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.

Beautiful Course

A lovely time of the year to play here- everything green and many things in bloom. Course conditions were good- greens were a little slow, but they're aerating this week so not a surprise. Always a pleasure to play this course.

one big failing

I love this course and have played it many times. Usually score decent since there are 6 par 3s. THERE REMAINS ONE BIG FAILING!

The bunkers badly need sand in them. EV right next door just rebuilt theirs and it makes all the difference to have a few inches of real sand, not an 1/8" of dirt. GIven the prices they charge this might make a big difference to you.

Jewel to a dump

I have been playing this course since it opened. The place is a disaster. The carts are destroyed, the pro shop looks like a 7 11 bathroom no catering, no staff.

Stay away even with a golf now discount. If you have history with this place it will break your heart.

A beautiful day outdoors

The course is perfectly maintained. Not much standing water in the fairways after heavy rain.

I am pretty happy with the course and pretty sure will play again. I strongly recommend this course to my friends.

This place is a dump

Used to play this course a lot 30 years ago and then the last 10 years and especially currently it’s in the roughest shape I’ve ever seen. Don’t waste your money. It’s a dump.

A long day of golf

Two groups of players were playing real slow.

No fun at all.

Fun round of golf with my friends

In general, I like to play this course again. I would like to point out that the groups in front of us was playing pretty slow that destroyed our tempo.

Pace of play was hirribke

We played 9 holes in 3 hours and 15 minutes. There was no one on the course pushing pace of play. Very frustrating and disappointing.

This course is challenging, a lot of hazards guarding the greens.Needs a good layups.

There are pretty much potholes on the cart paths that need to be fixed.
