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.

Fun easy course in very good shape

Greens were fast and smooth. Nice fairways. Sand in bunkers. Wide open generous course with big greens.

Don’t hit driver off #11, Can’t see the landing area off the tee. the fairway slopes downhill toward the lake. I’m not a long hitter but somehow made it into the lake about 310 yards off the tee. Nice double bogey after birding #10

Pace of play was a bit slow for a Monday afternoon.

My favorite public course in the area

Great course. Greens and fairways are in great condition. My complaint is the practice green is horrible. It’s in perfect condition but there is no where on the green to putt that doesn’t slope severely to the west. I mean no where. So, once you hit the first green it’s anyone’s guess as to what the speed of the greens are. Time to rebuild the practice green. Please!!!!

Late afternoon round.

I usually play as a single and get paired up. 2 wonderful Swedish gentlemen (father/son) who put up with my inconsistent play. Started on time at 1:20. Front nine was warmer than back nine…Play slowed

on back nine. Got increasingly colder as sun dropped in sky. Only got in 17 holes as the course closes at 5:30 this time of year. Rounds set at 4 1/2 hours but from our start time we only had 4 hours until closing.

Side note: Lost my IPhone between 7-8. Cart Girl/lady/woman found it immediately and got it to the clubhouse as I made the turn. Eased my tension and allowed me to keep playing… Saved My Day

Beautiful layout, minus the greens

Great looking golf course in a really neat, tucked away corner of Solano County. A lot of fairly challenging hills and dog-legs. Not the longest course, but it does require some strategic shots here and there. Water does not come into play too much on the course, but it serves as a nice scenic feature at the least. Only negative I have about this course is that the greens are ENORMOUS... We're talking 30-40 yards wide and 30-40 yards deep. And with that size of greens, you get some mini-golf type putts going. I played my wedge off the green numerous times because the distance of the putt what just not realistic. I would play again, but I (and probably the landscapers) would recommend the course shrinks some of those greens quite a bit.
