The course is in overall great condition. It is challenging enough with half the ocean that is through out the course. I play here at least twice a month. The only problem is the customer service. The tall, lanky, malnourished fella who is there during the mornings never greets. It appears he does not enjoy his job or maybe he's a horrible golfer. The golf carts work half the time so don't be surprised if you have to walk back to the clubhouse. Fore!!!!! read more

Sorry to all the folks who have had a not so good experience. We've been coming here for a while and I haven't had a bad experience yet, maybe it helps to know the staff and have some relationships that have been created. My kids have done the junior league out here and David Knox and his assistant teachers are great. Vince is always a good guy and tries to find a good deal when I come in. Yes the course is soggy. In the winter it is wet. But the greens are in good shape and in the summer, this course is fun to play. Advice, get on their email list and you can save at least ten bucks a round so it isn't expensive. I honesty have never paid 50 bucks out here. We come out later in day and have the email special so it's usually about 20 bucks cheaper. If your not a hard core golfer who plays year round, your gonna hate this course from November to January because your ball doesn't travel very far and it is moist! If you know ahead of time you'll have to use a club more on most shots, you can still have a good time. Hope this helps. read more

Played the course with about 8 guys the day before a wedding. They have a good selection of golf shoes in the pro shop, a little overpriced but if you need shoes.... We started off at the Bar they make a great Bloody Mary the olives are fresh and the mix is spicy. Couple beers on draft. We played best ball that day to keep things rolling. We played the front 9 and didn't see the beer cart one time. After the 9th hole we did see the beer cart about 3-4 times. The staff was very friendly and the course was a bit soggy from all the rain. Over all a pretty well maintained course. read more

Very fun course! Very challenging, a lot of water. Probably not too hard for people that have been golfing for a while, but a newbie like me, had my problems. I don't feel nearly as bad knowing I might have fed some hungry fish today! Will definitely be back soon to donate more balls! read more

To Slow..Nice course, but for some reason they let a group of EIGHT golfers play together....Five and a half hours

I love this course. Finally a pro shop that's staffed with nice guys that don't act like they just finish in the top 10 at The Masters. Super affordable, super fun course. read more

This course was better back in the day. The employees are incompetent rude and clueless. Whoever is taking care of the grounds should be relieved of duty. I can not believe how bad this course has become. What a rip off and a sad situation there. Price would be fine if the course was taken care of. The employees think they are at Silverado or a Palm Springs Resort. This is a long way from a PGA qualifying course that it once was. Best of luck but I will not play or recommend this track to anybody. read more

Had a great golf lesson with Jim Flemming. He helped me make a huge improvement to my swing in a single lesson. I highly recommend him and am going back. read more

Very sadly, I was extremely disappointed in this course. I drove over an hour to play this course with my father for Father's Day. First thing the brakes on our cart barely work, our cart then ran out of battery, the paths on the course were destroyed and decaying. We also had a group infront of us that looked like they had never played before and it was 3 people sharing one cart and one set of clubs. After an hour and a half of playing and waiting to tee of on the third hole with 4 groups stacked behind us, I decided to call the pro shop considering I had not seen a marshal. They said they would send someone out, 20 minutes later I ended up having to skip a hole to pass the family so I could finish the course in time for dinner (mind you we started at 1.) this course has no management, very poorly kept, and no enforcement on rules. If you're looking for a nice spot to play, I would not recommend driving to Napa for this supposed 4.5 star course. read more

I had played this course once before last year and I obviously came back so I didn't hate it. But after last Saturday 9/19, I will never be coming back for several reasons. Starting with the course under maintenance on multiple holes. I think it's hole 3 the par 4 where you get your first taste of "this is a joke". Don't worry bout the fairway there because there isn't one. It's right next to a pond and it seems the disgusting water washes the area out? I am not really sure but the smell is horrible and so is the hole. There are several other holes like this one but 3 is the worst. You will have to move your ball at least 10 times thru out the day bc of the atrocious conditions of the course. The condition of the course is enough reason to never play here and the constant smell of fecis is definitely enough. It gets better, I booked my deal on golf now.com for 30 bucks at 645 am the week before. I use this site a lot and know the symbol for aerification. The symbol was not present when I bought the deal, I promise you, walk into the proshop and start to check in. First words out of the proshop guys mouth is the greens were aerified last week and even has the nerve to say that's why we are getting a cheaper deal. Lastly I bought the 645 am deal because it was the first deal they had on the site. I know they don't always offer all the tee times on golfnow but I thought 645 am would be the first tee time out. Wrong! Got to follow a foursome that played a 4 hour and 20 minute round. Anyone who plays this early knows that's very slow for the first time out and of course there was no Marshall to be found. Oh yeah the greens were horrible of course. Our balls looked like they had been in a bunker every time we putted. Clearly I had a bad experience and you can think I am just an angry yelp reviewer, but I really am not. This is my second ever Yelp review, I usually don't waste my time with reviews. I personally guarantee if you golf on a regular basis you will walk away disappointed from this "golf course". read more

This is a great public golf course. If maintenance was better, I would give it 5 stars. It's a long, hazard-filled test of your golf game. Even from the white tees, the course is over 6,000 yards. If you can break 100 here, congratulations, you are a golfer. The grill is adequate, though the staff still has not figured out how to make a quick hot dog for golfers at the turn, at least they smile at you while trying to get their act together. The bar is first rate, manned by a professional bartender who knows what he is doing, and there is a deck so you can sit outside and watch your fellow hackers launch off the 1st tee. There is a nice practice range where you can hit every club in the bag, and balls are reasonably priced. Currently, the major maintenance issue is some of the bunkers, as there are drainage problems, but these are marked as ground under repair so you can drop out of them. A special bonus of playing at this course is all the wildlife you may see --- birds: acorn woodpeckers, green herons, blue herons, great egrets, Canada geese, farmyard-type geese, red-tailed hawks, ospreys, white pelicans, black-shouldered kites; mammals: river otters (seen on the driving range) and the occasional coyote. Last week I saw an osprey catch a fish at the pond on the 18th fairway. Amazing! You'll love the views at this scenic course, and though it's on a plot of land close to the Napa River, it's hilly enough to be interesting, but you can still easily walk the course. There is water in play on 16 of the 18 holes, even though you may not realize it from the tee. "Sneaky water", I call it. Bring your "A" game if you play here, as you will need it. And if you don't have an "A" game bring plenty of balls, or take a lesson from the head pro, the convivial Tom Sims, and he will make a good effort at trying to get your game where it needs to be to take on this course. For my money, Napa Golf Course at Kennedy Park is the best course in the Napa Valley, and it may very well be one of the top 3 public courses in the Bay Area. read more

Napa Golf Course - The 11th hole, a very long par 4. - Golf Near Me - Napa, California

This is an awesome spot they even have people to serve you drinks. Pam was a blast an chatted to keep us upbeat and not down on our luck. Would definitely recommend for a group of 3-4 read more

Old school layout. Long time ago there were professional tournaments. Water requires you to layup at times. There was a girls (under 18) LPGA tournament at this course and at Chardonnay and scores were higher at Napa than at the Chardonnay course. Many greens are not flat so it requires you to read the greens correctly. I've played here twice and enjoyed it. Will probably play there next week. The 10th and 18th holes are signature holes and are pro like. Some holes are tree lined on both sides and remind me of Harding Park. read more

Very challenging course. The tenth hole is the "Postcard" hole (And the most difficult. Nearly every green is elevated, so always club-up. Driving range is reasonable ($7 for 60+ balls if I remember/ two tokens) Although, wind is always in your face at the range. Best bang for buck in Napa...You can go to Yountville, but why? It's overpriced. (If Napa Muni were a 10, Yountville would be a 6....and Yountville is double price) read more

The staff are always helpful and accomidating and get 5 stars but the course consition gets only 3 so that averages out to 4 stars. Good value for price but wish the course was better kept up! read more

I played a round of golf here yesterday - the Friday before Labor Day. The rates are definitely worth it IF you book online- $29 for 18 holes + the cart (note: that's if you book online after 1. I believe regular AM times are $45). We found that the course was nice and spread out so even if you start with 3 people at the first hole, you space out and never see those people again. Which is good because the course can be a little challenging. There are a lot of par 4 & 5s which you may need to take your time on. They have a driving range which is also nice to hit a few balls before going out on the course. Overall, a solid spot that I would come back to. Make sure you book on their website for discounted, reasonable rates. Club/course is pretty no frills, but I prefer that. Weather is unbeatable. read more

People, people, people, lets hurry it up here! 5:30 for 18 holes is friggin horseshit. We had to wait EVERY shot, group in front of us walking (extremely slow) and drinking wine. They were alright for the first few holes then it all went to shit as the wine started doing its job. Other than that , not very memorable but not bad either. Water water everywhere. Bunkers shouldnt be called bunkers, more like bare ground. read more

We had our holiday party at Kennedy Park. It was great! The staff, especially Drew, made it really easy to set up the tee times, get everyone clubs if they didn't have thier own, and have a great time. We had lunch after hole 9, and the food was really good. Thank you Kennedy Park team for making our holiday party a success! read more

Good price scheduled a tee time early during the week days .. nice course very busy lots of golfers thank god we were in the front and kept a very good pace.. read more

I haven't been here for 20 yrs, and it was a bit disappointing to see the condition of the course has completely deteriorated since my last visit. It appears that the greens are the only portion of the course that are being maintained. some fairways are over-watered, and some fairways are bone dry and hard (Hole #15 has straight dirt in the middle of fairway near 100-120 yds from pin). most of the greens were pretty good, although a few holes did feel a bit over water. I think I only saw one guy working on the course that morning, which is a bit surprising. Place is understaff- was there on a wknd 8AM and they had one guy working in the pro shop, and no marshal. Got some range balls to warm up, and the balls were beat (prob more than 3 yrs old) - and didn't even get to finish our balls, as they rushed up our tee time (think they had some no shows that morning). The food/cafe is a joke - they had a menu on #8, and my friends order some breakfast sandwiches - made the turn for pick-up, they had nothing ready and only offered hot-dogs. I understand it's covid time, and many courses don't have full service cafe/bar, but then they should take down the menu or offer something easier. read more

Overall pretty nice course, quite a few grounds under repair, otherwise five stars.

Very disappointing visit. Pulled into the lot and the cars were crawling all over it like ants to a mound of sugar. There was a wedding taking place right off the main walkway to the clubhouse, so staff manned both ends of the path and told the golfers to go around (inconvenience #1). Got to the clubhouse and the guy manning the desk looked like he had been heavily sobbing (bad sign). We were quickly told our tee time @ 11:36 am would most likely be pushed back since there were so many golfers (not my problem) and no carts available - what! Two groups ahead of us were also waiting for carts and the staff were turning carts as they came off of the 18th green, also inconveniencing the incoming golfers who couldn't ride their bags out to their cars. While this was going on I noticed a few "blue haired ladies" being chaffaured around on.... wait for it.....golf carts. Apparently, course management made the ingenious decision to inconvenience their "bread and butter" golfers so a few old ladies didn't have to walk a few steps. Anyway, we ended up teeing off 40 minutes late. I knew it would be a long day when guys in the two groups ahead were essentially pushing the ball down the fairway 20 yards at a time when they weren't searching the adjacent tree lines for their balls. I wasn't sure if they were playing golf or croquet! I'm still not sure why there was no marshal out there moving things along, but I did observe some old 80 something old man joy riding down the fairway along w/ a pimply faced "teen something" on separate...wait for it "golf carts"....both driving 40 yards ahead and cutting in front of our tee shots quite oblivious to our teeing off. As for course conditions, the greens were in excellent condition, the front nine fairways were very green and cut to an acceptable height, however the back nine was a horse track w/ literally patches of mud 20 yds x 20 yds across and very over watered w/ standing water everywhere. They didn't bother marking out "ground under repair" areas because there were so many areas that were in less then acceptable condition. We lost a few balls in the second (fairway) cut where the grass was approximately 5" tall where it should have been closer to 2". All in all this golf journey was miserable save for the company and the sunny day. I won't be back unless forced there w/ a gun to my head! read more

Great little course in Napa and pretty reasonable prices, lots of fun. Visited May 2012 read more

My family and I have spent a lot of time out at this golf course. My 7 year old daughter requested to have her birthday party at the course. The staff was incredibly accommodating and wonderful. We had 15 4-8 year olds out there on the driving range, putting green, and catered lunch. All of the kids and parents had a blast and were well fed. We were impressed at how well they attended to our needs, made my daughter feel special, and gave us a wonderful experience. Thank you! read more

I really like the course. Its got a nice layout and with just a little/lot more maintenance it would be even better. Unfortunately my wife and i have been there three times. All three times we were paired up with 1. A drunk couple 2. Obnoxious drunk guy and his girl. Both of these groups disappered about half way and decided to play whatever hole they wanted. NO MARSHALL EVER. TheLast time with two guys in jeans and tank tops who had NO edicate at all. I mean NONE. I know golf courses can't judge who can or can't play. Can we at least get them to put on a shirt. I won't be back just can't take it anymore. read more

Ron in the pro shop was top notch! Great customer service. Course was in good shape as well. Looking forward to coming back soon!

This place has gone wayyyy down hill! I've played here for years actually thought it would have been a good wedding location the staff is really nice and the course is ok just needs some maintenance. But the worst thing about this place is that blonde bimbo who is apparently the GM. HA! Idk how she could ever manage a place. She is so fake and phony. She mugs people when they walk in I have heard her talking bad about customers behind their backs which is so unprofessional and wrong especially being new. She obviously does not know what she is doing. She has gotten rid of or scared off staff that has made that place worth going to. What I guess I'm pointing out is, if u go there steer clear from that b**** I would never have a wedding there because she is the one in charge of it. When I went there to check it out she just gave me a bad taste in my mouth. Not for me read more

DO NOT play on Thursday. A group of older ladies back up the whole course. Great staff with most holes very nice. Around 4 holes need better maintenance read more

This is a good course for a relaxing day. The fairways are wide and everybody seems relaxed, unlike other uppity golf courses where everybody thinks they are on the PGA tour. The course could be in better condition. The greens are a little patchy, but all in all, a good course. The staff was nice and welcoming. I would definitely go back. Also, the Groupon deal is worth looking into. read more

I played here for the second time at the end of February, I believe it was the 21st. I had a Groupon that was expiring and was here for an afternoon round (had to be after 12 to use the Groupon on the weekend). The good: The course was in overall decent condition and all of the employees were pleasant to deal with. The bad: Now, here is what brings me to write the review... Afternoon rounds here are terrible. The course was obviously overbooked. We tee'd off about 30min late from our original tee time and that was after being moved up one spot because of a twosome not showing. They also ran out of golf carts. What golf course runs out of golf carts?! We had tee'd off on the first tee before a cart was finally brought to us. By the 16th hole, our cart had died and we had to abandon it. Sadly, our cart was not the only cart that had died that afternoon. 3 or 4 dead carts littered the course starting at about the 9th hole. At one point during the round, the cart girl caught up to us and we grabbed a couple drinks. I used a credit card to purchase the drinks and was told that she would have to take my card up to the bar to run the charge and that I could pick it up at the end of the round. This isn't too out of the ordinary for courses, and isn't really much of an issue. The issue came at the end of the round when I went to pick up my card. At 5:15, the bar was CLOSED along with the proshop and seemingly everything else. Fortunately, I was able to flag down one of the employees who was collecting the dead carts from the course and she was able to call the bartender who then walked her though getting my card out of the cash register. I will NEVER play an afternoon round here again. read more

great course!! great price...looking forward to playing this gem again! as north bay locals we didn't know about this tract!! but what a great place...a moderately challenging course, which was perfect for us as newbies at this place. we were paired up with one guy who did know the course so he was able to give us direction. the fairways were in good shape and the greens were true....need to pack a lunch or know about ordering sandwiches from the course....the hotdogs were ok but better nutrition would have been better....the course does have a full bar for the 19th hole!! or earlier if need be....there isn't a cart person who brings drinks so bring plenty of fluids....a waaay fun place to play that isn't crowded...they do say that afternoon play can be breezy.... read more

I signed up on Yelp to write this review, I went into Kennedy park pro shop a day before my tee time to buy a new driver, everyone who lives in Napa knows buying golf equipment in town is very limited. When i walked in they greeted me very nicely, I asked if i can hit the driver i wanted prior to me purchasing it.The person behind the counter said it wouldn't be a problem and even gave me a range token. When i came back from the range and told the guy behind the counter that i would like to buy the driver. He took the taxes off the price and even gave me 2 free rounds of golf w/cart with my purchase! He even let me take a cart out to the course and give my wife and daugter a grand tour. That to me is great customer service! Thats why I'm giving it 5 stars. Now for the course, overall i give the course 3 stars, great fairways, good difficulty, I give the greens 1 star though, the greens wouldn't hold our golf balls, it was like playing on glass. my partner threw a golfball straight down to the ground as hard as he could and it really never left a divot! overall I'm still going to play this course, even after i use the free play passes :) read more
