Chardonnay Golf Club

Chardonnay under the new CourseCo management has fallen out of my rotation. I had a choice where to play and I choose wrong.

Lets start with the no's on the course

No marshall to help with the pace of play

No garbage cans

One Water filling station and it was empty

Dead grass on the tee boxes

And the bunkers are the worst in the Bay Area including Glen Eagles and probably courses that have been closed, but I've know that since the pandemic and play anyways.

No more... done.

No buckets for balls at range,I walked over and picked up a bunch and brought back to the ball machine. Then the balls were filthy and half were so old and beat up that they were unusable. The course has seen better days and the greens were patchy with something that looks like they had fought off a fungus. The pace of pay was ridiculously slow. 5.5 hours waiting at every hole and every shot.

Green and Fairway are good. Bunkers are in really bad shape, no sands.

Weather was fabulous Pace of play the best

Friendly staff

Introduced some new friends and they were amazed at the quality and pricing

Course was in great shape and the weather couldn't have been better. Had a little wind to add a little more thought to the course management aspect of the game.

Senior day is Wed. Tee’d off at 3:24 and finished after 8pm.

No cart person

No Marshall

No starter.

I was a bit disappointed when playing here. Yes it is for the most part green and in decent shape. Still had brown spots which is expected for summer time. However not as nice as I remember. Very disappointed with there bunkers. They put no effort in keeping them nice & if they did would be a top course in the area. Bunkers were just clay with no sand and half of them had puddles of water in them. Which they would put some more effort into keeping the bunkers real and playable.

Last played there over a year ago and the traps were in bad shape. This time even worse. Sad, it's one of my favorite courses in the wine country.

As a long time player at Chardonnay Golf Club I have seen ups and downs in the facility. There were many poor reviews in early summer, and rightfully so. The course was very dry and tee boxes dead (should be noted this was due to major irrigation system repairs needed due to the age of the infrastructure).

Management has corrected many of these issues and the course is playing much better again. Tees, fairways and greens are much better and a joy to play (bunkers are still poor).

I have very much enjoyed my rounds at Chardonnay Golf Club over the last couple of weeks and look forward to the continued improvement.

This course and Eagle Vines are our 2 favorite courses in Napa area. We knew the pace of play would be slow. We had to waited at every hole starting with #1. We ended the round in 5 hours, so, it was not bad, especially such a nice day. However, the group behind of us hit into us twice, once we were on the green and without apology. One of the players works for Golf Moose, so, etiquette should not be an issue.

Golf Moose so bad.

This is not a 3rd rate golf course - do something aboit it.

I was very shocked of the course conditions. It was the driest I’ve ever seen. Needs a lot of water

Played Chardonnay yesterday and the adjacent course Eagle Vines a few days earlier to determine whether either course was suitable for a group event this Fall. Chardonnay was ruled out by hole number 2. Greens were in reasonable shape although very slow - probably rolling 6-7 - but the rest of the course was in poor shape and in need of a lot of TLC. Very little sand in bunkers, some tee boxes absent of grass, range balls covered in dirt (staff was surprised why the ball dispenser was jammed!). It's an interesting track from a layout perspective and the pace of play was excellent because there was nobody there on a Tuesday afternoon, but poor conditions mean I won't be back. I suspect the course won't survive much longer financially regardless unless they get a new owner.

Course was in great shape. The staff were friendly and took the time to get things right. We did not take advantage of any of the off course amenities due to time constraints.

I was looking forward to playing this course but was disappointed. Although no one could complain about the surroundings being right in the middle of grape vineyards, the course itself was a disappointment for its layout and conditions.

The bunkers were wet, hard sand and the fairways were dry with lots of dead grass. In addition, several tee boxes were in horrible shape, one at the 15th? had you hitting off of dirt! For the money, there are many courses that do better

Course used to be one of my favorites but has been steady going diwn hill. The tee boxes are either grass less or filled with giant ruts, the fairways are already drying out and the bunkers still have no sand. Weekday green fees have gone up 25.00 since last year and the quality of course has gone down under new management. I will be playing elsewhere.

I play this course all the time in my rotation. Pretty challenging, for sure need to play smart in order to score. Most of the greens are a bit on the narrow side. My only concern were the tee boxes.. tee boxes are beat up and need some work. It’s only right to hit on more than decent lies on every tee box.
