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.

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.
Great Condition
Chardonnay course is a very well kept track, but tee time rates are getting too expensive for this course.
Very Impressed
Reservations were made by phone and the pros on the desk were very helpfulo and friendly. First time impression was that we were going to play a country club golf course. From the Gentleman that helped me with my Groupon registration to the gentleman that carried my bag from the car to the cart. It was fabulous. Beautiful fairways and not the easiest greens but it made the game so much more fun. The perfect day of January 31, 2018, sunny warm and just a hint of wind made each and every hole most enjoyable. I had a foursome of friends from another golf course and for three of us, we had never played Chardonnay before. I hope that this is rated in the top 10 courses in northern California because I will be back. The best woman was on the cart that traveled around the course with a great attitude and knowledge of the course. She was on time and in the right place for the front nine and also the back nine. The only down side was sand buckets on the the carts were empty and there was no sand available around the course, except for the sand traps. Suggest full sand bottles before the round. I had so much fun that I will tell friends and family about a great day at Chardonnay. . . . Go Play. . .
The views
From the moment I stepped on the course the staff and checking was easy. The course is amazing and difficult very well maintained
A Must Play Golf Adventure
A Great Place to Play , It's Fun , Challenging and has some Great Par 3's that you can't wait to play again. very enjoyable Golf Experience. But don't Forget to Stop and take in The Beautiful Scenery , The Rolling Hills covered with vineyard's , the wild life , It's more than just Golf , It's Great THERAPY
They are the only Golf Course around that I know, That Gives a Discount to Military, Police and Fire
Being a Army Veteran I really appreciate it.
Nice Bar Restaurant, & friendly staff.
great weather for winter play
Two days after rain the course was back to 90 degree rule for carts. Rain amounts here were less than some other areas so the course dried out fairly quickly.
Fairways are in great condition. Thought greens but lots of fun.
Very poor green condition
I play many times throughout last 20+ years here. We haven’t been here in the last 7 months or so.
Four of us came to play here on January 6th, 2018 Saturday. OMG. Greens are in very poor condition. Very slow, putt would not break properly they have not been mowed nor pressed for two days or more Maybe due to the weather and rain we had the night before but it was sunny and warm that weekend.
Very disappointed. Would not come back here at least for quite some time. Eagle Vines would be my other alternative in this area with much better conditions for about the same price.
We played Chardonnay at noon as a foursome and
finished in about 4 hours.
The course is in good condition, green rolled and
fast. Views of surrounding hills, vineyards and
lots of wildlife.
The course is challenging with sand, trees and
different levels of play.
I would recommend it highly. If not right away, add
this one to your bucket list.
Great course
Course was a unexpected delight. Fantastic shape, greens were excellent had a great day. I usually play Rooster Run ( cow pasture ) hands down Chardonnay was worth the extra 30 minute drive.
A Great Experience
This course is great and the scenery exceptional. No homes, no traffic noise and some very creative and nasty greens. Feel of a country club. Will be back a lot, maybe as a member.
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.
