Chardonnay Golf Club
About
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.

Elevated tee, what a view. If you turn around and use a spotting scope, you can see the top of one tower of the Golden Gate bridge Photo submitted by Titaniumhen on 12/21/2020

great twosome
pace okay since we followed a tournament. conditions juist beautiful. golf partner just great. needed to work out minor difficulties with swing but he did it before we finished. just beautiful to see him finish last two holes magnificently with great drives over 250 yards. wish i could afford to play this course more often. just great.
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.
Sanded greens
Wasn’t told the back nine was closed until we got there then the back up on one through nine was incredible don’t play here again
Very nice and beautiful course
This place is usually too expensive for me but with the Hot Deals , I tried it and loved it. Please keep offering Hot Deals.
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.
Greens are rolling
Great time to be golfing In Napa great course and the condition are great especially the greens and fairways are great
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.
Got greens !
The course is in excellent condition now and the beautiful mustards flowers add to the beauty of the winery the greens are in great shape and the fairways as well
Great job guys!
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
Great course
Tough greens, windy conditions, great course, but super slow pace
