Vineyard National Golf Course

This was my first time playing the course. I would give it 4.5 stars for the overall rating if that was an option. I reserve 5 star ratings for only the best of the best that I’ve played. The staff at Vineyards is phenomenal. From the time we pulled up to Sinatra blasting at the bag drop to Jack meeting us with a big smile and welcome to Jerry in the pro shop and Walt the starter. This is a professionally run operation. Walt made our day by addressing the group that teed off immediately in front of us at 7:00 am. 2 of the four had never played golf before. After 15 mins on the first hole and nowhere near the green, Walt called the ranger, who had the group step aside and allowed us to play through. This turned a long round into 3:45.

A great pace of play. The course is mostly in excellent shape from tee to green with the exception of the rough which I understand will be addressed in the fall. The bunkers were just redone and they were excellent. Fairways and tees were lush and greens were spotless and rolled true. The course is very golfer friendly with wide fairways and a nice variety of holes from short to long par threes and elevation changes that make for some thought behind club selection. As the name implies, this course plays through and around a vineyard. There is a large wedding facility across the street that looks pretty nice. The old winery facility has been turned into a nice bar with good food selections and beautiful outdoor dining. There is also ample entertainment options and special events. The winery is from 1864 so it was a speak easy during prohibition with a long hallway called prohibition alley. All in all a very cool golf and after golf experience. I highly recommend it.

Tee boxes are average. Fairways, bunkers, greens are all better than last visit a few years ago. Only one or two water jugs on course. Only one ball washer. Beverage cart was available. Foursome played in 4:10 hrs. We enjoyed the course.

Absolutely stellar staff ! Challenging course well laid out .. had breakfast across the street and cart gals were right on time on a hot day !

We have played this course many times since it opened and it is probably in the best shape ever! Even to bunkers that were always problem areas are in perfect condition with plenty of sand. The fairways and greens are in great shape! They have also done a lit of cosmetic work all around , improving walkways to greens and tee boxes. Great job making a nice place even better.

The parking lot was packed, due to a tournament in play, sign of a good course. The water Hazzard, doglegs and bunkers make for a challenging round. I visited almost all bunkers, beach day they said, and a feww ponds, but still a nice round.

I can’t say enough about the staff, conditions and pace. It costs but worth every penny!
