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.

Great course great views
It’s an awesome course. You can play short hole and then they give u huge holes I love it. Just wish I could afford it more.
Wonderful
I would have paid to just drive this course in a cart without hitting a ball. Very nice, helpful staff and views of the Pacific from most holes. You have to park your cart and walk 16 & 17 along the ocean, which was cool. They supply walking carts. Best value for a course that I have ever played. First time I have felt the need to write a review.
Superb
The drive up there was worth every shot and every views !!!!! Be prepare for the wind !!!!
Great Course
Foggy but it didn't impact the wonder of this course. Fantastic ocean views all over the front 9. Several blind shots down on the beachside back 9. As others have said, the greens are quite a challenge.
Walking the 16/17 across wetlands bridges was a cool treat!
Can't wait to return and play again.
Great ocean course
Weather was great little wind and short sleeve day, not what you usually find at this course. The greens are very fast and have lots of elevation changes, putting is always a challenge on this course. We knew the course was difficult but still great to play, especially if you can get a great weather day.
Amazing views
What a golf course. Almost every hole had a view of the pacific. The wind made it very challenging yet fun and the greens super fast almost PGA level.
The staff were friendly and very helpful as well.
I’m definitely coming back.
the veiw
Fun course nice veiw .Greens in good shape ,stay away from ruff are your ball is gone.
A MUST PLAY
Heard about this course from a friend in the UK, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED PLAYING HERE.
Nice welcome from the cart guy in the car park who brought the cart to our car. Check in staff were friendly and approachable, and and appreciated our business.We were given a brief on warm up fascilities , ie nets to hit a few warm up shots etc. No starter on first tee but we had already been informed at check in off pin placement. Would have been nice if someone had gone through the start up of the GPS on the cart, it took us a few holes to get it up and running.The carts are the old petrol engine type and were a bit sluggish - but it got us round ok.
We played off the back tees and found it a great challenge, we were a 2 ball who play off 8 and 10 handicaps. Tee boxes were in good condition,as were the fairways, and the greens were very good and fair.
Fantastic views from the top end of the course down into Bodega Harbour, it was rather a dull, low cloud day with a bit of drizzle , but the setting, views and condition of the course far outweighed that.
The last 3 holes are very interesting and a tough challenge when there’s a little breeze.
All in all I would definitely go out my way to come back here, it’s a little gem .
We were staying in San Francisco and it took about 1hour 30 mins to drive up - we’ll worth it, and we managed to get a nice green fee of $36 + tax PP for 18 holes/cart using the Golf Now app.
Pace of play was spot on - on the way back we dropped in to Sausalito for a bite to eat at Bar Bocce , in order to miss the traffic heading back in to San Francisco.
If your new to this area - It’s a MUST PLAY.
We played on Thursday 23rd May 2018 at 1pm .
Beautiful Course
Always fun to come play this course. Well maintained, and great views of Doran Beach and Bodega Bay. The wind and fog are definitely factors to consider while booking tee times.
Fun course with great views
Not long, but a high value on hitting the fairways. Fast, large greens with lots of contours.
The views are worth the drive.
The staff was great, friendly and very professional.
Beautiful Dsy
All is well in Bodega, you show up play golf , gotta be a good day . Thanks Bodega Bay
Record Time
On occasion playing as a single has it's advantages. Yesterday was perfect as I completed my round in 3 hours despite some windy conditions that made me think twice about each shot. The course was in good shape and played fair. A foursome ahead me allowed me to play through on the third hole and after that I was pretty much in the clear.
Great Day at Bodega Bay!
It was a Great Day and perfect weather. The greens were very rough and they did not run true. It was obvious they had not recovered from aeration. It is still a Great place to play.
Awesome golf
Wonderful views of the bay on every hole. Course conditions very nice. Friendly fun and enjoyable! Love this course!
Beautifully Windy
The course was one of most scenic course available in North Bay area. Net practice range was available and staff were very friendly. Green was bit slow and could use some work though. Say hi to the neighbors!
Bad greens
Not advised of the green conditions, punched and sanded prior to arrival or when paying for the round Not a good business practice.
Bad greens
Had a coupon which required and extra $20.00 per person because we started before noon on Saturday, No problem... However the girl working the pro shop, who said she was in charge of the marketing, failed to advise that the greens had been punched and sanded earlier that week (they were terrible) As I told her that is not the way to do business . Had I known we would have driven to Northwood or somewhere else.
Golf in heaven
The day was perfect. Brilliant blue ocean, sunny, mid-60’s, no wind and good friends. Couldn’t ask for more...
