Chardonnay Golf Club

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!

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

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

Tough greens, windy conditions, great course, but super slow pace

Chardonnay Golf Club is usually a great place to enjoy a round of golf. During a Saturday round we were not only late to start our tee time but were unable to finish 18 holes. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes and with no staff on-site after 5pm to call in slow play or carts that have died. A truly disappointing round of golf at a course that had been fun to play in the past.

The golf carts are newer. Tea box's and fairways are in great shape. I guess since it's not heavily tree populated the sun germinates seed well. The sand traps are about average. The greens are quite firm and don't hold well which is unusual in February. The course is very spread out. Sometimes a long minute driving between holes. Although it didn't feel like it our round took 5.25 hours. We had to wait a minute on about half our shots.. That's @ an hour longer than usual on Sacramento and Roseville courses. They shouldn't allow walking since there's a couple hundred yards or more between most holes. Overall a nice layout with lush fairways. Worth the 60 mile drive as far as I'm concerned.

This course is always a challenge for me (I am a new golfer), but today even more so. Today was sunny, yet super windy... I probably lost a dozen balls today. I skipped around the course, because people were in groups of 4 or 5 and moving slowly. I skipped about 3 holes. Overall, I enjoyed myself and will come back in the spring on a nice day when I am a better golfer.

Enjoyed the course but waited extensively on every hole.

Fairways are barren and a total of 4 carts died ahead of us and ours too! Terrible pins as well for amateur golf!

Haven't play Chardonnay for few years and decide to take a long drive there and try. Course is in very good condition for the value. Green is well maintained and offer a lot of challenges. Well play there again.

I have seen this course for many years, but haven't had a chance to play it because it is semi-private and it is a long drive.

This is my first experience with this course:

I walked in to sign in, the person behind the desk was alone and didn't even say good morning or recognize that I was there. After about 10 seconds I said good morning and he responded. (Dude, if you don't like to greet people or if you are not happy, go get another job somewhere else).

I noticed a sign that the practice range was closed. I always arrive an hour early to warm up and practice.

Next was that it was cart path only because it had rained 3 days prior to this day. This was a bummer.

After walking around in the store, I finally bought a shirt and wanted to check in, he wouldn't let me get a cart yet, but this was because my playing partner had the golf moose coupons. I guess it is his way of showing off his minimal authority. Would it really hurt to give me a cart 5 minutes early so I can get my cart set up.

Just before it was our foursome time to tee off, we notice that the 2 groups in front of us were fivesomes.

What kind of crap is that? They must have been special. Boy were they slow. They were 1-1/2 holes behind pace. (The course marshal came by at least 5 or 6 times throughout the round, but he didn't care.

The next thing I noticed was the group behind us, one of the guys had his dog with him. It was a nice friendly dog, but he allowed it to run loose. He had a tennis ball that he hit with his club so the dog would chase and retrieve the ball. WHAT kind of club allows this? Again, the course marshal let this go. Maybe next time I will bring my dog and horse.

The course has it's good looking areas and bad looking areas. Overall it is a good looking course with some good scenery. At one point, if you look hard, you can see the top of one of the towers of the Golden Gate bridge.

The greens seem large, and the are very hilly which makes for some fun putts. There are a few greens that if you are in the wrong spot, you will need to putt over the fairway and fringe.

There are a few holes with forced layups, as I recall, one of the holes does have a rock that tells you what the distance is to the hazard is.

One thing that i did notice was that some of the golfers smoke cigars and they flick their ashes on the greens and leave it there for others to work around, and I found at least a dozen cigar butts on the ground. Why can't you lazy people clean up your mess.

On the 6th hole, my electric cart started to die, I had to have the other cart in our group give me a push the rest of the way on the front nine. I went in and explained the cart died and they brought out another cart in a few minutes.

Overall I really like the course, but I dislike the staff, they ARE NOT FRIENDLY (Maybe because we were not members).

I am not likely to return any time soon.

I hope the management of this facility reads this review because you really need to fix things.

Played here for the first time. Course layout is awesome, the price is great and if you like walking it’s a great walk with good views! Bonus is big nice greens.

Love this course layout. The conditions make it even more challenging (lots of brown spots/hardpan).

The #1 handicap par 5 is my nemesis :-(

Excellent course and a terrific test of golf.. Great variation and fun to play. Greens were rolling true and well protected by bunkers thru out. Great course and I will be playing it many times in the future.
