Silverado Resort & Spa - South Course

A championship parkland test through Napa Valley wine country where rolling oak-lined fairways and strategic water play deliver pure golfing satisfaction.

About the Course

Silverado Resort's South Course offers a more player-friendly alternative to its demanding North sibling, yet it remains a thoroughly engaging championship experience routed through the heart of Napa Valley wine country. Redesigned by PGA Hall of Famer Johnny Miller and originally crafted by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the course weaves through undulating terrain with towering oak groves, strategic water crossings, and tightly manicured greens that demand precision. The setting—1,200 rolling acres of vineyards and oak groves—creates an almost dreamlike backdrop where the business of scoring golf takes a backseat to the sensory experience of being in one of California's most prestigious golf destinations.

What makes the South Course special for groups is its accessibility without sacrifice. The layout offers gettable par 5s, manageable routing, and varied elevation changes that challenge skilled players while remaining forgiving for weekend warriors. The course earns consistent praise for impeccable conditioning, with firm greens featuring pronounced tiers that reward solid approach play. Groups here find the pace of play cooperative and the on-site amenities—from the legendary burger dogs at the turn to unlimited range balls and practice facilities—more than justify the experience.

Beyond the fairways lies a world-class resort that caters to golf groups effortlessly. You'll stay on the 1,200-acre property with options ranging from classic guestrooms to sprawling suites with kitchens and fireplaces, all just steps from the first tee. A 16,000-square-foot spa, three pools, tennis courts, bocce ball, and championship-caliber dining at The Grill restaurant ensure your entire group remains fully entertained and pampered between rounds. For Napa Valley visitors, the resort's location provides seamless access to the Silverado Trail and hundreds of wineries, making this the ultimate pairing of golf and wine country.
