The Links At Bodega Harbour
About
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.

Stunning views
About every time I got up to my ball I had to stop and appreciate the view. Bright blue water in the harbor underneath a beautiful course on the cliffs. Be careful of the houses surrounding the course. Some white flowers could make your ball hard to find, but they seemed to be mostly cleared in the areas my playing partner and I hit into. Greens were receptive and ran true. Don’t think I saw a pitch mark on the greens all day, despite being soft enough to land plenty of club on. Black tees were pretty manageable, with some pretty long par 3s on the front that I was rewarded for taking 3 wood on. Hole 5 is very challenging. Read the sign posted, then read it again. I’ll have to come back another time to keep my ball in bounds. Did get a birdie on 16 after driving the green. Fun to get aggressive there after being cautious for most of the course due to the surrounding neighborhood.
🙏 please put the flagsticks in the holes.
I was the first golfer out. On the front nine, exactly one pin was in the golf hole. That was on #4.
On a rainy and very foggy day- we all need an aim point to have a chance to go really low.... greens were in great shape, however!
Love the course.
Just absolutely love coming there to play. 16-18 are the best.
Halloween Fog
Played when it was foggy! It wasn’t supposed to be foggy but first time playing in it and did surprisingly well! Loved the course and thought everything was in good condition here! Will be back again and again hopefully next time with the sun!
Course info
Great time, great course!!! Only down fall was carts had to be in by 6:15 pm and was not told this at our 2 o’clock check-in but by staff at 5:30 out driving the course. Did not finish the last 3 holes
Take The Hike
The original mr chow review can fake a hike and save it!!!. This place is awesome and I’d wait all day on that 16-17-18 turn to take in what we just experienced. Those holes are fine being played slow, and the views having been already priceless were now more abundant. No way he waited an hour…
originalmrchow and his review can save it! This course is awesome each and every time. Been playing here for 20 years and it hasnt changed a bit…
And the staff is awesome.!
Thanks for the great golf each and every time!
In fact played a 4th of July tournament here once and they said they’d mail results. They didn’t. But the next time I was there they gave me 2 sleeves of pro-v for winning long drive. Didn’t even have to prove it.!!
What happened on 16-17-18?
We loved the first 15 holes. Great layout, fun holes, and fast greens.
Not sure what happened on 16 to the house.
Starting an hour behind the previous group, we caught them and everyone else on 16 tee.
As we watched them tee off, drive a hundred feet, take their bags off the cart and start walking down the path thru the marsh. After 10 plus minutes and seeing them finally get to the fairway, we decided to go to 18 tee. There were 3 groups playing 18 and it was a log jam.
Needles to say we were out.
If they offered a nice 15 hole rate we’d be back.
Reminiscent of Scotland
Beautiful course
Loves playing the course
A poor man's pebble beach
Hands down our favorite course that is accessible in Sonoma County.
Great Condition
Bodega is currently the best conditioned course in Sonoma County… as well as the best value if one scores a Hot Deal.
