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.

Good Price if you get a deal
The fairways give big bounces and the greens are in good shape. Maybe the best greens as far as consistency in Solano County. The Par 3 tee boxes can use some work.
CGC
Always fun the play this challenging course. However, the car paths need work.
Good value
Picked up a good deal on golfnow. Course was in decent shape but showed signs of lack of rain. Worst part was pace of play. After 4hrs 15 min I left with just 15 holes played. Several times there were 3 groups on tee box waiting to hit. I'd expect a log jam on a Saturday, not a Wednesday in February. Would play again for sure but hopefully pace is better.
Challenging greens
The weather was exceptional...it can get windy. The greens are extremely challengin.
Chardonnay Review
The course was in good condition, greens were fast
but well maintained. We played as a foursome and
the pace was around 4.5 hours, steady.
The course has a little water, limited number of
sand traps and trees and is wide and open.
Staff was helpful and friendly. Access from Highway
12 was good.
Overall, a great experience.
Unbelievably slow
Very windy the day I played. Was paired with 3 other people. Ahead of us was 4 foursomes of "friends" who play various courses. Took 3 hours to play the front side. Did not see one marshall come through. At the turn, I doubled back and re-played the front side in 1 hour 15 minutes. Course is OK. A few of the holes looked like the architect could not figure out how to fit a hole in and the result was pretty bad. Would like to play the backside to see if it is better.
Very good value
Chardonnay has gone thru some tough times, and we were a bit skeptical because the greens fees are so low compared to other courses in the area. We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent conditions of the greens, but agree that that tees, fairways and bunkers need more TLC. We will definitely play again.
Well worth the greens fee
Had an amazing deal from golfnow - $30! Greens were fantastic, rolling well and fairly quick. Tee boxes and fairways were in average condition. Bunkers were a bit inconsistent - some had lots of sand and others barely any at all. Weather was fantastic. Pace of play was very sluggish as there was a foursome walking two groups ahead. Once I jumped in front, I zipped through super quick.
Quite Challenging
This course is a lot of fun and very challenging, especially the putting. Absolutely a beautiful area to golf. Unfortunately it happened to be a quite cool windy day taking a little of the joy out of it. But just a little! A definite must place course.
Great Napa Valley course
Chardonnay is always a great choice. Great layout through the vineyards and challenging too.
Frost delay
Good course for the price. Frost delay for about an hour and a half which seemed a bit long considering we could see groups playing Eagle Vines at least 45min earlier.
Interesting and challenging course!
A good challenge for any golfer, lots of variety and unique hole layouts/green configurations!! Pretty fair, make sure to keep the drives in play and your approach shots to the correct side/tier of the green. I will definitely play Chardonnay again!
Monday afternoon round
Started at 11:30. Finished at 4:50. Course information stated that a round would take all day. Course was wet so there was no roll except on the greens....with a tap the ball just rolled and rolled and rolled. Beautiful setting and the holes were well laid out.
Paula, who was on the beverage cart, was very pleasant and came around frequently to refill my coffee cup.
Awesome course!
Played here on my birthday and had a great round. It was right after some recent rains so the course was really soft but still played great! The greens were in perfect condition, rolled extremely true and were very quick. I like the layout of the course, it had some very interesting holes and shots throughout the round. Definitely will be back.
Great course, slow play
We didn't finish the round because it was too slow.
Great day in NAPA
Can there be a better location for a golf vacation? Played here with my son who was visiting for Thanksgiving. Course was in great condition. I found the greens to be challenging with lots of contours - all good. Not a lot of people on the course when we played so play was fast. Highly recommend this course.
Chardonnay in Fall '14
great track from tee to green. course is in great shape.
A Sure 90+ pointer in Wine Country!
Had a great time at a wonderful course with green fees at a bargain. Some part of the course are not perfect but about all else is. This course winds through the grapevines with a course layout that will challenge any skill level. Make sure you make time to dine at the club house, the food and service was outstanding! I had played here about 20 years ago, sure glad we came back for a round, GREAT Day!
Chardonnay
Course is in great condition! No signs that drought is affecting the golf course. Great place to play if you're going in or out of Wine Country.
Great Weather, Beautiful Course
The course winds through the grape vinyards showing their beautiful colors, and the course is in great condition.
