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.

Love Bodega Bay Links Golf

Let's start with the staff SUPER FRIENDLY AND ALWAYS WILLING TO GO OUT OF THIER WAY FOR U. If you haven't been to Europe and played links golf just go to Bodega Bay! My wife and I have played all the British Open courses except for two, and we feel like we are there in Bodega Bay! Can't wait to play there again. We are members at Squaw Creek Golf Links in Tahoe, another Robert Trent Jones course, but there are mountains and noo ocean. Bodega Bay dies it for us!

Late fall chance to play

It had been a few months since I've played the course, but luckily, I picked a perfect late fall day to play the course again. The course was in excellent condition as always. Looking forward to playing again.

Awesome views.

Beautiful course. Very challenging front. Back nine plays easier. Greens were nice. Fairways a bit too hairy. I prefer tighter lies

Stunning views. Challenging fairways

I guess any review will be better if I golfed well. I sure did. This course can be cold in the morning . But the fairways are really challenging and the greens are fast and well kept. Don’t walk this course. You’ll be exhausted. Definitely cart. And wait till you get to 16 and 17. What a trip. The most unique 2 hole combo I have ever golfed. This is my 2nd time and it’s worth the drive from SF.

Challenge on the coast

Played this track for the first time. It meanders through the coastal hills. A lot of elevation changes, blind shots, and trouble. Course is in early good condition and very playable.

Challenging layout in poor condition

This is the second time playing this course in about 6 months and sadly, the conditions have turned from average to poor. The fairways are plastered with bald spots making these "mogul" fairways even tougher. It's like hitting a good tee shot and landing in a divot. The front 9 fairways are lined with very intimidating houses where a slice or hook tee shot will most certainly hit them so hit em straight...
