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.

Dramatic ocean views

One of my favorite courses. Superb layout. The course makes you think about shot selection. Short course but strategically bunkered from the black tees.

Great staff. Everyone was very friendly and outgoing.

A different course

We played on a Tuesday, our biggest challlenge was fog. I was kind of expecting that it would clear as the round went on, but no such luck. However it wasn’t a big problem as long as you understand your ball flight. If you are wild off the tee, the fog will create a problem.

The front 9 are really interesting holes and so are the last three. The middle 6 are OK but nothing amazing.

This is a very undulating course. The fairways for the most part are not flat especially the front.

We enjoyed the course and will play it again if the chance arises

Great choice for late September. 15 years gap since last visit. Quite a challenge, when you’ve forgotten what you learned the first visit. Better not wait another 15 years. Might be too much of a challenge at 85 years old!!

Best condition that I’ve ever seen it!

I’ve played this course many times over the last few years. The fairways look awesome and there’s good sand in the bunkers.

Hope you like a Challenge

This was my first time to Bodega and I couldn't be happier with the course. They checked us in loaded our carts for us and even gave us tips through every hole. Gps built into the carts was also a plus, helps on the holes you can see to well.

The wind makes it challenging. The course itself is well maintained, the holing hills make it a very beautiful course with a view of the surrounding bay. I'll be back 100% and everyone in my group enjoyed it as well.

Poor man’s Pebble Beach

For a very reasonable price you can play a Robert Trent Jones course in wine country with a view of the ocean on 16 holes. And the two holes where you can’t see the ocean are laid out across this beautiful marsh land. Even though it is 6400 yds from the tips it will challenge every part of your game. The natural beauty and the wildlife are a plus. Good service and good food too! And don’t forget to check out the view from the bar!
