Silverado Resort (North and South Courses)

Tour golf, once you have checked in.

Silverado sits at the foot of Atlas Peak on the eastern edge of Napa, about five minutes from downtown, and it is one of the few places where you can play a current PGA Tour venue in wine country. There is a condition: both 18-hole courses are kept for resort guests and club members, so the round comes with a room. The North Course has staged the tour’s autumn stop in Napa since 2014, now called the Procore Championship, and the South is its gentler companion. Around them are roughly 1,200 acres, a spa and the white mansion that General John Franklin Miller built in the 1860s.

Silverado Resort (North and South Courses) green fees and tee times.

Tee times are only for registered resort guests and Silverado members; there is no public green fee. Reserve a room first, then call the golf shop on 707-257-5460. The resort does not publish an online tee sheet or a booking window, so ask about times when you make the room reservation. The Golf Getaway package is the simplest way in: up to 30% off the room and green fees, one round per person per day, free golf from 2pm on the day you arrive, and unlimited range balls and club storage. It needs a room booking, is priced for one person with a charge for each extra guest, cannot be combined with other offers and is not open to groups or wedding parties.

The courses at Silverado Resort (North and South Courses).

North Course

Par 72 and 6,793 yards on the resort card, rated 72.6 with a slope of 133. The signature is the 11th, a 174-yard par three over water. The 7th, at 209 yards, is the longest short hole; water lies right of the 344-yard 8th with out of bounds left; a hazard runs the full left side of the par-five 16th, and redwoods can block a drive pulled left on the 17th. The 539-yard 18th is the longest hole.

South Course

Par 72 and 6,685 yards, with the same 72.6 rating and a slightly lower slope of 131. Two of its four par threes come in the last four holes, the 15th and 17th, so the finish asks more of your irons than your driver. Big oaks line the left of the 1st, a creek crosses the bottom of the 6th landing area before the hardest green on the course, the 9th has water left of the green and the 13th has out of bounds on both sides.

The round, in perspective.

Golf here began in 1955 with a single 18 that is now the North. Robert Trent Jones Jr. reworked it in 1966 and added the South, and after Johnny Miller joined the ownership group in 2010 he led a further redesign that stretched the North by about 250 yards. Milliken Creek, a tributary of the Napa River, threads through the property and brings water into play on both layouts. The North hosted tour events from 1968 to 1980, the South staged Champions Tour golf from 1989 to 2002, and the tour returned in 2014. Max Homa won in 2021 and 2022, and Scottie Scheffler in 2025, with the professionals playing the North at 7,138 yards. In October 2017 wildfires reached parts of the resort only hours after that year’s event had finished.

Make the trip work.

Hotel check-in is at 4pm, which is why the arrival-day golf on the Getaway package matters: you can play before the room is ready. The daily resort fee covers golf bag storage among other things; ask for the current figure when you book. If you would rather not fly with clubs, the shop rents and fits sets, and Ship Sticks runs a dedicated Silverado shipping page. The tournament comes round in September or October, so check the PGA Tour schedule before fixing autumn dates, because the North is prepared for the professionals that week.

The resort gives its distances as about 45 miles from Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, 55 from Oakland (OAK), 61 from San Francisco International (SFO) and 70 from Sacramento (SMF). Silverado does not run an airport shuttle, but the concierge (707-257-5436) can book one. A hire car makes most sense: downtown Napa is five minutes away and Yountville and Calistoga lie further up the valley.

Where it is.

Somewhere to settle in.

Staying on site is the ticket to the first tee. Silverado has more than 300 rooms, suites and cottages, including two- and three-bedroom cottages and some suites with full kitchens, which suit a group splitting costs. Food is at The Grill, the Mansion Bar and a café-market, and the spa has 16 treatment rooms plus an outdoor whirlpool, sauna and steam rooms. The Play + Recover package pairs a tee time with a recovery massage.

Make a trip of it.

One round on each course, on consecutive mornings, leaves the afternoons free for tastings. Napa also has public golf: the city-owned Napa Golf Course at Kennedy Park and Eagle Vines in American Canyon are both short drives south, so contact them directly for current rates. For a longer California trip, Pasatiempo in Santa Cruz and the Monterey Peninsula courses covered on this site are roughly two to three hours south by road. Off the course, the Napa Valley Wine Train is an easy half-day.

Find your season.

Both courses open at 7am all year, weather permitting. Napa has dry summers and a wetter winter, and the grape harvest runs from late summer into October, when hotel demand peaks across the valley. The tour week falls in September or October; Golf Getaway rates are offered across the year, subject to availability.
