Course guide
The maintained course record, presented separately from live booking.
Silverado Resort’s North Course is an oak-lined, 18-hole Napa layout available to registered resort guests and club members. Its member Blue tees measure 6,793 yards at par 72. The resort’s North Course page has a hole-by-hole walkthrough, including the short par-3 11th played over water.
Silverado’s first 18 opened in 1955 under Ben Harmon. The resort’s golf history brochure describes a 1966 reconfiguration by Robert Trent Jones Jr. that produced the two-course facility; the current North scorecard records Johnny Miller’s 2011 redesign. The North hosted the Procore Championship through 2025. It was absent from the 2026 Tour schedule, and the PGA Tour has announced a July 2027 Sompo Championship at the North Course.
Tree-lined corridors and guarded greens reward accurate approaches. The resort’s walkthrough identifies a double-dogleg par-5 fifth and an over-water par-3 11th. The 2025 GCSAA tournament fact sheet describes Poa annua/bentgrass greens and mixed bermudagrass/Poa annua/ryegrass fairways. Its 7,138-yard competition setup uses a different routing from the member card, so those figures do not describe a standard resort round.
Silverado says golf is for registered resort guests and members. To reserve a tee time, call the golf shop at (707) 257-5460; the resort FAQ describes phone booking, and the resort lists a driving range and practice facilities. The address is 1600 Atlas Peak Road, Napa, CA 94558.
For the standard North Blue men’s 18, the USGA rating database lists 6,793 yards, par 72, 73.4/135 (TeeID 487379); its public table does not show an effective date. The resort’s linked Blue scorecard PDF agrees on yards and par but gives 73.1/135, and the course page gives an unlabeled 72.6/133. The displayed measures use one complete, named USGA row; confirm the current Blue tee markers with the golf shop.
The gallery adds Joann Dost’s aerial of North hole 18 and Jason Scott Deegan’s pond-side view of North hole 11 to the existing resort North cover. The Dost image was published in 2025, but its camera date is unknown. Deegan’s original carries an August 2016 camera timestamp; the 2023 tournament used the member eleventh as the event seventeenth. These are distinct exact-North scenes of the post-2011 design, with archival captions; they do not establish the result of 2025 tee and fairway work.

Around the course
A short geographic continuation from the maintained location record.
USGA-listed South Blue men: 6,612 yards, par 72, 72.2/133. The resort reports relocating South’s first tee and green in 2025; applicability of that rating after the work is unconfirmed. The linked 05/23 card says 72.3/133, while an unnamed resort headline says 6,685/72.6/131. Golf is limited to resort guests and members.
