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.

jamming the 4 somes out there
I normally love to play this course. Its in good condition and has a lot of interesting holes. THis time was awful because Pace of Play was SLOW! we were a 3-some playing behind a 2-some and two 4 somes and god knows what in front of them. From 2 on it was wait wait wait. Repeated the front 9 instead of continuing a potential 5 hour + round. This was a thursday in the winter. No marshalls doing anything that we could notice to speed things up. Golf is not fun when you spend most of your time waiting to hit.

Beautiful setting
Course was in good shape. The greens had been aerated so were really slow. I can imagine how fast the very large greens would be normally.
