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.

Lonnnnnnng, windy, day

First off, the staff was great, and the course was in fabulous condition. The greens were quick, and the pin placements were tough but fair. Fairways were fabulous, and the views are awesome.

6hrs to finish? It took an hr and 30 minutes just to get to the 5th tee box where we found, not one, but two groups waiting. 3 groups on a single tee box is not a good look, and it wasn't even the 5some in front of us that was slow. they were great. When I called the Pro-Shop and asked them to send a marshal out, they told me that one had already talked to the guilty party. I guess they didn't get the message, because the rest of the round was just as slow.

Would I come back here? Maybe, if someone else booked the tee time, and I didn't have anything better to do. There are just too many courses within a 20 minute drive of this place that also have good conditions, and fast greens to justify spending another 6hrs walking around a golf course surrounded by vineyards.

Fairways were in great shape. Greens and traps could use a little work.

Course was dry enough except for a few holes to be on 90 degree rule. Other than that, it was fun.

Cart path

Course was dry enough to have carts at 90 degrees. Some holes are wet and golfers knows to pratique common sense and exercise the cart path only rule on those holes. Other than that, me and my partner had a great time!

It should be back to 90 degree rule and not cart path only. Course is dry enough for carts to go in and out.

Snail's pace -

Cart path only - fine. Waiting on every hole ~10m not so fine. I quit after 5 - hour and a half.

Seems golfers confuse the course for a park.
