Chardonnay Golf Club

they clearly overbooked the course during a holiday week. we only got through 15 holes in 4.5 hours. No Marshall to move people along Sad when they have increased rates with more play with COVID boom.

Wife bought birthday Gift Certs for myself and a friend. Used part for green fee and was told we could use balance in pro shop. Was not told we could use for food in restaurant. Day started with a driving range that was hitting off of weeks. Worse than the cheapest pubic city course i have ever played in in my 50 years playing. Pace of play was just fair and there were some bad spots on the course as far as condition. However that is not the bad part. We made the turn and ordered lunch on the nineth tee. Picked up food and got back out on course. Opened food on the 11th tee to find not what i ordered. Called the restaurant and they said to come back but that made no sense at all so told them i would accept a refund when i was done and they agreed. when we returned, went to get refund and was given a hard time by what appeared to be the food manager . He finally asked the cook and confirmed i did not get what i ordered and gave me some money back.

Then my friend and I went to the pro shop to use our balances to find the pro shop that was supposed to be open till 5pm was locked up at 4 pm. We walked around to find no one at administration or the GM office at all. After about a half hour we finally got on the road and our 1 1/2 hour drive home. For a month i have been leaving messages with the head pro who sold my wife the certificates to get the balances refunded. Messages have been left at the GM office but have been told he had resigned before the date we played.. Talked to the pro shop and they did nothing. It has been over a month now and NO CALL FROM THEM AT ALL AND NO CREDIT FOR THE BALANCES!!!!!! This course could care less!!!

I played on the 17th of November, this was the slowest pace of play ever. We encountered multiple 5 person groups which made the play really slow. Everyone behind us was frustrated. The big group actually told us they were playing with 5 people and to be patient. We quickly passed the next hole just to find another 5 person group and had to pass them up also. This happened 3 different times. Very poor management to let people like this slow down the groups behind them. Then to tell us to be patient with them. JUST LET US GO THROUGH IF THEY ARE THAT SLOW!! Common courtesy!

This course is very nice and challenging. The greens are very fast. Putting is challenging. Anyway this is the course that I love.

Course should not give Teetimes behind Napa Valley College student practice. Made for us only getting 14 holes in and it was dark.

Good course design with great views. Everything was good except for the bunkers which just need sand. Would definitely play here again.

Very nice layout, beautiful surroundings. We hit it on a somewhat / cold day, so played more difficult than I think it would normally play. Good variety of shots required, and very fair.

Biggest complaints were the status of the bunkers (no sand, hard clay with pebbles in may spots) and the cart paths are in pretty poor shape.

We expected that we would be able to finish 18holes within 4-4.5hours. But the course seemed to be over booked or poorly paced, which caused the pace of play extremely slow. We had to wait at least 10 minutes at almost every tee box to tee up. We ended up finishing just 14 holes (which took us 5hours!!!), and had to skip the last 4 holes. It wasn’t a fun experience.

Almost all was good, except the sand needs raking.

Decent course. Reasonable rates. The bar/restaurant is terrible. Worse than most muni courses. Awesome playing among the vineyards, but that’s about it. Course is not properly cared for, wet and muddy in spots, choppy greens. Staff is extremely unhelpful and acted like they didn’t want to be there. I’d recommend based on the rate and scenery.

I am a local and this is my favorite public course to play in the valley. Usually in great condition - wish it was a tiny bit cheaper but all in all, the layout is so fun and playable.

Greens had been sanded so very tough putting.

the group in front was VERY slow. took us over 5 hours to play. When I said something to the marshalll he want me to play catch with his dog! " Throw the ball you will feel better!"

i don.t think so!!!

Disappointed that Golf now website did not indicate that the greens were aeriated the day before my reservations. greens were plugged and heavily covered in sand (up to 1/8 - 1/4 inch deep in spots).

Course is starting to show some ware and tear over the years. Most bunkers are filled with very wet sand/mud and could use some TLC. Cart paths are rougher than driving on the course (cement buckling everywhere).

I've always enjoyed Chardonay's layout, and hope they can put some money in the course to repair these problems before it makes the course not enjoyable.

This course is somewhat challenging for average golfers. Most of the greens were guarded by sand bunkers. Love to play this course again.
