Played here this morning. This course was built in 1968 by Jack Fleming (Lake Course and Olympic Club) and Bob Baldock (look him up amazing # of courses familiar to many of us) one of the most prolific post-war course architects in the western United States. The design is a traditional, walkable layout that routes through the gradual elevation changes surrounding the estuary of the Napa River. Mature trees line many of the fairways, and water comes into play on the majority of the holes. From the Black tees the course stretches to 6,681 yards with a rating of 72.8 and a slope of 131, providing a solid test for stronger players. Four sets of tees, down to roughly 5,660 yards from the forward markers. $39 with cart M-F and F-Sun $49 so good value. If you are in the Napa area this is a very good course to play. Especially if you like to walk. Course is in good shape at the moment. Tee boxes are all playable. The fairways have good coverage decent roll out and good lies. Except for hole # 15 which has some issues in the middle of the fairway where grass just not seem to want to grow. Traps are all clean and playable no issues. Greens are not large but several are elevated from the fairways and protected by bunkers so good iron play is crucial. They are in great shape and chip/putt just fine. Both # 8 and # 18 are par 5's that have water and marsh that come into play making it a fun hole for those who want to go for them in two. Great selection of Par 3's on the course as well. No houses are on this course and the views of the Napa Valley are great. I will say that the cart paths and carts could use some TLC and updating. Great customer service in the shop and a small grill has good service as well.
