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.

Elevated tee, what a view. If you turn around and use a spotting scope, you can see the top of one tower of the Golden Gate bridge Photo submitted by Titaniumhen on 12/21/2020

Challenging Course, nice condition, good test of golf
Challenging course, not for novice or for players who play occasional rounds.
Not good condition. Horribly slow play. Marsh not marshalling
Guess I'm not used to NorCal conditions but this place and hiddenbrooke are right up there for two worst vacay courses I've ever played.
This course is in good condition and staff were friendly and helpful.
Chardonnay Golf Course is in the southern part of Napa Valley, situated near Highway 12. The course was in good condition, with the fairways and greens well maintained. The greens were pretty quick on this day, and the pin positions challenging. The course designer must have been thinking of dieting when he created the greens, as most are quite narrow with very little width, like a thin waistline. This makes for difficult approach shots to the greens, as there is very little room for error on the narrow greens. It makes for an interesting and challenging day on the course. In summary, Chardonnay is a good golf course, well maintained, staffed by competent and cordial employees. I recommend this golf course.
This is a incredible layout
Your views are all vineyards. Greens are tough to hold. Love that.
All chips must be high to land soft , or they are gone.
Highly recommend this one.
THIS COURSE HAS DIFFCULT GREENS
THIS COURSE WAS TEE TO GREEN CHALLENGING BUT NOT OVERWELMING. THE GREENS WERE THE MOST DIFFICULT. THEY WERE HARD TO READ AND THE SPEED WAS NOT CONSISTENT THROUGH OUT THE COURSE. OVERALL I WAS PLEASED WITH THE CONDITION OF THE COURSE EXCEPT FOR THE TEE BOXES WERE IN HORRIBLE SHAPE. SOME TEE BOXES IT WAS HARD TO FIND A DECENT SPOT TO HIT FROM.
Tough on golf now tee times
Member oriented golf course. Look down on non-member
specially discounted tee times
Plenty good course.
Plenty good course. Greens and fairways in good shape. Cart paths are quite beat up, but that's not a big deal. Tee boxes were chewed up. Pace of play that day was awful!
Greens are good, tee boxes need A LOT of work
decent but no course marshals to speed up slow groups. Tee boxes are not level, need a lot of work
challenging but fun course with great views
This course isn't difficult to the point that it's frustrating, but it definitely requires some accuracy on approach. The greens are fast, and often don't break as much as one would expect. Overall its a good time and the food is great, too.
Great greens, super staff.
Greens were extraordinarily good...but wicked! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. This is a really nice course worth putting on your agenda when in the Napa area.
Napa Valley Gem
This course was in fantastic shape with a great layout. Best value in Napa Valley!
Great location and scenery
I love playing golf at Chardonney. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful and ez to get to. Keep it going. Thank you, Dale
Time of play was long . Two of the players hit from the Black Tees and should not have been on those tees.
Great course. Will be playing it again on Monday the 11th of Feb. with the SIRS
This course is in beautiful setting especially in summer and fall, elevation changes a couple 3 teir greens.
Odd driving range layout but really nice place to play, definetly going back a few times.
Going Deep!
If you like hitting the long ball then this is your course!!
6 par 5's , 6 par 4's and 6 par 3's. even though there are 6 par 3's they are still fun and challenging .
I love the the rest of the course........super enjoyable lots a fun!
ps and the ladies get a good break from the yellow tees!!
This course has excellent maintenance....
Excellent. Greens are PGA rating! You better try it. But you better expect little bit of funny layout like 3 par 3s and 3 par 5s and 3 par 4s in front and back nines. Except that everything is great.
Fantastic course..not too far from the city.
Great course in Napa..surrounded by vineyards..great scenery and a different and enjoyable golf experience..highly recommend.
May be slow at times..
Great winter condition, fantastic staff, great meal
Great day of golf ! After arriving, staff offered to move us to the first tee time (in front of a three foursomes in a group), since there were three of us. We took it. Course was in great shape, greens were smooth and fast. No mud or drainage issues. On course beverages. At lunch (salmon) which was fantastic in the View Bar and Grill overlooking course. It was so good, we asked if there were openings, we got in and played until sundown ! almost 36 holes. Great day !
This is a great course, especially if your can get a deal on Golfnow.
This course has a little of everything, elevation changes, dog-legs, water and great views of the surrounding hill sides and the vineyards that frame the fairways . The fair ways are fair and the greens are large and well maintained. There are several tees for all levels. After you play here for the 1st time, you'll want to come back.
Very good course
Very contoured greens with challenging pin placements to different tiers or even doglegs on greens up to 60 YARDS wide. Fairways trimmed beautifully.. Bunkers well kept. Gorgeous views. A putting green that's puttable. Practice bunkers and large long range. Uncrowded conditions most days.
