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.

Great round

Weather was perfect and views are even better. I enjoy how quite this course is. No houses or traffic or anything. Fairways are generous. Greens are small and oddly shaped with lots of undulation, but weren't too fast or anything. Pace was amazing. Sunday morning round and we didnt wait for anyone and had no one behind us.

Slow Pace of Play. Where were the Marshalls?

5 hour round, waiting on each hole, almost on each swing. Foursome ahead of our group quickly fell behind the groups ahead of them. No Marshalls to be found to encourage them to speed up or skip a hole (or two). Excruciating pace ruined an otherwise beautiful day at Chardonnay.

Great course

Course is in great condition, pace of play was good. Staff were good and personable.
There seems to be some confusion between Golf Now and the course. Paid for my round through Golf Now including cart, however i was again charged an additional $15 at the course.
Something isn't adding up.

Really scenic!

Spectacular scenery. Also spotted a big coyote crossing the fairway.
Greens in great shape; I was told they recently added sand to slow the greens down…they were still fast but so glad they did the sand.
The windy conditions made the course very challenging. But warm day was enjoyable.
No chance for a beer after, since the bar closed early so that was disappointing.

Great course

Course was in great shape. Has it's challenges for sure. Office staff and organization leaves a lot to improve on. Received my cart 10 minutes after my Tee time. smh. Lack of attention to what is happening by the office staff is an area needing great improvement on. Pace of play was average, with a 5 minute wait time at the tee. Overall, the course itself is; on par with other courses in the area.

General

Nice course. Driving range in good shape. Started round on our 12:00 p.m. tee time.
There was a twosome du ring middle of the round that started to take their sweet time, and low and behold a Marshall was right on them. I can't remember the last time I saw that on a golf course. It made for a nice round of golf. Nice to see a golf course with some spine that's not afraid to move folks along. That's the kind of thing that brings folks back.

Slow round

Slowest round I’ve played in years - 5 and 1/2 hours. We were waiting on every hole. The group in front of us had two open holes in front of them. There was no ranger to keep the play moving.

Beautiful

First time playing here. They just irradiated but Course is absolutely beautiful with in the vineyards, layout is nice and technical at times, long winding per the slopes of the hills: wind is a factor on certain holes. Nicely designed course. Will definitely be back again.
