(Napa, Calif.) – Silverado Resort and Spa has been named the 2020 “California Golf Course of the Year” by the California Golf Course Owners Association (CGCOA) Board of Directors. The CGCOA Board recognized Silverado Resort and Spa for its connection to the PGA TOUR, all that the courses and region have had to overcome in recent years, and the exemplary characteristics of the property.
The CGCOA Course of the Year award honors a California golf course demonstrating excellence in five areas: exceptional quality of the course, exemplary water stewardship practices, exceptional quality of ownership and management, outstanding contribution to its community, and significant contribution to the game. The Course of the Year Award winners come from the CGCOA’s core membership, which make an outstanding contribution to the game of golf in their markets, and are model operations to their peers.
“We considered several courses this year, each of which had a compelling story, but in the end Silverado really was a very clear choice,” said Marc Connerly, Executive Director, California Golf Course Owners Association. “We believe that Silverado will represent California very strongly in the national Course of the Year competition.”
Silverado Resort and Spa’s two 18-hole, par-72 championship golf courses (North and South) were originally designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Both courses were redesigned by World Golf Hall of Fame member and resort owner Johnny Miller. The quality of the courses is such that the PGA TOUR begins its season at Silverado, playing the Safeway Open in September. The 2020 Safeway Open was won by Stewart Cink and was executed in a safe, COVID-free manner without spectators, all while under the pre-tournament threat of California wildfires.
Led by Miller’s efforts, Silverado has experienced a resurgence over the last decade and is once again considered an iconic Northern California destination. With renovations to the golf courses, mansion building and guest rooms, guests experience modern day luxury while honoring the resort’s tradition and history. Ownership continues to invest in the property and there is a spirit of continual progress.
Over the last four years, the region has dealt with fires, power outages, poor air quality, record setting rainfall and now COVID-19. Through these challenges and obstacles, Silverado has persevered, while helping the surrounding community. The resort has provided shelter, meals, financial contributions and many memorable outings for members of the community. From celebrating the local fire departments and first responders to supporting four local high school golf programs, serving from the heart is a daily theme at Silverado.
“Our team is grateful to be honored for all of the hard work put forth this year to overcome many challenges. We are very appreciative of our partnership with Troon and organizations like the CGCOA that have provided resources to help us succeed. We welcome all to come and enjoy soon,” said John Evans, General Manager of Silverado Resort and Spa.
