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.

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

Vrrrrr Noice👌🏽

Matt at the pro shop was super accommodating and helpful

The course was so much fun to play this time. Maybe because I can hit alit more shots than I did about 10 years ago or so when I first started.

Food and drinks were very good.

Bartender/ server was very friendly and efficient

I don’t care for margaritas but the one my nephew ordered me was vrrr noice👌🏽. Can’t wait to go back!! Thanks GN⛳️

Overall rating would have been 5 stars, but the bunkers were like concrete. Otherwise, a "Great" course.

Get A Marshal!

Course is fun and usually worth it but they are horrible with pace of play. Course does not have a marshal out helping keep up pace of play, two groups of 3 in front of us kept grouping up to make a 6 some… no one at the course cared or would say anything. Round took over 5.5hrs to complete, just ridiculous.

Driving Range closed on Tuesday's

It's a nice course in every respect. My only problem is the Driving being closed. In my opinion the range should be taken care of after 2p.m. when their is little activity on the first tee.

It seems to me it would speed up play on the first tee when your either way left or right. I know your thinking it wouldn't help the player who isn't sure if his or her ball is going to go left or right, but "Hey" it sure won't hurt.

Keeping the range open until two or later will also increase your bottom line.

I love to play this course and want to play with my friends again. Some of the cart paths need to be fixed.
