SILVERADO COUNTRY CLUB & RESORT
🇺🇸 Napa, CA, USA
Designed by Johnny Miller, Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
The South Course at Silverado Country Club & Resort sits in the heart of Napa Valley wine country, where Robert Trent Jones, Jr. completed the original design in 1967. Johnny Miller, who grew up playing golf in Northern California and later became a major champion and television commentator, undertook a significant renovation of the course in the mid-2010s. Miller's work modernized the layout while respecting the Jones framework, updating green complexes, bunker shapes, and strategic elements to challenge contemporary players.
The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the valley floor, with mature oak trees lining many fairways and framing holes. Water features come into play on several holes, and the layout requires accuracy off the tee and thoughtful approach play into greens that feature subtle contours and strategic bunkering. The setting provides views of the surrounding Napa Valley hillsides, though the course itself plays through parkland rather than vineyard landscape.
Silverado has hosted professional golf, most notably serving as a venue on the PGA Tour schedule. The course has seen competitive play in various Tour events over the decades, giving it exposure among professional players and contributing to its reputation in Northern California golf circles. The resort setting means the course is accessible to visiting golfers, and it functions as part of a larger property that includes lodging, dining, and wine country amenities typical of the Napa region.
