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.

Awesome experience!!!
I was greeted by the head pro Bob Caldwell who eagerly took my bag and put it on a cart for me. I was I'm pressed by all the staff at the course. Bob and Khiana were very friendly and helpful. I have to say #4 was the toughest hole I had ever played. The layout and the views were unbelievable. When ever I visit the bay area again I will be teeing it up at Bodega Harbour . You have to have there huge breakfast burritos. Delicious!!!. I truly met a couple of good friends at Bodega Harbour. Don't forget to say hi to "Emma". Great experience.
great link course
The course is very nice and well layout, my only problem is the houses that lined along side the fairway, they are too close for comfort, and almost all of them has large panel of full size window over looking the golf course, after seeing a contractor replacing glass panel for one of the houses, I became very caution in my drive! Other than that, it was a great experience playing on this course.
perfect place for getaway from heat,
Beautiful and fun courses.
Links at Bodega
Great course with beautiful views of the ocean. Enjoyed our round and especially enjoyed the rare opportunity to play there without having to wear a jacket.
Bonehead's Favorite Course to Play
The course is very challenging and scenic. The course is not long. My only complaint was pace of play. It took over 5 hours to play 18 holes.
Not easy, but fun.
Fun course, lucky to have played with someone who had knowledge of the course or we would have been in trouble. Great bay views from just about every hole I believe. We will be back
Every hole is picture perfect! Loved this course. Would definitely play here again!
On a clear day
Unfortunately, mother nature won this day, as the fog and cloudy conditions stayed with us the whole round, so we didn't get the views that we hoped for.
The first few holes the fog created some challenges that we haven't had before and that was entertaining to say the least. A little course knowledge would have helped on a few holes, but that is the problem when playing a course for the first time
Other that that, the course met our expectations. Course was in good shape, pro shop staff was very friendly and talkative. I would love to play this one again if I had the chance.
overcast
overcast then fog rolled in. Paired with a very nice kind couple from Ireland tho,,fun day
Great Time at Bodga Bay
If you can play through 40 mile an hour winds, you wimp, you will have a great time. many holes are unique as well as challenging with fantastic views of the Ocean,
The Golf Shop, Canteen and Bar basically close down on Sunday afternoon, unfortunately.
Check in at Pro Shop could not have been any friendlier.
Well worth the trip
Bummed to find out the Sunday Special was $55 ($100 posted on their web site). Was unable to get that rate since booking though Golfnow, lesson learned. Staff was very friendly and pace of play was perfect. Greens, fairways, tee box and even bunkers were in perfect condition. Looking forward to playing again.
18 Holes of spectacular views
Unbelievable having ocean views on every hole. Wind was tough but just a great experienc
incredible value
I would pay double what I paid to play here. Really fun track with stunning views all over the course.
Saved $400 per player
Yes , I have played Pebble Beach. My review is strictly based on mother nature. My day at Pebble was filled with chasing my head covers across the tee boxes and doing everything I could to shelter myself from the sideways rain. However , my day at Bodega Harbor just happened to fall between two nasty storms. The ocean views from almost every hole were just awesome. We played from the white tees which made the narrow fairways a little easier to hit. The greens were all very large and approach shots seem to find them easily. All of the above just combined for a great day.
Some very cool holes and elevation changes at this course
Beautiful course, unbelievable ocean views. Front 9 can be tough, need to have a strong iron game out here. Course was in great shape. Only SLIGHT knock I have is that in a few places the greens were a little bumpy.
Best views
Always like playing this course, great challenge, need all your shots in your bag.
Only problem is because you used golf now they will not send you out early?
There could be 40 minutes between you and the last group that went out and then they will send out six groups back to back and not all four somes??
Why and next thing you know you are waiting on group in front, makes no sense!!
Interesting and different
Played on a extremely windy day even by local standards and found it interesting but challenging. Beautiful views of Bodega Bay. Definitely not a starter course. Back nine much better side.
Atrocious service
The golf here was great, the service was absolutely terrible, rivals the $5 courses I have played, after making the turn we were denied food, not even a basket of fries, would absolutely NOT recommend this course to anyone
