The Sea Ranch Links
Designed by Robert Muir Graves and completed in 1974, the first nine holes at The Sea Ranch Golf Links jumped onto the list of exciting and scenic golf destinations. In 1995 this “Gem of the Seaside” links was completed at 6649 yards, par 72, when Graves’ second nine was opened. The course’s blend of undulating seaside landscape with Scottish links-style architecture was a first on the West Coast. The Sea Ranch Golf Links remains one of the most challenging golf experiences in California and unique on the North Coast.
With well maintained greens and several different tee boxes per hole, The Sea Ranch Golf Links can be as challenging or as docile as you prefer to make it. Two short game areas, which include a practice putting green and a pitching/bunker green, as well as a full grass driving range, allow for complete warm up before your round or the ability to work on your game when needed. Golf carts, a well appointed golf shop and a snack bar round out The Sea Ranch Golf Links experience.
The Links experience at The Sea Ranch blends with the overall master plan in its high aspirations to sit "lightly on the land" and respect the natural terrain, weather, wind, and our natural limited resources. The difference between a links golf course and a regular course is that the golfer is forced to work with the natural elements of the course. The links course is not manufactured and maintains the original lay of the land. This emulates how it was in the earliest days of the game. We value our sustainability, not over grooming the wilder landscape of the Sonoma Coast and our strict use of watering on the course. All of this creates a challenging game in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

History
Designed by Robert Muir Graves and completed in 1974, the first nine holes at The Sea Ranch Golf Links jumped onto the list of exciting and scenic golf destinations. In 1995 this “Gem of the Seaside” links were completed at 6649 yards, par 72 when Graves' second nine was opened. The course's blend of undulating seaside landscape with Scottish links-style architecture was a first on the West Coast. The Sea Ranch Golf Links remains one of the most highly regarded golf experiences in California and unique on the North Coast. Graves said, "This is the closest I've ever come to a true links course, and it reminds me of Scotland every time I look at it." Roughs by the Sea, flattish and links-like, the course, a former sheep ranch, prowls along the sea with fields of sea oats and sea sage serving as pesky roughs that often sway right through the fairways. The trick is to stay in the smooth grass landing areas. Hourglass-like, it pinches through a hedgerow of cypress planted by sheepherders as a wind- break around the turn of the century.
