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.

Challenging links course

Fog first 3 holes then wind picked up to 2+clubs. Great views of bay. Few blind tee shots. Short yardage at blue tees 5892 that should be rated higher than 124.

Enjoy

I wish they would put a marshal at 16th tee to get people moving along. It is always really backed up there.

I love the course and staff is really nice.

Beautiful Views

This was my first time playing the course. The views were spectacular and the course was in great shape. It was challenging yet extremely beautiful with ocean views from at least half of the holes.

Check the weather

Played here at 11:30 am with a light drizzle and heavy fog. I everything got wet and visibility was very poor. I do not recommend playing in these conditions. I was soaked from waist down. Things cleared up by the back 9. Like the title says the the weather. I can't wait to come back and play during the day nice day.

Beautiful Course

What a beautiful course and beautiful backdrops. Morning started out a little cool and calm but by the time we get to the eighth hole holy smokes the wind started blowing in it got cold but we still had a blast. We were hooked up with two local guys who couldn’t have been any nicer. My wife and I had a wonderful day and thank you. Terry and Leah

Great course, but check the weather forecast

This is a fun links style course. Greens are huge and in great shape. Course can be relatively easy if the wind is cooperating, but can be incredibly difficult if it is not. Can easily have a 3-4 club wind. There are some fun risk/reward holes.

Overall a fun course, and decent value!

Another enjoyable day on the Links

Another enjoyable day on the Links. I always enjoy playing the course, since it is always in great shape. The greens are fast which really challenges you. The day was perfect with light winds with the temperatures near 70. Looking forward to getting back to play the course again.

Comparable to Pebble Beach

Absolutely stunning views from nearly every hole. The wind and the fog are unpredictable and add to the difficulty. If you're near Santa Rosa it is certainly worth the drive.
