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.

Very challenging course layout with stunning ocean view. Me and my friend together with a father and son duo had a good time. Sure to play here again when visiting the bay area. Friendly staff.

Course Guide Sign

For first-time visitors, the course lacked clear signage, making it very difficult to navigate between holes.

Beautiful views, slow play

With it being right out on the ocean almost every hole has an awesome view! Unfortunately you are going to get a lot of chances to enjoy that view as they stack up the tee times so close that we were already stuck waiting by the 2nd tee and spent the rest of the round having to wait on every shot.

The layout and maintenance of the course was great though and I will definitely plan on trying to play here again.

Enjoyable course, great views

We always play this course when we are in the Napa Valley. Well worth the drive out to the coast.

The views from each hole are spectacular and really enjoy playing this course at this time of year.

Enjoyed the live music in the clubhouse after our round, a pleasant surprise and nice treat with our drinks.
