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.

1st time playing back nine first here due to junior tournaments being completed. Love the course every time I play even when it’s not loving me. High handicapper but the scenery is beautiful. Greens are fast and challenging.

1st tee time

Teed off at 6:44 with another single and a young couple. The young lady was a beginner so after the 1st hole we asked if we could go ahead of them. They were quite gracious. The course is in great shape, maybe a little wet. Greens are back and beautiful. I actually played fairly well. We ended up playing in 2 :45. Can’t wait to play again at Rancho Solano.

Gem of a course!

I really enjoyed my round at Rancho Solano. The layout has a lot of character but was still very playable. The greens are HUGE and in great shape. This may be my new favorite course.
