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.

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.

Great Course....but

I have played this course many times in all types of weather. An excellent course @$50, a good course @$75, but not a great course @$100, This was also the first time I was bothered by yellow jackets (an aggressive type of bee with a painful sting). I was stung on the 11th hole and was paranoid about being re-stung for the rest of the round.

Nice course

First time playing the course from tee box to fairway to greens were in excellent conditions. Staff friendly and for $55 with cart a deal. My only complaint is hole 16 & 17 are habitat sensitive and a little confusing on which was which based upon yardage. You have to leave cart and use their pull carts which was one short for the group. Beautiful views and would play again. The greens were fast too.

Challenging with amazing views

I can’t remember the last time i had so much fun playing - the course was so challenging specially the first nine holes but i felt at times it was forgiving. The views of the bay was spectacular and just beautiful. Holes 16 and 17 were so much fun playing and walking through the marsh was definitely an experience. I have a new favorite golf course.
