 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 city of Napa in Jamieson Canyon at the gateway to the
world renown Napa Valley wine district. Unlike virtually all
courses today, Chardonnay’s 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 with a unique golf destination in the bay area. All
three 9-hole courses meander through 130 acres of Chardonnay
and Merlot Vineyards 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.
