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.

Needs work

Slow pace of play without a marshal. The rough was long and covered in grass clippings so that I lost two balls just feet off the fairway. Greens were great as usual. Not up to Chardonay standards

Tough weather - great course

We played a sunday twilight teetime for 49$ walking and with that being said, the value for money here is insane.

The layout is very diverse and varied. With a 6/6/6 layout in Par 3/4/5 you really get to use a lot of different clubs. The views in the hilly vineyards are astonishing and even though our round was unfortunately also very varied with regards to the weather, as we had downpours and heavy winds but also perfect sunshine during our round, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The only downsides were, that the bunkers were in pretty bad shape and the subpar quality of the rangeballs.

Overall a diverse layout with amazing views.

Love the layout

Still a but soggy. Fairways not mowed so don’t expect to get any spin with your irons. Rough super deep for the same reason. Bunkers are always trashy. Not sure why. Love the layout & the challenge

Great but cart path only

Cart Path Only, and I understand why, makes it less enjoyable. We will definitively go back again when the course is dry and no cart restrictions. It was a great time !

Pretty wet areas, but understandable since it rained the morning of the day before. Greens in very good shape.

Way too wet

Played 3-4 days after heavy rains but I t was clear they were still watering the course like normal. Entire course was cart path only, so I walked. Push cart sunk in all across the course. Dozens of plugged lies and water in bunkers. Greens were entirely inconsistent. Nobody made a putt outside of 8’

New Years Eve 18

Paired up with a twosome that was playing in front of me to make play move quicker. Had a very fun round with Eric and Nir. Unfortunately, the course was still very wet from earlier rain, and it was cartpath only. I’m an old guy and trekking all the way across the fairway for most shots was a bit much. Wet conditions did make some shots a little difficult but all in all the course was in great shape. But as the clouds moved in, the temperature dropped! So for the last five or six holes it was extremely cold. We pushed through and even with slow play of the two groups in front of us, we did barely finish before it got dark. Have always enjoyed this course.

Awful pace of play

Actually this is a great golf course with a beautiful setting in the vineyards and a challenging course design.

The pace of play was awful. They put me as a single alone. Behind me a double and behind them another single. In front were several foursomes. So every flight have to wait at least 10 minutes at each hole.

After playing there was no chance to clean my dirty shoes or to clean of my clubs.

The guy at the registration was also not very attentive about the setting of the flight constellation.

After all I would recommend this course, when you have plenty of time and don’t play as a single.

Local public enjoys this course

Exciting to see new energy coming in to the course. Hard to understand trimming cart paths when the tee boxes need immediate attention! Greens are in terrific shape as is the entire course
