About
Sea Ranch Golf Links opened in 1974 as one of the first Scottish links-style golf courses to be built in the Western United States. The front nine stretches along the rugged North Coast, offering plenty of scenic ocean views, while the back nine moves inland, incorporating the small creeks that meander across the landscape. Mature redwoods and natural sea grass rough accent the golf course, especially along the fairways to provide some challenges. The design is noted for blending seamlessly with the scenic surroundings. While the golf course can seem intimidating, four diverse sets of tees make it more approachable for a range of skill levels. In addition to the course, Sea Ranch is also popular for its practice facilities, which include an all-grass driving range and two short game areas with putting and chipping greens.

Par 3 8th green. Probably the most picturesque hole on the course. Photo submitted by Richard4180889 on 02/19/2018
Course was in great condition and pace of play was ideal
October golf on the north coast
Beautiful weather, not much wind don’t let the front 9 fool you. Lost a lot of balls in the back 9 . Easier than bodega Harbour
It is as quiet and efficient as advertised.
My wife and I truly enjoyed the experience. The greens were in excellent condition.l
A hidden gem.
Very enjoyable. The greens were fantastic and the terrain is beautiful.
Sea ranch
Sept, oct, nov best time of the year, when wind is down beeSt time of the year
Sea Ranch
Played at the twilight rate, 5 PM and walked the back nine...great greens, somewhat challenging fairways- rough is rough!!!! stay on the fairways and you'll have a great time...beautiful views, nice staff...will play again every time we're in the area....
Excellent conditions
now is the time to play this course!! in beautiful shape after this nice winter, nice break from the heat inland, friendly staff, challenging course but beautiful
Late summer..,course is dry but plays well. Putting greens are in excellent shape for late summer
Make the Trip!
After a scenic drive up Highway 1, you will arrive at what is in my opinion one of northern California’s best kept links golf secrets. Sea Ranch reminded me of Bandon, where it’s all about the Golf. Nothing pretentious, beautifully carved out of the landscape, immaculate putting surfaces and a true sense of nature throughout your round. I will be playing 36 on my next visit! Great course.
Sanded greens, not mowed every tough to putt, this was not mentioned at the golf shop
Sea Ranch
I love this course, it is small, fairly remote and challenging. Scenery is great, friendly staff and just fun to play. My only complaint is that the greens had been punched recently and putting was a part of the round that was missing.
Great course!
Great course.
Spectacular views and wildlife
A beautiful coastal course with ocean views on many holes. Some challenging holes mixed with easy ones. Pace of play is great. I highly recommend this course.
Fun course....
Haven’t played here in some 15 years but always great to be back at a Sea Ranch. Very casual, staff very friendly....course is holding pretty well despite the massive amounts of rain. Greens a bit slow due to rain but in otherwise great condition.
Harder on the back 9 than the front
the front 9 seems easier than the back although it has some challenging holes. The back 9 has many more places to find trouble and takes more concentration to get a good score on the back 9. Still fun to play just challenging. Only get here a couple of times a year since it is a long drive.
Greens were just pnxhed
Course for price is not in good shape with greens just punched and not mowed the price for 18 holes should be reduced considerably. We have played this course numerous times and this is the most expensive and the worse shape for greens
Sea Ranch
My favorite golf course , the greens were just sanded and plugged but the course is in great shape . I always enjoy my round of golf there .
