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.

Conditions were great
The course was in great condition. The area was outstanding fairways were nice greens were fast
Challenging and beautiful course
The front nine was tough, especially trying to not hit any of the houses. The views are spectacular, especially the back nine. 16 and 17 are interesting with a walk to the marsh lands but it sure makes for a fun and gorgeous finishing hole on 18. It played slow at times with the par 3s being backed up but it's expected for a twilight Saturday round.
Beauty of a course
If you're lucky enough to catch it on a clear day like I did then there's not many places better especially for the price.
front nine was difficult but back nine was easy
if you are 6-10 or more handicap, i would not recommend this course. front nine will kill you before you get to the easy back nine. course is extremely wet in ealry august and i thought ca is in a drought. all fairways seem like it's been flooded.
Links at Bodega Harbour
great value for the cost, spectacular coastal views and a very challenging course, we had a great weather day as well light winds mid 70's cant wait to play it again
Beautiful Bodega
Beautiful setting, challenging but very fair I would highly recommend this course
Great course
The course was in excellent condition. Greens firm and fast. Fairways lush with lots of undulations uphill and downhill. Setting on the bay is spectacular with wonderful views of the ocean. The course was challenging but fair. I would recommend it to anyone.
a poor person's Pebble Beach
On a sunny, light windy day this course is a true treasure. The golf experience is enhanced by an exceptionally "user friendly" staff. It is one of my favorites and I play 100 plus rounds a year
Loved it!!
It was my first time here, I drove over an hour and a half to play for the day. It was awesome!! A bit windy when the clouds cleared but hey, you're playing on the coast of California, what do you expect! Beautiful fairways and greens (real fast greens at that) a great layout, and the 16th and 17th holes make you feel like you're in a sugarcane field in Hawaii! Highly recommended. The staff was awesome! Cleaned my clubs before and after the round. Great place to go all around! I'm already planning a return visit before the end of this year!
Awesome
Great course. It was extremely windy, but still a great course. Only negative---fantastic views of the bay, and ocean from every holemaking it tough to concentrate on your game.
Beautiful and challenging
Great experience. The views are too die for. And for the price.
Beautiful views but not pebble beach like.
Very nice course fun to play with ocean and bay views. Course winds through a housing development which takes away from the otherwise wild location. Lots of elevation change and a true links style course no trees to speak of lots of wind, bunkers and tall grass. Play it if you can great value for your money!!!
Bodega Coop
Great course if you want to be challenged on the front 9. Some spectacular views of the Bay and Ocean. The course is in great shape. A few funky but fun holes. Weather is not always good, but the day we played, it was excellent.
Very slow
Cool overcast summer day by the coast. Bring layers to cope with wind and sun variations!
Very pleasant course, 2 or 3 somewhat quirky holes and many blind shots.
Only major criticism is the pace of play - 5 1/2 hours on a Sunday morning isn't really acceptable. I got the impression that this wasn't unusual
Weather is the key factor - snooty staff (with an exception)
The course was exceptionally beautiful. Greens were a tad slow but mostly due to early-morning moisture. I teed off at 7:00 AM and was done by 11. The gentleman the pro shop was downright snooty with me when I didn't understand a question that he asked. The guy that was out in the parking lot however was very supportive and offered to clean my cart and shoes for me and did everything to refuse the tip that I wanted to give him.
The golf was excellent. Got paired up with some very nice guys. Had a great time on my wife slept in. I hope to go back there as soon as possible!The golf was excellent. Got paired up with some very nice guys. Had a great time on my wife slept in. I hope to go back to bodega bay as soon as possible. On a separate note I've played this course before, and it was probably the windiest day I've ever played golf. I've heard that's not uncommon. Would probably make a lot of sense to check the weather report prior to playing.
Don't blow me down!
One of the guys working at the course told my wife when she said she hoped the sun would come out that it would not be a good thing. He was correct in many ways, the sun did come out and along with it came what seemed like a 30 mile an hour wind and a ten degree drop in temperature. Regardless of this we enjoyed our round here. The conditions were very good, the course was fun and challenging and the pace was good until the 16th hole. The 16th and 17th are walk only, you park your cart and hoof it for two holes. You return to the cart after the second or 17th hole. The 17th is a par 3 about 155 yards from the blue tees and the wind was so strong that I hit a 4 hybrid and still was just short of the green! We unfortunately ran into a group at 16 that looked like they waited for the twosome in front of us and had about a ten to fifteen minute wait before being able to tee off on all three of the last holes. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and would like to play the course again. The views are absolutely spectacular as the ocean is visible from almost every hole. The views alone are worth the price, the golf is a nice complement to your sightseeing.
Great course to play at least once
A really good golf course,recommend riding a lot of up and down fairways.when I played not much wind made it play easier.
Bodega Bay
Enjoyed our golf. Weather was cloudy with some sunshine & wind. Enjoyed playing with another 2 some. The course had a tournament going but the rate of play was good and we never had to wait after we were started. The course was somewhat challenging to all 4 of us, and the wind made it a little more challenging to keep track of the ball in the rough.
Overcast and Beautiful
I played 18 at Bodega yesterday with a good friend. They were able to put us out as a twosome, which is good because neither of us are going to be setting any course records. The day was overcast and slightly breezy but there was no fog and the sun crept through just enough to keep us warm. The course was maintained nicely and provided challenges that you don't see on many other local courses. Overall, an excellent day for an excellent price. We'll definitely be back to play Bodega!
This course is challenging and peaceful.
This course is beautiful, challenging, peaceful and very clean. Weather can be challenging, especially when it gets windy. Staffs were very friendly and courteous.
