North Course
Silverado Country Club & Resort

About this course
The North Course at Silverado Country Club & Resort in Napa, California, was originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in 1967, though it has undergone significant renovations over the decades. The course was redesigned by Johnny Miller in 2011, bringing a modern tournament-ready layout to the property. Set in the heart of Napa Valley wine country, the course occupies relatively flat terrain with mature oak and eucalyptus trees lining many fairways, creating defined corridors and strategic challenges throughout the round. The North Course measures over 7,200 yards from the championship tees and features water hazards on several holes, including creeks and ponds that come into play on approach shots. The layout emphasizes accuracy off the tee and precise iron play, with well-protected greens that reward thoughtful course management. The conditioning reflects the resort's commitment to tournament-quality playing surfaces, and the routing takes advantage of the valley setting with views of the surrounding hillsides. Silverado has hosted professional golf events for many years, most notably serving as a venue on the PGA Tour schedule. The North Course has been the primary tournament course during these events, testing professionals with its length and strategic design. The resort atmosphere combines golf with Napa Valley's wine culture, and the club serves both members and resort guests. The property includes multiple courses and extensive amenities that cater to destination golfers visiting the region.

Getting there
The journey to Silverado Country Club & Resort begins at either San Francisco International or Oakland International, each roughly an hour's drive south of Napa Valley's wine country. From the airport, the route traces north through the bay's urban sprawl before yielding to the pastoral elegance of Highway 29, where vineyards begin to frame the roadside and the air takes on the faint sweetness of fermenting grapes. As you pass through the town of Napa and continue into the valley proper, a discreet turn onto Atlas Peak Road delivers you to Silverado's tree-lined entrance, where Spanish colonial architecture and championship fairways await beneath the soft, golden light that has drawn vintners and golfers alike to this storied stretch of California.
