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.

Love the track, but value still not fully there

This is a great, challenging but fair course. Tee boxes, fairways and greens we’re all in great condition. Like most courses here in the valley, the traps are really just dirt which makes for very interesting escapes green side.

I love playing the course but typically it is overpriced most of the year. Fall and winter rates make it better but there are so many choices of great course that offer a better overall value.

If you haven’t played Chardonnay, hurry up and do so, especially right now where the weather is the best and the rates match the value.

Was good

Used to be one of my go to places to play. I went out after 1pm in hopes of finding the course with fewer people on it, It was, but they had a number of fivesomes out there that ruined my hopes of a quick round. If they continue fivesomes not worth the time.

Playing through The Vineyards

Excellent day for golf. The temperature was 77 degrees, sunshine, and a beautiful golf course winding through the Vineyards. The pace of play was excellent, and a few tough holes to keep you on your toes (#5,#7, #15). The course has wide open fairways for the most part and if you do hit into the Vineyards (not to deep) You can find your ball pretty easily. I would definitely play this course again and the next time I’ll stop off at the 19th hole and enjoy the libations.

Chardonnay is always a challenge, links courses require patience and accuracy. The greens and pin positions will eat you alive. Never boring.

Nice course

1st time I played this course. Course was in great shape. Generous fairways made getting around the course pretty easy. Greens are interesting, multiple levels and varying widths and lengths. Greens in great shape, putts rolled very true. Very friendly service, pro shop, cart barn, restaurant.

Most excellent

Course is in great shape. Par 72. Its unique with 6 par 3, 4, and 5’s. Lots of scoring opportunity. Greens run true and is in incredible shape. Very forgiving course with some challenging par 5’s. Excellent staff and great watering hole too.

Awesome Course

Chardonnay is an awesome course. The greens are FANTASTIC! It is a challenging, but fair course. Like many courses these days, the pace was slow; unfortunately. The person at the front desk was not very friendly, but the person who greeted me at the bag drop off was very helpful and friendly.
