CHARDONNAY GC

The vineyards may grab the headlines, but this Napa Valley layout delivers serious golf with elevation changes that test club selection on nearly every approach shot. Designer Johnny Miller crafted routing that flows naturally through rolling oak-studded terrain, where the par-3 7th plays downhill to a green protected by ancient trees and the finishing stretch demands precision into wine country winds. Public access to championship-caliber conditions makes this a rare find in a region where most premium golf hides behind private gates.
