BODEGA BAY, Calif. - The New Links at Bodega Harbour is a result of an extensive renovation by management company Kemper Sports, which included the widening of fairways, rebuilding of bunkers and reseeding of the poa annua greens to bentgrass. The original layout is one of Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s earliest, with the first nine holes dating back to 1976.
The golf course sits on Sonoma coastline overlooking the Pacific Ocean, which can lead to high winds in the afternoon. The golf course is short, playing just under 6,300 yards from the championship tees. There are two back-to-back par 3s on the front nine. No. 16 and 17 are walking-only, so groups must park their cart and pick it back up before moving onto the 18th.
Located in Bodega Bay on the Sonoma Coast, The New Links at Bodega Harbour is about 60 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
