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.

Golfer Reviews
Worst round in a while
Tee'd off at 8 am. Fog till till about the 9th hole (which took 3+ hours to get to). That is my real quip. Just no fun at all paying $90 (well $65 with the golfnow discount) to play golf when you can't see where you are hitting and having to call ahead to the group to see if they are off the green. Was the least fun I've had playing golf in a long time. Also it is quite a trek from SF.
Like fog?
This is a wonderful course when you can see it. The fog in the morning was so intense I couldn't see more than about 100 yards, so tracking the ball was an issue. I couldn't tell if the par 3s were clear from the tee box. Don't go in the early morning is my advice.
To my thinking, more beautiful than Pebble, and more challenging.
All around top notch. Greens are as true as pool table tops. Mounds, and elevation changes are awesome. Views outstanding. Rewards great tee shots, punishes anything less. Would play again and again.
Punched Greens
Staff was friendly and when I asked about the shape of the course, he responded that it was it great shape. When I get to the first green I find that it has been punched as were all 18 greens. No mention was made in the pro shop or online when I made reservation. I really find this to be misleading and frustrating as I would not have made a t time knowing that greens were freshly punched. Other than the shape of the greens, the course was in good shape and the wind was down to make it more playable.
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.
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.
