The Links At Bodega Harbour

overcast then fog rolled in. Paired with a very nice kind couple from Ireland tho,,fun day

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.

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.

Unbelievable having ocean views on every hole. Wind was tough but just a great experienc

I would pay double what I paid to play here. Really fun track with stunning views all over the course.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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

Great course for the value!!!

I grew up playing this course and it never disappoints. It's your best option in the area if you are looking for a links course near/on the water. It's a course that you can score on if you place your shots correctly. It's not terribly long but you can get into a lot of trouble if you miss fairways or struggle with your approach shots. Add the fog and wind and this course is an entirely different animal. I have loved bodega for years and it will always be a course that I want to go back to.

This is what I imagine a "links" course to be like. Closely mown fairways and large undulating greens. Difficult to find a level lie in the fairway and lots of strategically placed bunkers. All makes for an interesting day, until the wind kicks up. On the 13th hole we were hitting into what must have been 30 MPH. We decided to call it a day. One of the most redeeming features is the views from every hole, the other is the 19th hole. On a sunny windless day it could be my most favorite place to be.

This course is on a hill which over looks the Pacific ocean. As the name states, it is a links style course and like many links courses this one can be brutal when the wind blows. When I played on June 26th the pace of play was excellent - we did not have anyone in front of or behind us for the entire round. It was windy and cold which made the course extremely challenging, The course was in good condition. The views of the Pacific alone make it a worth while place to play. .

Go, Play, Repeat. When I lived in Marin, we would try to play this track bi monthly. It's a long drive but we always planned it being an all day affair. Drinks/dinner in Occidental @ The Union Hotel always followed. The course opens relatively easy, usually down wind to get you warmed up as there are no practice facilities worth mentioning. The course stiffens a bit on the 4th and 5th. The 5th is shortish, 3 shot double dog leg par 5. I personally have never made par. The 7th is a long Par 3 that can play 4+shots longer depending on the wind. Holes 8 and 9 are fairly straight forward on their own-but a stiff left to right, or direct head wind forces a bit more conservatism. The back 9 follow the same directional, and advantages as the front. Holes 11 thru 13 are down wind. The final 6 are just fabulous golf holes, with 16, 17, and 18 ALL demanding of accurate golf shots. There is very little room for forgiveness, but the rewards playing them well will give you good feelings on the ride home.

Played this course on a warm sunny day - ocean views were glorious. Mostly lined by homes, the course opens with four challenging holes, bookended by narrow finishing hole on the ocean. Sloped greens add difficulty to shortish holes. Often bathed in wind and fog, with constant elevation changes - very challenging course. You must walk short 16th and 17th holes as they play through oceanside wetlands which is unique. Well conditioned with lots of character - spotted a bobcat on the course.

The Links at Bodega Bay give you wonderful views looking out to the Pacific flanked by Bodega Bay itself to the North and Point Reyes to the South. The course itself is a meandering romp though the coastal hills on which it is set. Houses frame the fairways on most holes, but are set back enough that reasonable fades and draws stay in, but hooks and slices are at risk. Some very creative holes here that require hitting your landing zones. 17-19 essentially play right on the beach and are amazing. Wind is a serious factor here. This is an enjoyable, accessible course. Worth playing.

This was our first links style course. It was hilly and challenging. Loved the views and the tough course. We will go back!

I was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful views of the harbor and ocean, intermittent sunshine, no wind. Well maintained greens and fairways. Felt like we had the course all to ourselves. Especially enjoyed holes 16 and 17 where you had to hit over the wetlands and walk the boardwalk with provided pull carts. Hole 18 was my favorite. Had no idea from the Tee box that it was a downward green with awesome views of the ocean.I will be back.
