Rating 71.8

Rancho Solano Golf Course sits midway between San Francisco and Sacramento, a location that makes it easily accessible from all the cities in the Bay Area. The course sprawls across hilly terrain, providing the layout with elevated tees and dramatically undulating greens. It is a tough course to walk but it's possible. Sparkling lakes dot the hills, coming into play on a few holes. There are also numerous strategically placed bunkers to contend with. The expansive greens offer some room for error but pin placement is still important. The first three holes on the back nine are some of Rancho Solano Golf Course's most challenging, especially the par-4 11th hole. Club selection is the key to this hole or you might lose your ball to the lake and even once you do seemingly reach safety, there are still bunkers backing the large green.

Great course

This was my first time playing this course. I found it to be in very good condition, considering we’re still in winter time.

It’s a forgiving layout, but a great challenge.

I will play again, and recommend to friends.

Course was in very good condition for the most part. Several wet areas and some of the rough was very thick. Greens had been sanded fairly recently.

Winter Delight

Rancho Solano was an awesome golf gettaway for this weekend warrior! The course was in awesome shape and the greens were spectacular. We lucked out on the weather- it only rained here and there! Every staff person we met was kind and welcoming. The bar/restaurant at the turn had everything you could need, including awesome happy hour specials! My buddy and I loved the course and will return soon. Thank you!

Rancho Solano is a sure bet

Rancho Solano is one of the best public courses in the Bay Area. Tee times are hard to come by at times, but, if you can get one to your liking, you will be sure to have a fantastic day of golf. The course is always in great shape with some of the most challenging greens in California. The layout seems straightforward, don’t be fooled, it is challenging. Golfers that knock the ball straight with every shot will have no problem getting around this course. For the golfers that live on the edge and like to take risks, the rewards will be great if you pull the shot off. Be forewarned, there is trouble to be found for miss hits.

A wonderful lovely course

The course is not only in good shape but the staff is great. The iced cold towel and water provided by the staff (going around the holes) at the course made our game more enjoyable under the sunny sky! Thanks for the very special treatment! Rancho Solano is definitely a wonderful lovely course.
