Chardonnay Golf Club

Course was in great shape considering it's winter conditions. Did not use or see any on course amenities.

Had a great breakfast and planned to walk but were encouraged to use a cart. Glad we did as a few holes would have been a hike. I was nervous after reading reviews but it was a fun challenging course and we’ll be back!

Drove a fair distance to experience what is touted as a premier course. Much has changed since my last round here several years ago. Driving range was out of balls because no one had taken "the picker" out to retrieve the ones that had been hit previously. Fairways had large areas that were either muddy or hard and barren, Majority of traps had no sand, and a good many had standing water. Overall, the greens were in decent shape. Women in the group will experience a porta-potty on the back nine filled nearly to the brim with waste. All of this can be had at any local muni course for a fraction of the price.

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.
