Napa Municipal Golf Club at Kennedy Park

Napa Municipal Golf Club at Kennedy Park serves the city of Napa as a public facility designed by Jack Fleming. The course sits within Kennedy Park in the southern portion of the Napa Valley, offering accessible golf in a region better known for its vineyards and wine tourism. Fleming's design work in Northern California during the mid-twentieth century typically emphasized playable layouts suited to municipal operations, and this course reflects that practical approach to public golf architecture. The routing works through relatively flat terrain characteristic of the valley floor, with mature trees lining many fairways and defining the playing corridors. Water features come into play on several holes, adding strategic interest to what is otherwise a straightforward layout. The course measures modest in length by contemporary standards, making it approachable for recreational players while still requiring accurate iron play and course management. As Napa's primary municipal facility, the course serves a diverse membership of local residents and visitors exploring the valley. The setting provides views toward the surrounding hillsides that frame the Napa Valley, though the course itself maintains a parkland character rather than integrating directly with vineyard landscapes. Kennedy Park's broader recreational amenities complement the golf course, making it a community gathering point beyond its function as a public golf venue.
