Silverado Resort & Spa North Course

Where PGA Tour legends play wine country's most exacting test—narrow fairways, small sloping greens, and autumn harvests make this unmissable.

About the Course

Silverado's North Course is a championship track that will humble even experienced golfers. Co-owned by PGA Hall of Famer Johnny Miller and redesigned under his vision, this Robert Trent Jones Sr. original demands precision off the tee and reads on lightning-fast greens that rank among the trickiest in California. Sitting on 1,200 rolling acres of oak groves in the heart of Napa Valley wine country, the course plays through mature trees with narrow fairways and strategic water hazards on par 3s 11 and 15. The signature hole—a short par 3 over water—looks deceptively simple but has cost countless golfers more than par. This isn't a resort course that coddles; it's a tournament-caliber test that hosts the PGA Tour's annual Fortinet Championship each fall. Yet the setting is pure Napa magic—vineyards in the distance, oak-lined fairways, and a backdrop that reminds you why you came here in the first place. Stay on property and wrap your round with a Silverado burger dog and wine from the valley you just gazed at all day. Groups of serious golfers will find this course as rewarding as it is punishing—the kind of track you'll replay in your head for years.

Best Time to Visit
April through October for pristine playing conditions and warm weather. September-October are peak season: the PGA Tour's Fortinet Championship happens in October, vineyards are in harvest mode, and temperatures in the mid-80s are ideal. Book early for September and October. November offers autumn foliage and fewer crowds. Winter (December-February) is the budget option with clear, sunny days but cooler temps (50s-60s). Avoid mid-November through early January due to higher holiday demand and rates.
