Chardonnay Golf Club

The course conditions have gotten worse this year, several areas where it appears the sprinkler system are broken, the tee boxes used to be very good, now a lot of them are in poor condition.

I have played this course multiple times, so I was looking forward to playing this past weekend. For the $ I paid to play there, you'd think they would be able to keep the course in good condition.

The round took five hours to complete. There wasn’t a starter or on-course marshall which may have improved the pace of play. The bunkers were unplayable. They were like concrete, or filled with standing water. The tee boxes were also in poor condition, and there were several fairways that had dead spots.

The greens are the only part of the course that seems to be maintained.

I won't be coming back here.

I've been playing this course for 35 years. Back then Chardonnay was the fanciest course in the North Bay. But with inflation, it's obvious they don't have the revenue to maintain the course, which is the case for most of the courses in California. Golfers will not pay $100 per round, so we're stuck paying $60 per round, for poor tee boxes, unplayable bunkers, and barren fairways, squishy sink holes from broken irrigation. I blame SACRAMENTO!

The recommended pace is 4 hours 40 minutes, but there was no staff to control the pace. The first half was finished in 3 hours, and the second half was finished in 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Chardonnay under the new CourseCo management has fallen out of my rotation. I had a choice where to play and I choose wrong.

Lets start with the no's on the course

No marshall to help with the pace of play

No garbage cans

One Water filling station and it was empty

Dead grass on the tee boxes

And the bunkers are the worst in the Bay Area including Glen Eagles and probably courses that have been closed, but I've know that since the pandemic and play anyways.

No more... done.

No buckets for balls at range,I walked over and picked up a bunch and brought back to the ball machine. Then the balls were filthy and half were so old and beat up that they were unusable. The course has seen better days and the greens were patchy with something that looks like they had fought off a fungus. The pace of pay was ridiculously slow. 5.5 hours waiting at every hole and every shot.

Green and Fairway are good. Bunkers are in really bad shape, no sands.

Weather was fabulous Pace of play the best

Friendly staff

Introduced some new friends and they were amazed at the quality and pricing

Course was in great shape and the weather couldn't have been better. Had a little wind to add a little more thought to the course management aspect of the game.

Senior day is Wed. Tee’d off at 3:24 and finished after 8pm.

No cart person

No Marshall

No starter.

I was a bit disappointed when playing here. Yes it is for the most part green and in decent shape. Still had brown spots which is expected for summer time. However not as nice as I remember. Very disappointed with there bunkers. They put no effort in keeping them nice & if they did would be a top course in the area. Bunkers were just clay with no sand and half of them had puddles of water in them. Which they would put some more effort into keeping the bunkers real and playable.

Last played there over a year ago and the traps were in bad shape. This time even worse. Sad, it's one of my favorite courses in the wine country.

As a long time player at Chardonnay Golf Club I have seen ups and downs in the facility. There were many poor reviews in early summer, and rightfully so. The course was very dry and tee boxes dead (should be noted this was due to major irrigation system repairs needed due to the age of the infrastructure).

Management has corrected many of these issues and the course is playing much better again. Tees, fairways and greens are much better and a joy to play (bunkers are still poor).

I have very much enjoyed my rounds at Chardonnay Golf Club over the last couple of weeks and look forward to the continued improvement.

This course and Eagle Vines are our 2 favorite courses in Napa area. We knew the pace of play would be slow. We had to waited at every hole starting with #1. We ended the round in 5 hours, so, it was not bad, especially such a nice day. However, the group behind of us hit into us twice, once we were on the green and without apology. One of the players works for Golf Moose, so, etiquette should not be an issue.

Golf Moose so bad.

This is not a 3rd rate golf course - do something aboit it.

I was very shocked of the course conditions. It was the driest I’ve ever seen. Needs a lot of water
