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.

Golf in the wine country

Nice layout. Some easy, some hard holes. Large greens have lots of slope. Par 5 7th was a 20m wait. Folks can't quite figure out how to manage the ravine in front of the green. Quick pace till then, with wait on each hole thereafter. Save for the 5hr round, great bargain.

Slow

Course in good condition. Fun course to play, but today it was brutally slow. Tee off at 11:30 and finished just before 5pm. A round of golf should never take that long.

Great day at the course. Clean air!!

The fairways and the greens are looking pretty good. Actually, the greens are in great shape, and the fairways are in a better state than many of the other golf courses close by.

Pace of play was great.

It would be nice if you’d re-open the snack bar between 9 and 10.

Greens recently aerated. Not a problem.

Another good day at Chardonnay.

Great staff who treat you well.

The course had recently been aerated, which didn’t really affect the game.
