No, I do not golf! But having long-time friends who own a vacation home on this amazing golf course, I can definitely say the Links at Bodega Harbour has the most spectacular ocean views that rival the golf courses in Hawaii. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, "in a true challenging Scottish style links course"...is how the fairway is described by the Links at Bodega Harbour website. What is not mentioned is the various types of weather you may encounter! But the locals and return visitors know and come prepared for howling, cold wind, dense fog or beautiful sunny skies depending upon the time of year and time of day. Weather delays? Not here. Be prepared to play no matter what!:) For the best golf in Sonoma County, the Links at Bodega Harbour is the place! Breathtaking views, abundant wildlife, and a challenging day of golf. Hit 'em straight!

My experience golfing there was fun. I especially liked there takeout foodie window at the turn. Cool staff was very busy and everyone was very patient. Food was amazing and prices were so reasonable. They do offer a military discount and a teachers golf fee discount which was nice since I am an athletic teacher. Pace of play was slow in the beginning but opened up as the day moved on. Best holes in my opinion were 16, 17 & 18 which were very challenging.

Awesome right on the ocean, I loved the course , although it requires a lot of course knowledge for first time playing. The 17th is 140 ish yards we hit 6 / 5 irons into the wind that day. Up hill/ down hill are tricky ( specially with winds) like I said it on the ocean awesome ? ? ?

Our tee time was set at 10 am. The weather was very cold, not surprisingly, to a previous native from Monterey County golf courses. During the summertime, it is always cloudy and overcast until early afternoon. In Bodega Bay, it's clear and cloudy throughout the day. This golf course has spectacular views matching those in Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach to a certain degree. The pace was pretty good, giving we were before the late morning and early afternoon rush at 11 am. The staff are great and the shop pro gives great advice and is very friendly. I tend to stay humble and converse with an open ear to those who have more experience than I do. Anyway, again, great views and overall a great golf course. By the way, it is a pretty challenging course even for those who play often there.

The Links at Bodega Harbor is an excellent course. Well maintained fairways and greens. Helpful staff. The course is not too tough. Reasonably forgiving. A must try. Just 1.5 hours drive from Fremont.

Nice place. Course is crazy but you need a map and information about the holes.

The only links / seaside golf course in Sonoma county that's enjoyable. (Sea Ranch is a cow pasture not worthy of your time nor money).I thoroughly enjoyed my game today. The course is a mixture of three themes. Those being: 1. Challenging up and down topography. Severe changes in elevation and slopes. Sometimes I almost feared tipping the cart over on the sideways inclines.2. Back holes 10 - 15 are wide open. Almost boring, not really challenging for a golfer with less than a 10 handicap.3. Holes 16 & 17 are the weirdest two holes I have ever played. You abandon the cart. Get a push cart. Walk across a 150 yard wooden walkway in the middle of a brackish marsh that has 15 foot tall reeds. Hit the ball of those reeds to the holes. When done with these holes you trek back to your motorized cart and proceed to #18.I was told that this course is a delight when the weather is warm, sunny, mild and calm. And that it is pure golfer hell when the wind is howling. My experience today was grim grey skies and 10 mph winds. I played well enough.I plan to return soon. Too much fun.

Without question the most beautiful course in Sonoma County. Best advice is book an as early as possible tee time. It tends to get really windy later in the day. This is a very fair course and will challenge every aspect of your game. Walking 18 is not for the faint of heart. The pro shop has a great selection of needs, local canned beers in a refrigerator, friendly staff and a substantial residential discount for green fees. Order food from your cart or mobile app and pick it up at the turn. I don't normally eat when I'm playing but can say it all looks great. Things that would improve the experience is more water stations on the course; I'm part camel and consume copious amounts of water. The warmup facilities are straight forward and meant to give you the chance to groove a swing in a batting cage like unit. You may not get to see majestic range swings but you can feel if you're striking the ball properly which is enough for me at least. Parking is convenient and albeit small sections there has always been a spot on the most full days.

The course was in great condition. The only thing is it was very foggy and we could see too much of the views or full holes until the we got a hole or two into the back nine. The layout seemed nice and Look forward to playing again on another day I can see everything.

OMG. We had tee time this past Wednesday at 9am. We drove up from the City. I don't know about Bodega Bay but in San Francisco we've got our best weather in September October timeframe. As we drove closer and closer to Bodega Bay it became apparent the weather wasn't going to resemble San Francisco's. It was blanketed in dense fog. Like zero visibility. I went into the pro shop. I asked if there was a weather delay. Nope. He said to imagine I was in Scotland. Our tee time was at 9am. We were there at 8:30am. So the four of us teed off at 9am. We didn't have a clue to the course layout. We were following this twosome, one who was a newbie. After awhile they allowed us to play through them. The starter gave us a heads up about hole 5. So we knew it was like a Z. That really helped. It wasn't until we were on the back nine that the fog finally lifted. Then we got to see the harbor and the ocean. Holes 16 & 17 you either carry your clubs or use one of the push carts they provide. Both holes are built over marsh land. Don't even try looking for your ball if it goes into the marsh. The course was in great shape. All in all we had a good time.

Very nice staff. Incredible course. The views from the back nine are breathtaking. Play requires some strategy. This can be a tough course if you are not careful. Looking forward to my next trip.

I can't say enough good things about this establishment!! I took my mom on a mother/daughter trip for the weekend. We were staying at one of the rental houses only a block away from the Links. Neither of us had ever golfed before so I decided to book a lesson for us. Our instructor was so awesome and so kind!!! We truly had the best experience!!! My fiancé likes to golf but I usually just sit in the golf cart and watch him play, now I feel confident enough to join him!! I will most definitely be going back soon!!! Once again, wonderful experience. Our instructor was so so nice and patient with us!!! I can't wait to go back!!
