Whether you’re looking for a casual public round or a luxury resort experience, Napa Valley delivers scenic fairways with a side of Wine Country charm.

Many courses are located just minutes from tasting rooms and restaurants, making it easy to combine a morning on the course with an afternoon of wine tasting. From championship-level resort courses to welcoming public greens, here are some of the best places to play golf in Napa Valley.

Semi-Private Courses

From luxury resort experiences to clubs with picturesque fairways, these semi-private courses are great options for serious golfers and travelers who want to make golf a highlight of their Napa getaway.

Located in the eastern hills of Napa, Silverado Resort features two championship courses originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. Most legendary is The North Course—recently rated “Best Golf Course” by Napa Valley Life—which hosts the annual PGA Championship and offers a challenging layout framed by oak trees and vineyard views. The South Course, on the other hand, is ideal for a more casual round. Rounds are exclusive to Silverado Resort guests and members, but it’s worth paying a visit or joining membership—not just for the great course but also the array of amenities.
