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.

Lucky weather

Like any coastal course you need good weather and oh man did we get it.
If you get the weather we did, that course might be one of the most beautiful courses in NorCal

No driving range had to remove a star. Warm up net area is decent forsure. But that hole 1 dog leg right over million $ homes all made of windows from the tips, your gonna wanna see some ball flight before hitting that tee shot

Must play course
