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.

Pet friendly
Have played this course several times over the years. It’s always in pretty good condition and the pace of play is good. Today we brought our dog which the course allows. We had the second tee time of the morning as a twosome and finished in a little less than 3 hours.
Beautiful setting and spectacular greens
The greens are a gem in this course and of course the setting inside the vineyard, some holes play very long due to the wind.
Good Value
The course is well maintained and greens are in super condition. Lot's of crossing winds which makes it difficult. Today they had a tractor picking up the plugs from aeration. Couldn't play the hole.
Sand traps need better sand. Too hard and wet!!!
Unique layout 6 fives 6 threes and 6 fours, lots of fun beautiful scenery
Great course through the Napa vineyards
Really really fun course. If you're in Napa this is probably the best public course other than Silverado. The entire track winds through the vineyards. Each 9 has 3 par 3's, 3 par 4's, and 3 par 5's. Number 8 signature hole is a blast.
Good course
Beautiful Scenery. Greens were ok could have been better. Hole locations are terrible
Perfect golf
The round was perfect. Scenery is so beautiful it can be distracting. Loved the layout. Challenging but very fun!
Somewhat Slow, But Nice Course
Other than following a fivesome for nearly 5 hours, the round was quite enjoyable. I have played this course a few times over the last few years and this is the best condition it has been in by far. A few of the tees were chewed-up, but that’s the only complaint about condition. I played the back tees and it is a fair test of golf from there. If you can hit your drives at least 250 yards, this is where you should be playing. If not, there are a few other tees to choose from. The bottom line is, if you have time for golf around Napa, play Chardonnay golf club.
Good round with the vines
Nice day, staff friendly, course and greens in great shape, and beautiful vinyards surround the fairways and greens
Beautiful vistas
A very enjoyable round of golf. Many of the greens were just recently plugged and sanded. Not notified.
Wonderful time in the wine country
Shot my best round of the year. Great day and a great time.
Great Course
Course was in great condition / Views are spectacular
and staff was great. Had great time even when it rained
On us in the end !
Need to taste the wine next time
Great day before the rain
Overall the experience was very good. The only draw-back was that most of the greens had just been plugged and sanded. It would have been nice to know that in advance.
No prior warning on likely course conditions in Golf Now Listing
Chardonnay golf course is great course, particularly challenging in windy conditions.
Unfortunately, this day, they starting players from 1st and 10th tees and pace of play was "waiting on every shot".
Also no warning on GolfNow about (a) event occurring later that afternoon maybe explaining the split start, & (b) some punched greens. I had to leave after 14th hold to keep partial round under 4 1/2 hours.
Golfnow Great Price
Fortunate to play with a friend who also on a whim that day booked a round through golfnow. The course was mowed that morning and the greens were consistent.
Typical North Bay weather, little wind, rain and spots of sunshine. Made the round fun
Great afternoon, teed off at 2:15 and ended at 5:30ish
Chardonnay
Me and my wife had lunch and played the course and both were excellent. I play 150+ rounds a year all over and highly recommend playing here when you visit Napa Valley
great setting slow round
Nice course , 5 hour round and saw no marshals for all 5 hours.
Thanks for the positive review! We are sorry that you felt the pace of play was too slow. However, given that we had 150 golfers that date the pace of play was right on target based on our golf course pace rate (as referenced on our website at: http://www.chardonnaygolfclub.com/course_overview/
With that said, I will check with staff to find out why you didn't see a course marshal that day as there should have been one!
We're glad that your overall experience was a positive one and we look forward to your return.
