 Mount
Saint Helena Golf Course is located on the grounds
of the Napa County Fair in beautiful Calistoga, California at the
north end of the Napa Valley. It is located on the Northwest corner
of the Napa County Fairgrounds, with entry off of Grant Street The
golf course facility, a nine-hole layout, par 36 (2,759 yards) is
attractive to golfers of all ages and skill levels. The course is
ideal for the novice or younger player because of its length, flat
layout, and open architecture. It can be a challenge to the more
advanced players because of its narrow tree-lined fairways and smaller
greens which demand more accuracy.
 Bicycling
- As opposed to a guided tour where you simply following the leader
, our self-guided tour is geared toward you, personally. We give
you all the tools we think you may need to have a great day in the
peaceful Calistoga vineyards and wineries and then set you out on
your own to explore. Your own personal check-in time between 10:00am
and noon in our new Calistoga Cool Wine Tour Center - or, "Wine
Hut" for short - will ensure that we have plenty of time to
help you set up your day. We even make reservations at spas and
restaurants for you if you like! The new Calistoga Cool Wine Tour
Center at Calistoga Bikeshop First, our wine touring concierge will
provide an overview of the different participating wineries in and
around Calistoga, and together you will choose a route to meet your
wishes and expectations. In addition, you will also get a fun, short
educational piece on the art of wine tasting, if you like, with
a little "cheat-sheet" to take along. A souvenir wine
tasting glass, which is yours to keep, and a special wristband will
entitle you to free tastings at our participating wineries and discounts
at a local deli for you to choose your own picnic lunch
 Oat
Hill Mine Road - During the 19th century this was a
busy road, the trail was used to hauls supplies and ore to the mine
camp at the top of the hill. There was also a stagecoach route which
followed along this trail. When you are riding up the Oat Hill Mine
Trail it is very easy to visualize someone struggling up this road
in a horse drawn wagon or stagecoach. The path would be difficult,
as the trail gets very narrow and washed out in places. Higher up
the trail there are ruts carved by the wagon into solid rock of
the trail. The mine was closed eventually and the stagecoach made
obsolete by trains and later cars. The trail fell into disuse until
adventurous motorists with 4 wheel drive trucks and jeeps discovered
the trail. For the 4-wheelers this place was a great challenge.
The trail was so narrow at points that would scrape the paint off
of the side of the truck to squeeze past the narrow spots. Eventually
in the late 80's this path was closed to 4 wheel drive vehicles
because of fatalities on this trail.
 Chardonnay
Golf Club
is a 27-hole semi-private golf facility located Southeast of the

golfers are not asked to play amidst any private residences. Our
27-holes of semi-private championship golf offer a variety of challenges
for players of all skill levels. The 27-hole layout features three
nine-hole courses named Lakes, Meadows and Vineyards. The opportunity
to play three different 18-hole combinations presents the golfer

and feature numerous lakes and creek crossing, a wide variety of
native flora and fauna.

Hiking Mount Saint Helena
- The journey to Mount Saint Helena’s summit takes you high
above the Napa Valley vineyards and through territory that inspired
some of Robert Louis Stevenson’s writing. Upon reaching your
lofty goal, you’ll see Northern California’s hills,
ridges, and mountains stretching in all directions. Bring binoculars.
Robert
Louis Stevenson State Park is the place where the famous
author of Treasure Island and Kidnapped spent his honeymoon in 1880.
Although nothing remains of Stevenson’s cabin, the site is
identified on the trail to the summit. The area features rough terrain,
with evergreen forests in the canyons on north-facing slopes and
chaparral on the south-facing slopes. There is a five-mile hike
to the top of Mt. St. Helena from which one can see much of the
Bay Area. On good days the top of Mt. Shasta can be seen, 192 miles
in the distance.

philosophy: We are the locals. We live and work in the areas we
