Silverado Golf and Country Club
About this course
Silverado Golf and Country Club sits in Zephyrhills, a small city in Pasco County roughly thirty miles northeast of Tampa. The course was designed by Robert Simmons, a Florida-based architect who worked primarily in the state during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Simmons designed numerous courses across Florida's Gulf Coast and central regions, typically creating layouts suited to the flat terrain and residential community settings common to the area. The course occupies land characteristic of west-central Florida: relatively level with scattered pines, palms, and native vegetation. Water features—ponds and retention areas—appear throughout the routing, serving both drainage purposes and strategic functions on several holes. The layout follows conventions typical of Florida community courses from its era, with fairways framed by housing and natural areas, and greens that incorporate modest elevation changes within an otherwise flat property. Silverado functions as part of a residential golf community, serving members and their guests in a setting focused on year-round playability. The club includes amenities standard to Florida country clubs of its type: a clubhouse with dining facilities and social spaces supporting the membership. The course provides a straightforward test of golf suited to a range of skill levels, with length and hazard placement determining much of the challenge rather than dramatic landforms or severe architectural features.

Getting there
Most travelers bound for Silverado Golf and Country Club touch down at Tampa International Airport, a straightforward forty-minute drive northeast into the rolling countryside of Pasco County. The route follows Interstate 75 before peeling east onto State Road 54, where suburban sprawl gradually yields to horse pastures, citrus groves, and the quiet rural character that defines this corner of central Florida. As you approach Zephyrhills - a town known more for its spring water and skydiving than resort fanfare - the final turn onto Silverado's grounds feels like a discovery, a private enclave tucked discreetly into the landscape where old Florida leisure still holds sway.
