Nestled on 1,200 rolling acres of oak groves and vineyards in the heart of Napa Valley, Silverado's North Course stands as one of California's premier championship layouts. Originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in the 1950s and later refined by PGA Hall of Famer Johnny Miller (now a co-owner), this tight, tree-lined course demands accuracy off the tee and rewards strategic course management. The North Course presents narrow fairways flanked by century-old oaks, small yet dramatically contoured greens that confound even tour professionals, and signature water carries including the stunning par-3 11th over water. With a slope rating of 134 and hosting the annual Fortinet Championship (formerly the Safeway Open), this course offers the full PGA Tour experience without the gallery.
What makes the North Course truly special is the subtle complexity beneath its classic design. The greens are the star of the show—small, undulating, and seemingly innocent until your ball stops on a slope you didn't see. Bunkers are strategically placed in brilliant white splashes, and elevation changes add personality to nearly every hole. Playing here feels like stepping into golf history while competing against a course that respects your game but rarely gives anything away.
The resort experience is equally compelling. Spread across the sprawling property are luxury accommodations, a world-class spa, multiple restaurants, and amenities from tennis courts to bocce ball. The combination of championship golf, wine country sophistication, and genuine hospitality makes Silverado an unforgettable destination. After your round, retreat to the grill restaurant, browse the pro shop, or indulge in treatment at the full-service spa—all without leaving the property.
