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.

Nice day

Surprised that the weather was great and the course was in such good condition, given all the rain we had. Cart path only 2 holes, which was a pleasant surprise, given that all the other courses I've played this year required Cart path only. Looking forward to returning.

beautiful course with views of the ocean

Course was in good shape with some areas that were muddy but mostly in good playing shape. There was a lot of rain in the last week so this course healed well and they were able to mow it all which wasn't the case in most of the other courses in this county.

Great time, great challenge and awesome views

First four holes hitting uphill and into a 20mph wind were quite the welcome. The turn back down the hill at five was welcome and beautiful.
Greens were hard to figure out. Might have been fuzzier than normal. The grain seemed to have a huge impact. A couple three putts on the front. I don’t know if the back was easier, or I just got used to it but I scored better. Eighteen was tough having never played the hole. Lay up, play it as a par five and finish strong. Great day.
Oh the warm up area (hitting nets) were better than nothing, but you have no clue how you are hitting the ball, just banging balls to get loose.
I would definitely come back though.

Windy weather
Walked

Bodega Bay

This is such a fantastic course with difficult greens due undulations and wind conditions depending on the weather. The day we played ,the wind was howling so it added extra challenge to it.

Amazing

This course was an amazing course. Even though a bit challenging it was one of my favorites for sure. We will do it again and next time book an earlier tee time because we ran out of time. The sunset was beautiful.

Horrible Customer Service

Out of town visiting and called to make tee time for next day and they took down my information and confirmed and when I called later in day to confirm, the tee time was unavailable. No explanation as well.
