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.

Bodega is always good
The weather was a bit windy, but totally playable. There are super hard holes, especially on the front. Greens were firm, good. Fairways were perfect. Just to nit pick a little, the traps are inconsistent. You don't really know what you have underneath the ball. Great layout, great condition, great location.
Best golf ever!!
From the moment you arrive you are greeted from the staff with a welcome and weather on the coast that was the amazing.
You should come and play this course to appreciate it. This is now my very favorite course.
Go. Play. It's Close Bay
I had played here only twice before and the course was perfect. It was One of a Kind, twice, and the best and purest golf experiences available anytime and anywhere. No different today. Really, to get a sunny and blue sky day with a little wind, we were spoiled to have the course to ourselves. Best coastal course for the $. With some wind against most holes on the back nine, course played long. Not a single thing out of place with this place, in, on, or around. 62 miles from East Bay, finished and got home in same time as local courses here. We won't be back...
Best golf deal of my life!
Bodega never fails to impress me. I’ve played this course for years but it never gets old. The course was about as perfect as I have ever seen it and for 18$ with a hot deal it’s impossible to beat. Don’t let the hills and houses intimidate you, it’s a great layout that offers you a solid challenge along with many chances to score. I picked a perfect day with clear skies and only about 10 mph in the wind department but even with a breeze and some coastal fog, this course is a hidden gem. With brand new carts featuring the latest GPS, a staff that is always there to help you out and views for miles of our beautiful coastline, I take advantage of every chance I get to play this golf course.
Best views available and great golf course
If you can catch a good rate on a sunny day with no wind this course is as good as it gets. The views of the coast are unbeatable and the course is very challenging but fun. It’s tough to avoid heavy winds or cold weather but it’s nice to have to switch up your game to play strategical. The staff is very friendly and I’ve never had a problem with the pace of play.
great round
Had a great time a Bodega Bay! good course with great views, and service. I would highly recommend this course.
Great course!
I’m from southern ca so playing by the beach down there would cost an arm and a leg. This course was a BARGAIN. The staff was great. The course was beautiful. The views from the course were awesome. I will definitely be recommending this course to anyone that asks me which course to play in northern ca. Thanks for great day!
Great Day at the Harbour
We had a good day at Bodega Harbour GC. The weather was good and the greens rolled fast. The back nine was a bit slow because of one group that should have been goosed on by the staff. Otherwise terrific value.
Beautiful and challenging
Awesome views and a challenging course. Great Day!
Great track!
First time here, I was really impressed. Granted, the weather was incredible, but the course was a fun layout in very good condition. A nice mix of challenging and getable holes. Staff was friendly, had a delicious egg sandwich at the turn, look forward to returning, cheers!
Great course
Course is very challenging. It was in great shape.. will play it again
Love Bodega Harbour Links
Played Saturday Feb 3rd. Have played here about 30 times over the years and have never been disappointed. Play was slow for some reason this time. The course is great. It is a fun layout, no two holes are similar. The greens are very tricky. Love the rolling terrain of the fairways on the front 9. Great value for the money. Head pro and staff are really nice and accommodating. For the middle of winter, I thought the course was in pretty good shape. They made the course a littler easier over the years. Some traps were removed and some reduced in size. I love this place - see the ocean from every single hole.
Scenic views
Great course . Challenging at times weather was good clear almost no wind.little wet, greens were ran pretty fast I'll be back soon.
.
Unknown conditions
I play golf at least twice a week with 2-3 foursomes. 16 handicap, although bodega is a well kept course, it plays like two different nines. The main reason I don’t play more often is the uncertainty surrounding the weather. Played yesterday cold n windy. 49 front 45 back. Played with winter gloves n knit hat. Forecast was for mid 60’s. Not my cup of tea.
Every hole has an amazing view of the Bay and ocean. Beautiful course.
Surf and Turf
This course offers a round that can challenge all the skills. Emphasizes course management. To score well especially demands proper placement in fairways and greens. The spectacular setting alongside ocean, marshes and dunes creates an aesthetic experience. Average golfers should bring a good supply of balls.
Weather and staff were amazing. We played Best Ball because my daughter and I had not played for some time and did not want to hold up other golfers. My husband was the better golfer so normally we chose his ball to hit from.
I highly recommend this course!
Husbands comment - Currently trying to locate Golf Clubs that know how to hit the ball in the fairway and greens and a ball that knows how to "Just Go In The Hole"
