The aptly named A Midsummer Nights Dream boasts an elevated tee which is perched amidst a Japanese-style rock and hedge garden. There you are surrounded off in the distances by rolling Moorish hills reminiscent of the Highlands of Scotland. From the top of this majestic par-three, you hit down and softly to an island green. Shakespeare Course Finishing up, Chardonnay and the Shakespeare offer a true 19th hole. About Nothing can be a perfect place to save face with a double or nothing, running up the score on your opponent, or just work on your short game a little more before calling it a day.
Vineyards work their way through much of the course.
Shoulder-high vines wrap their way alongside holes and make for both lovely scenery and a rather unique out of bounds. Many of the holes are literally built into and defined by the vineyards lining its fairways. One has to wonder how many golfers have ducked a few rows deep to retrieve a errant ball, and while in among the dewy vines, perchance were overcome with Shakespearean iambic pentameter. Plenty of water compliments the vineyards, only challenging the player even more. The 500 acres of the Chardonnay Golf Club include 350 acres of golf and 150 acres of Chardonnay and Merlot vineyards.
