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.

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.

Airrated greens the day I went

The greens were aerated the day I went but everything else was fairly nice. I would recommend to a friend to play there but in the future when the greens are back to normal!

Great Day

What a day to play golf. Teed off @ 8:00am and finished around 12:15. It was a beautiful day, the course is in great shape. The greens are massive and of course my approaches left me miles away from the pin. For the 1st time playing I have to say I love the course and will be back. Wish the courses in Alameda County were like this course.

Course in Excellent Condition

Everything was perfect except for the pace of play. We payed a very good deal of less than $20 when the standard rate is about $60.

Fairways and green were in top shape.

Aside from the slow pace of play, our other complaint was the cart we used was defective and kept stalling in our last 6 holes...
