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.

Must play The Bay

A really fun experience. Front nine is extreme with steady climb over first four holes followed by a wild downhill par 5. Then course settles in. Back nine preferable to front side. Closing four holes are worth the wait. Have to play them to truly understand. Amazing views throughout the property. Course conditions were good. Were fortunate to play with a local who knew his way around and could provide directional tips and help. Not long on the scorecard but elevation changes force you to think and strategize on many holes. Put it on your list if in the North Bay area. You’ll enjoy it!

Best shape it’s been in in a few years

Green’s rolling slow but pretty true. The front line has crazy undulations and it’s best to avoid driver and play target golf, back nine is a little more classic with hole number 18 requiring two great shots to get anywhere near the Green. I always escape out to bodega Bay when it’s too hot inland. I hit four balls OB during my round were able to find all of them. Tons of lost balls in the high grass if you’re willing to venture into it. My only really complaints are the Round was over five hours with no cart girl on a weekend, lots of tee boxes uneven. I will continue to come back because it’s obvious that they’ve dumped some money recently into the course.

Plays Longer

Great Views, great conditions but the course plays longer than the posted yardage. Blue tees are 5900 yards but plays more like 6200.
