2025 Sea Ranch - Day #1


Scrambling to get the car loaded and on the road, we pulled away from the house about 8:50 am. We are spending a long weekend at Sea Ranch to celebrate our birthdays.

The plan for the morning was to play nine holes at the Links at Bodega Harbour. We originally had a 11:30 am tee time. On the ride over, I called and slid the tee time to 11:50 am. With no stops, we pulled up into the parking lot a little after 11:15 am.

Playing by ourselves, it took us just over two hours to play nine. I was very surprised by the course. The front nine is very hilly; there is a lot of up and down. Sharon said that it reminded her of Apple Mountain without the trees. The views of the ocean and the coast were spectacular!

Sharon and I both struggled. I was very inconsistent. I had a number of shots that I was very happy with and an equal number that were awlful. I ended up with a very, very liberally scored 54.

After a quick stop at the Tides Restaurant for some smoked salmon, we headed towards Sea Ranch. Very unusually, we took Sharon's car and she drove the whole way.

We pulled into Gualala about 3:30 pm. After picking up the key, we did some shopping at the Surf Market. Afterwards, we headed into Sea Ranch. We are spending four nights at Monette. This is the fourth time that we have stayed at this house.


After getting settled in the house and enjoying the sunset, we headed to the Sea Ranch Lodge for dinner. After some oysters and splitting a farm mixed green salad, Sharon had the local halibut, while I had braised short ribs.

We crashed very early...
