Solano – Hiddenbrooke Golf Club

Heading out for a day on the golf links there are seemingly endless options as far as where to go. If you just can’t decide, how about Local Happenings’ top pick for Solano County? Hiddenbrooke Golf Club, an Arnold Palmer Signature-designed golf course, is our winner this year.

“The greens are always good, the golf course is manicured impeccably, there’s no two holes alike,” says Eric Thompson, General Manager for Hiddenbrooke Golf Club. “It’s like a different golf course every time. You can play it every day and not get bored.”

In addition to superb grooming conditions and excellent service, Hiddenbrooke is particularly designed with the player in mind. “It’s a challenging golf course, but fun in the same right,” Thompson says. “You don’t have a bunch of blind shots out here. Tough is one thing, but being able to score is another. You can see the greens; you know where your next shot is going; you’re not guessing where to hit.” It’s for reasons like this that Hiddenbrooke has won best golf course in the region.

Napa – Silverado Resort and Spa

The Silverado Resort and Spa is a prime example of taking what Napa wine country has to offer and turning it into an unforgettable experience. “Playing through the majestic oak trees is definitely special,” says Tim Geesy, Silverado’s Director of Golf. “When I’m out there at 4 p.m. in July, with the shadows moving across the course, that is what I remember about playing at Silverado.”

Established in 1955, Silverado has continually expanded with the changing nature of the game and technology. “But the one thing that sets us apart is the great history of the course. We’ve hosted 28 pro events throughout the years. The challenges we offer to golfers are progressing, which establishes us as a great golf course destination in Northern California.”

Geesy says that all who play are to expect a challenge, “The greens and green complex are the keys to the golf course. It differentiates the course for the experienced golfer.”
