Silverado Resort, a championship 36-hole golf resort in the heart of Napa Valley wine country, has been recognized with the Distinguished Golf Destination Award, an annual program conducted by BoardRoom Magazine in partnership with Forbes Travel Guide.
“On behalf of Boardroom Magazine in partnership with Forbes Travel Guide, we’d like to congratulate Silverado Resort for earning Distinguished Golf Destination status,” said John Fornaro, publisher BoardRoom Magazine & CEO Distinguished Clubs. “Special recognition also goes out to Silverado’s leadership team and its entire staff for their efforts in providing an exceptional golf experience.”
According to Todd Shallan, vice president and managing director of Silverado Resort, this is a significant honor for the resort, the region’s only 36-hole golf facility. “This latest accolade is a reflection of KSL Resort’s enduring commitment to taking Silverado to even higher levels of excellence with a focus on enhancing this landmark property and positioning it as Napa Valley’s premier destination.”
A renowned destination for golfers, the resort features two championship par-72, 18-hole golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, and later redesigned by golf Hall-of-Famer and former Silverado Resort owner, Johnny Miller. Over its storied history, Silverado has hosted some of golf’s greatest players and multiple PGA Tour events, including the annual Fortinet Championship held each September. With oak-lined fairways, dozens of water crossings and notable elevation changes, Silverado’s 6,793-yard North Course and 6,685-yard South Course offer a challenge for professionals but are also designed to accommodate golfers of all levels. Managed by Troon Golf, Silverado’s golf facilities have earned multiple accolades over the years, including Golfweek’s Top 200 Resort Courses ranking and the 2022 Regional Golf Course of the Year (Region 4)” by the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA).
Unique to the industry, BoardRoom Magazine’s entirely merit-based Distinguished Golf Destinations award program uses a rating system that recognizes the facility, its management and its staff based on a proprietary criteria and validation process.
Most important about the Distinguished Golf Destination Award, said Silverado’s director of club operations Cody Sherrill, is that Silverado is not only being honored for its golf services, facilities and leadership, but also for providing an overall exceptional golf experience. “With an array of high-end services – from top notch golf instruction to brand new tech-centric golf carts with GPS and Bluetooth music – as well as a stunning setting situated amidst the rolling hills of Napa Valley’s wine country, Silverado offers extraordinary golf experiences for golfers of all ages and aptitudes. We are honored to see this reflected in our latest accolade.”
