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.

Chardonnay wait

Had a tee time of 12:27. Arrived at 12:00 and found out there were no carts available. The people behind the counter were not very helpful and knew very little about the situation and the cart availability. .We had to wait over an hour for carts. We played all 18 holes and did not leave the course until 6:00. So the total time was 6 hours. This is way too long. We have played other courses around the Napa area and have not had trouble like this at any other course. Very disappointing.

Courses to play

Course was in great shape. Staff kept everything moving. Only complaint ,would have been nice to have flagsticks to see pin location. Other courses have flagsticks that no one removes which is better.

It is a long walk

I have played Chardonnay since it was 3 / 9s and a private course. I have always loved the course. Never felt that even when I was young that it would be an easy walk especially if you are carrying your bag. My best friend and I played today I had a push cart and he carried. It was so fun to get out and hit the ball the weather was perfect and conditions were great. It was a great round but bring a push / pull cart. There are some long uphill carries on the back 9 and they do not have pull / push carts to rent. The Range is open pulled up cups are cheating but I got to golf. Thank You Chardonnay

A great change of pace

The course was is good shape . Playing with raised cups with no pins was a trip. . Harder to see the holes but easier once you did with middle of the green placements. . The wind picks up after noon but just another challenge. The staff has gone to great lengths to open this course and I for one appreciate their efforts!. A wonderful day!

Bad!

Me and the rest of my golf buddies was devastated, because the reservation say, cart included. Apparently its not, we did not bring our pull cart, so we had to carry our bags. We eneded up playing 11 holes only! We even called the proshop and and double chameck regarding golf cart and they said it goes with the game.

Chardonnay sucks

I got an email that Chardonnay was open even thru the COVID19 requirements "if" we follow certain instructions. Well it was too good to be true, but i booked a round of golf just to find out it was closed. I don't believe it was GolfNow's fault, they had to have gotten their info from Chardonnay itself. So when Napa did shut down the golf course, they didn't have the courtesy to send another email BACK to us and let us know, but had us drive to Napa just to get turned away. Chardonnay should refund us our booking fee since our gas and toll won't be refunded, it's the least they could do. They knew the same day they sent out the email it was shutdown. A simple return email would have saved you. Shame on you Chardonnay!!!!

Played today. Nice day on the course!

Only issue is that the fairways are drying out / the ball rolls forever! Actually, for me, that’s a good thing!

Friendly staff, across the board.

Complete golf course

Of all the courses I play in the area, this course actually has sand in it's bunkers. The course is well maintained. I was asked several times during the round if I needed any food or drink. The pace of play was good. I'm very pleased with this course and will play it as often as possible.
