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.

Great course
I'd say it's a great course but you are definitely paying for the area in which it sits in. Fifty five bucs on a Tuesday at 845 in the morning is a little costly. Other than that the course was in great condition. The greens a little so so but overall a great day on the course.
Great layout multiple tee boxes to play. Golf course was car path only due to heavy rain fall. Can't beat for the price Par 3. Different elevation made it challenging.
Nice
Scenic
Good value. Challenging course. Need to get other players(members?)to rake bunkers and repair ball marks. Pace slowed on back 9 and I was walking.
Thanks for leaving us a review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time at our course and hope to see you again soon!
Spectacular setting
Able to play on a hot deal for just $46- day after two solid days of rain so was cart path only play Course was in good shape considering the rain Csrts are old no GPS but that's only negative. Course is set in a beautiful vineyard rolling hills. Spectacular. Great outing. Challenging but fair
Hi, thanks for taking time to write us a review. We are happy to hear you were able to enjoy the course especially after so much rain. We love to hear that our visitors enjoy our course as much as we do. Thanks again and I hope to hear you soon.
Great course But.....
Amazing course,greens kept up,and challenging holes BUT the cart person although sweet didnt see her much through our round. This was also the second time me and my partner got sick after eating at the club house. My advice B.Y.O.B. AND BRING YOUR OWN FOOD.
Hi, thanks for taking the time to write us a review. Although we are happy to hear you enjoy our course, we apologize for your experience at the clubhouse.

We would like to know more about your past two visits so we can prevent this type of incident in the future.
Beautiful layout amist the grape vines
Thoroughly enjoyed this gold course. My first time here....and played by myself...so...that was pretty challenging in itself as I did not know the ins and outs of the course. Otherwise...it couldn't have been nicer...the staff was totally helpful...the fairways had a few rough spots but generally the course was in very good condition. The greens have a lot of undulations and were fairly quick...once I got the speed right...things went significantly better. Be careful on the most difficult handicapped holes..they are rated that way for a reason! I will be back!

Played early so the round was quick. (3.5 hours). course has a fun layout, especially if you play the tips....Grens were in great shape and offered a nice challenge to the course

Enjoyable Play, Unique Layout
This is a challenging course uniquely situated among Napa CA vineyards. The course has has lots of variety with 6 par 3's, 6 par 4's and 6 par 5's. Challenging, especially some of the par 3's, but not tricky or frustrating. We thoroughly enjoyed the setting and the golf.

Charbonay
I loved the view of the course. Depening on the tee selection some of the hole are quit challaglng.I wish I was playing better that day but I would love to play again.
Hi
Thank you for taking the time to review our course. We are happy to hear you enjoy our gorgeous views as much as we do! Thanks again and we hope to see you soon.
Beautiful course
Had a great time playing Chardonnay. I wish more courses had a (6) par 3's; (6) par 4's and (6) par 5's layout like this course. Much more interesting than playing a course with (5) par 4's in a row. It was a gorgeous day and the pace slowed down a bit at hole 14 as there were a bunch of twosomes playing in a row instead of teaming up to make 4somes to speed up a bit. Love the course and the waiter/waitresses at the 19th hole were great. Even the cart lady (Michelle) was amazing. Had a great time. Can't wait to go back.
Hi
Thank you for taking the time to review our course! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time on the course and at The 19th Hole. We work hard to make sure every golfer leaves happy and we are glad you had a great experience. Thanks again and we hope to see you soon!
Nice course in the vineyards
Mostly wide fairways and massive greens. Enjoyable course that could use a bit of maintenance off the fairways. Overall a beautiful course that was fairly windy, but enjoyable. I will definitely play frequently.
Hello,

Great Place to Play
Without some sort of discount like GolfNow can be a little pricey but overall I like the course and plan to play it again.

Great scenery and a Nice Course
Had a good time at Chardonnay - course is in very good condition. Not the most challenging course out there, but a good track with some interesting holes, especially several par three's with huge greens. Shot placement to the correct tier is critical. Pace of play was a little slow, most likely due to there being a five group "tournament" in front of us, but definitely not as bad as some other courses in the Bay Area. Staff was very friendly and helpful. And to top it all off, you're playing amongst the vineyards of Napa Valley - can't beat the views!

Worth your time
Very nice and challenging course, only slow down by a father-daughter combination and they don't even let me go through. The course has a lot of Chardonnay, it's beautiful. You will enjoy it.

Beautiful Course but the staff is lacking
We played on a buddies trip, and had rounds at Silverado Napa and Spanish Bay as well. This course is picturesque and challenging. We enjoyed the course. Where this course lacks is in its staff. The grounds keepers were oblivious to the fact that we were playing a round of golf or lacked proper training to let the golfers enjoy their round and play through. They were literally in our way on several holes and didn't seem to care that we were there playing golf they just kept on working and often right in our way. Also the starter was no where to be found and a group jumped in front of us yet their tee time was after ours. The attendants were not attentive and when we were done the guy didn't even offer to help with our bags or polish up our clubs. Great track, but management needs to step up their game and teach the staff about customer service.
We are so sorry to hear that our staff at the course was inattentive. I would like to ensure you that we hold our staff to an exemplary level of customer service and I deeply apologize for your experience today. Please contact Bob Becker so we may discuss this further and find a sufficient solution for the lack of customer service. If there is anything else we can help you with, please bring it to our attention.
Wine Country Gem
Chardonnay was in wonderful shape when we played it. Really like the layout as it winds thru a lot of vineyards and it is especially challenging with its large undulating greens. Since it is in the wine country near Napa, wine tasting after your round is always an option.

Always enjoyable
the course was in excellent shape and the greens were rolling true. the starter was very friendly and let me out early so that the round was at a good pace
Don't recommend walking since the redesign which removed 9 of the 27 holes. Long walks between a number of holes.
