Sitting at the gateway to the renowned Napa Valley wine district, Chardonnay Golf Club meanders through acres of lush Chardonnay and Merlot vineyards dotted with sparkling lakes and wandering creeks. Native flora and fauna cover the golf course, which also provides a home for an abundance of wildlife including hawks, foxes, bobcats, and even the occasional golden eagle. Besides the spectacular setting, the layout provides one of the most challenging rounds in the area. The rolling landscape provides interesting elevation changes and there are plenty of mature trees coming into play. Several holes also feature water hazards and strategically placed bunkers. Chardonnay Golf Club's greens are lightning fast and the course plays long. One of the most memorable holes, both for the scenery and level of difficulty is the par-3 eighth. This hole is framed by stunning views of the Valley and it requires some clever shotmaking skills.

Chardonn-Yeah

This course is in great shape right now. Fairway were a bit wet in some places but overall very nice. Greens held the ball and rolled true and fast. I would recommend playing this course ASAP

Great location in Napa

I love to play this course because it is pretty much challenging with various levels of difficulty. I would recommend this course to my friends.

Great course layout

The course has a great layout. Each hole was uniquely interesting. The fairways and greens are large, which made it fun to play. I played probably one (1) tee box too far back for my driver distance, which made the par 4’s hard to reach in two (2). The greens have lots of contours. Green speeds, I would guess 8-10, about right. Speed was fairly consistent green to green. The bunkers could use additional sand. They had shallow hard sand: good for fairway bunker, not so good for the green side bunkers. I look forward to the next round.

Great layout

Had a great time playing this course. Layout was cool with lots of hazards to keep me thinking about the shot I was going to play. It may have been 95 degrees but the cart girl saved my bacon whenever she came along.

Great course, slow play

Beautiful course in Napa with spectacular views. Good value for hot deal on a Saturday. It did come at a price with a 5 hour 15 min round of golf.

Great round

Weather was perfect and views are even better. I enjoy how quite this course is. No houses or traffic or anything. Fairways are generous. Greens are small and oddly shaped with lots of undulation, but weren't too fast or anything. Pace was amazing. Sunday morning round and we didnt wait for anyone and had no one behind us.

Slow Pace of Play. Where were the Marshalls?

5 hour round, waiting on each hole, almost on each swing. Foursome ahead of our group quickly fell behind the groups ahead of them. No Marshalls to be found to encourage them to speed up or skip a hole (or two). Excruciating pace ruined an otherwise beautiful day at Chardonnay.
