Famed architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. oversaw extensive improvements
BODEGA BAY, Calif., March 6, 2009 – The Links at Bodega Harbour recently completed a $1.2 million golf course renovation project that includes widening the fairways, converting the greens from poa annua to bent grass, repositioning bunkers and improving the drainage system. Golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr., returned to The Links at Bodega Harbour to make the design enhancements that included re-grading all 18 greens and re-shaping 94 bunkers.
All of the improvements were made to enhance the overall golf experience with consideration to increased playability and providing excellent playing conditions throughout the year.
“The Links at Bodega Harbour is one of my early works that has been updated and refreshed in keeping with modern golf values,” said award-winning golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones, Jr. “The course is very playable and like every living organism, golf is a living game and played on living turf by people who enjoy life.”
“All of the improvements are intended to enhance the overall golf experience,” said Bob Harchut, General Manager at The Links at Bodega Harbour. “If you have not played the golf course recently, this is the time to do so. You have to try out ‘the new’ Links at Bodega Harbour.”
