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.

Good course!!

Overall, the course is in a very good condition. Tee Box is clean. Fairway has divots but fairly good and the green in great shape!

For a season of hot weather, we saw the service cart on the second hole and then never the rest of the course...

Nice course well maintained but as usual some services to assist players on a hot afternoon would be better!

Fantastic Course - Fun and Challenging

This course is well maintained and beautiful. It feels like private courses I've played in the past. Tee boxes are in good shape, holes are fun and interesting in their layout, lots of big hills and uneven lies, the greens are extremely fast and sloped. There are many places where it may be better to be 30 yards in front of the green than 10 feet above and behind it. Overall ice, the course feels like it is for more advanced golfers, which makes for a good challenging round. The downside to this challenge is bad golfers playing with very little Marshall management of pace of play. According to the local we played with, expect a 5 hour round. Our round was 5 hours on the dot on a weekday. I will definitely play here again.

Must play

One of the few courses that still take pride in course conditions. Tee box’s, fairways and greens are in excellent conditions. Most expensive course around but well worth it. If your around a 100 play later in the day but you won’t regret it. If your an 80’s guy, you must play before 0900.

Great course, one of the best for the money deals in NorCal

I've played dozens of courses in the Bay Area, and over to Sacramento, and Rancho is one of my top favorite places to play. The people who play there are always nice, it's laid back, but people take care of the course and is in great condition. Also, it's a great layout, and not too expensive. Highly recommend, if I lived closer I'd play there 5 times a week.
