Play Through at These 3 Napa, CA Golf Courses

Whether you are an Arnold Palmer in the making or new to the sport, golf is a sport of passion and determination for millions. In addition to the strategizing and conditioning, part of the appeal is experiencing the lush green beauty of the many manicured golf courses around the world. Among the most truly stunning locations in which to play a round, a good game of golf will quickly make you realize that Napa Valley is much more than simply winemaking.

Silverado Resort

Set on 1,200 acres and surrounded by award-winning wineries and rolling green hills, the Silverado Resort is a beautiful resort and spa with premium amenities and outstanding service. In addition to the five on-site restaurants, 10 swimming pools, and sumptuous guest rooms, Silverado is home to two PGA championship golf courses. PGA Hall of Fame member Johnny Miller redesigned the two sites and offers some of the best golf instruction in the Napa Valley. 

In addition to the two full 18-hole courses, Silverado offers a full-length turf driving range, large practice putting and chipping greens and instructional programs for juniors through seasoned adult players. In case you need to pick up a new putting wedge or extra tees, visit the well-appointed pro shop for all of your golf equipment and wardrobe needs.

Vintner’s Golf Club

Nestled in the charming Napa Valley town of Yountville, Vinter’s Golf Club has received numerous awards for its pristine nine-hole resort course. It’s a great choice for people who would like to get in a quick game of golf and still have time in the day to explore the endless activities in the Napa Valley region.

After you’ve played and worked up an appetite, meet up with friends at Vintner’s Lakeside Grill. With numerous breakfast and lunch options, there is something for everyone from a hearty meal to a light snack.

Meadowood Golf Club

Part of the exclusive Meadowood Resort, St. Helena’s Meadowood Golf Club is a nine-hole walking course set among mature trees and manicured lawns. The lack of motorized vehicles on the course adds to the charm, harkening back to a simpler way of playing in the early days of the game. Meadowood offers top-notch instructional programs to new players or experienced golfers looking to tighten up their games a bit.

In addition to golf, the club is a hub of outdoor activity with offerings ranging from croquet to swimming. Over four miles of hiking trails dot the Meadowood Resort grounds, and seven outdoor hard-surface courts are available for volleying or competitive play.

Once you have had your fill of exertion, head over to the resort’s main building for a special dining experience in one of the many spectacular dining options. Enjoy a more relaxed meal at the Grill or Poolside dining venues which offer unparalleled views of the St. Helena landscape.

Even people who have never picked up a golf club have been known to play only in the Napa Valley simply because it provides incredible views, social experiences, and memories for a lifetime.
