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

From tee to green was great. Awesome place to bomb it. The views were nice and the fairway is plush. Can’t complain! Will play here again when I’m in town. Only took me 85 strokes to finish.

Spectacular course

Conditions of course are excellent. Thought I was at a private course, no blade of grass out of place.

Craige at the front desk is a great guy. Starter was friendly and provided good course info.

Nice course but very unpleasant experience

Played a 2:23 tee time on 8/13. Nice course as always but had a very unpleasant experience. Very rude group behind us. We maintained the 4hr and 15min pace but the group behind us came a few feet from hitting us on drives and approach shots on 4-5 separate occasions throughout the 18 holes. Most notable a drive on the 18th that nearly hit one of our group members on the fly. I waited at the cart drop off to see if they'd apologize but the group behind us ended up playing Hole 1 again (maybe they are members?) and NEVER apologized at the end of the round. Staff was friendly but this was VERY UNPLEASANT. Never playing here unless for a fundraising tounament if players hit onto other players keeping pace (esp if they may be members).

Good Value

My wife and I played Rancho Solano and really enjoyed it. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and the member couple we played with were also fun. Course is a good, challenging layout, with some great views. Only negative was pace of play, which was definitely on the slow side.

Always Good

Course conditions were really good. Tee boxes and greens we’ll maintained. You can see how nice the fairway grass is driving into the facility. Pace of play was good for a Sunday afternoon. Play here about once a month and it never disappoints.

Ran into the cart girl three times. That was a plus too.

Can’t wait til the next round.

Great value

Hands down one of the best courses in the bay area you can play for the money. Everything was in great shapee, even the bunkers. The only down side is the amount of play it gets. It was a Saturday afternoon, but it is still unacceptable for a round to last over 5 hrs.

Best course in Fairfield!

Been playing here since I was about 14-15 years old. I’m in my late 20s now. And it’s always been my favorite course! The course at this moment is very well taken care of. Props to the staff and management! Can’t wait to one day take my kids here.
