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.

Pace of play

We started at 2:33 pm. After the 3rd hole the pace of play was terrible. There were people walking the course who were in their 70s. SLOW. Also, people playing that had no idea they were holding up players behind them.

I blame this on the fact that we never saw a Marshall on the course. And too many people were allowed on the course at the same time, especially in the afternoon when the price of a tee time was the lowest. I blame the management completely for this. Simply unacceptable. This could be a great golf course, and maybe at one time it was, but not now.

First Time This Year

It's been a while since i've been back to play. The day was warm & windy. The course was in great shape, the only issue was the greens had just been aerated. However, that didn't spoil the day. Always enjoy playing the course since it is excellent shape.

Great Course- Need Better Pace of Play

Everything about the round we played was awesome except for the fact that it took 5.5 hours to play. The front 9 was 3 hours. A ranger did come several times, told us first there was a tournament, then that there was a slow group that had just been told to skip a hole. I never understand why courses think it's ok to allow slow play just because there is a tournament. That is not a valid excuse. They should be marshaled along at a reasonable pace just like everyone else.

Winter Special

Enjoyable round in early afternoon on a very windy day. We carried and finished in 4:10. Course in nice condition; firm greens still held well-struck balls. Putting at the mercy of the wind. Brilliant mustard in the surrounding vineyards provided beautiful backdrop. Nice to see rakes in bunkers again.

Crazy start

Great course. Very good time but they need a starter because no one knew what was going on

Started as a threesome behind a twosome behind sic students and a coach. Then things got crazy. Another guy joined us making us 4. He was a member who seemed mad at everyone. He played a few holes then quit. The 2 ladies I was playing with and the 2 in front of us jumped the 6 that where slowing things down, which left me a single. Eventually I got bay up to the 4 I with making us 5. But still had to wait on groups of 2, and 3sums on the back 9 Very slow round. Get a marshall. It was out of control Great course

Good course, way too slow!!

Course is great however way too over packed. Have played on a few occasions never under 5hrs. No weekday Marshall and way too many tee times per hour. Would recommend if your an early riser however don’t expect to squeeze 18 at twilight here
