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.

I might walk next time

I don't usually have a problem sharing a cart with anyone but the last 2 times I was told I needed to share the cart with someone I don't know.(Golf now didn't say share cart when I booked) The person I had to ride with was a dictator on my driving and it got pretty annoying after 18 holes. Twice in a row now. Next time I'll either walk or they can drive. Also with COVID still running wild and being a senior citizen, rubbing elbows with a stranger for 5 hours isn't a good Idea. Maybe you should give the walker a good deal. Better than normal walking rate.

Still loving RS, best public course conditions around

Just can't beat Rancho Solano for price/course conditions. For a public track, this place has nice clear cuts of grass throughout the course and lush full fairways/rough. Greens are strongly sloped and roll true.

Best mid-priced public course in the bay area imo, absolutely worth the drive...

Greta course. I got the $39 twilight rate with a cart. Not sure I’d spend $80 on the mornings though.
