I like Kennedy

I've played this course for years. In general it's well maintained. There's just enough difficulty to it to make it challenging but not so much as to make it torture. Now that they've improved the bunkers (real sand, thank you!) it's a good course. The pace of play varies -- slower in the mornings and opening up in the afternoon. Its clientele tend to be very pleasant, waving you through if you're a faster, more capable golfer. My only objection is that it's got a few areas without grass that seem just too large. Otherwise, book it and enjoy!

Napa Kennedy

Great value at $25 even with recently plugged greens. Some hole gorgeous, some beat up. Greens were fair...some serious fungus. Played in 3 hours as twosome weekday.

Well worn public course in Napa

I have played the Napa golf course at Kennedy Park many times but this time was the mist disturbing. Newly added GPS devices on the carts did not work and the course was in extremely poor condition.

Because of the drought, it is not unusual to see some brown spots in fairways. There were more than a few. Most marked as Ground Under Repair. In addition, many of the greens were showing bald spots and very very uneven. Putting was more of an adventure that driving the fairways.

A course with lots of water hazards, if you don't find the fairways you can lose a lot of balls.

Maybe we will have a wet winter and this course will recover but right now it is a mess.

Napa Municipal - Rough Course Condition

since I live in Napa and play this course more this summer this is the first time I have played where I was disappointed in it's condition. There was standing water everywhere, it's like they think overwatering will help the fairway grasses grow.
the fairways were spotty with grass, the greens were in very bad shape lots of bare spots only a couple looked like they should have, overall I was not happy with the course conditions. But as we all know golf courses can go south quickly but and recover as well with a little tlc and a superintendent that knows his business.
Overall I will not play at Napa Muni for awhile too many excellent conditioned courses around to play. While Napa Muni recovers, let's hope it does..

Very good value

Tee time at 330 pm on Saturday. More crowded than I thought. Also the course does not honor a Golf Now price as a walk on as I showed the attendant the GN price on my phone but they do not accept or change their price at the counter. It was fine as I booked on line and got my play for $20 versus their $40. The attendant however was very good and cool about it. Course in pretty good condition given drought, earthquake etc. fun for all levels but I f you are a 4 handicap or less l this course probably too easy. For above that, this proves to be a fun and reasonable test of your golf skills. holes 10-13 are beautifully set in the woods. Charming. Greens are spongy though and slow - makes for uneven putting day. Great value and fun day though pace was slow as many walk, which is good but with a cart you can get backed up but that can be said for many courses.. No matter, for $20 on a late afternoon tee time, great value...

this course was a mess

The course was in horrible condition. Standing water and dead spots everywhere on the course. I have played here many times and loved it before. I think it is owned by the city and with the resources spread thin because of the earthquake I understand.

Napa Municipal Golf Friiday morning golf

Staff was very friendly, and the facility was clean, but the course was a mess.
1. Most of the greens (14 or 15) were in very poor condition, like they were cut too short and had been burnt by the sun which has now died
2. The fairways had lots of areas of "ground under repair", which were really dead spots of grass
3. I managed to get into 2 sand traps, good lies in the middle of the traps, but there was only 1/4" of sand covering the very firm clay earth beneath the sand
4. Our group had too wait 4 different times for the greens keepers to finish cutting the greens on the back 9, which I could see if it was early in our round but this was about 10am, 2 1/2 hours into our round when the mowing should have already been completed for the day

Good course for the price

Good layout, an easy course to walk, with fair amount of challenge due to many water hazards. Fairways in good condition considering drought. Some greens have some damaged areas. Still enjoy playing this course very much.

Poor Conditions

This is the first time that I felt strongly enough to take the time a write a review. We paid $20 with cart and considering the course conditions, I would have to say that was too much. They have almost lost the fairways...good luck finding a patch of grass to hit off. A couple of the holes had a horrible sulfur smell.

a forgetable experience

the reviews online make the course sound great. Compared to other courses in the area Napa golf course does not stack up well. The overall experience was one I put in the category of a very average muni course

Good iron play a required

I have played this course many time over the past 25 years. The condition of the course is a mixed bag. The fairways are OK and getting better. The women's tees need to be moved up on almost every hole. The greens are pretty good but they are firm and do not hold your approach shot very well. Almost all of the greens are elevated. Allow for some roll out on these greens. The bunkers are mostly in very poor condition. Don't let the yardage fool you. It plays longer than the actual "book" yardage. However this is a good test of golf on a course that was a Monday qualifier for old PGA event at Silverado in Napa.
