a month or so. Instead, I will play it maybe yearly.

It is a beautiful course and one worth a play.

The course and greens were in great shape, the weather was exceptional, and the views were spectacular. I will definitely come back and play this course again.

My sons and I enjoyed a great day of golf at the Links at Bodega Bay. The course was in good condition and the views were spectacular! We will be back!

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.
