Played here this AM. Set along the Napa River wetlands it opened in 1967. The setting though in CA reminds me of many of the courses you will find in Upstate NY or VT (and many other states) with the many trees and foliage and setting in a large parkland of property with no homes anywhere.

No frills course IMO. M-T $39 w cart and
F-S $49 w cart. No wonder its so crowded.

B 6862, B 6501, W 6134, G 5450 Par 72

Found the tee boxes all playble.

Traps are clean and playable though some more sand would not hurt IMO.

Fairways are clean and provide good lies and roll out. Many of them have wetlands running along them so hitting the fairway is important. And many have large pine and redwoods lining them as well.

Greens are an odd mixture of small and large. And when I say "large" I don't mean like Rustic Canyon. Just larger than the small ones. Your iron and wedge game need to be on for a high GIR on this course.

Its great that they provide an excellent course guide, as carts do not have GPS. I played with a local who was extremely helpful in providing me info on the greens being this was my first time here.

Carts are functional but that's about2 it. And while some of the cart paths are good, there are some that will rock you.

Actually this course is layed out such that walking would not be an issue.

Small clubhouse and small grill attached to that. Free coffee though which was appreciated.

If you are in the Napa area and not staying at Silverado then play here. I don't think you will be disappointed.

And the 18th finishing hole will make you think all the way to the tiny green guarded by bunkers.
