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.

Slow play, but overall a worthwhile round. Greens were wonderful, and the course wasn’t too soft

Great Course, Unbeatable Value

Course is in great shape, layout is challenging, views are incredible. For the money you’d be hard pressed to find anything that comes close in the North Bay.

Take The Hike

The original mr chow review can fake a hike and save it!!!. This place is awesome and I’d wait all day on that 16-17-18 turn to take in what we just experienced. Those holes are fine being played slow, and the views having been already priceless were now more abundant. No way he waited an hour…

originalmrchow and his review can save it! This course is awesome each and every time. Been playing here for 20 years and it hasnt changed a bit…

And the staff is awesome.!

Thanks for the great golf each and every time!

In fact played a 4th of July tournament here once and they said they’d mail results. They didn’t. But the next time I was there they gave me 2 sleeves of pro-v for winning long drive. Didn’t even have to prove it.!!
