Rancho Solano Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

10th tee Photo submitted by rsluther on 02/18/2013
Great and challenging course for any type of player
This is a great and challenge course to play. Had later and the green play well. The pace of play was great didn't have to wait at any tee boxes.
Slow slow play
They scheduled so many tee times that it took forever for me to play. There was two foursomes in front of my that were slow as snails. I was given the option to play thru on the first foursome. But then I was just on the tails of the next foursome. Other than that, the course is pretty nice. I would’ve enjoyed it with a faster pace play.
Rancho Solano.
Excellent course. Well maintained. Friendly Staff.
Good course.
Great all around experience. GolfNow Hot deal. $54 with cart around 12:30pm. Good overall layout. I was pleasantly surprised wth the greens. They can be very slick. Staff was very hospitable. I will definitely play again.
Rancho Solano.
EXCELLENT COURSE. Every hole is challenging and full of excitement. The only issue is when I tried to book thru Golf Now a twilight tee time 3 or 4 days earlier because I love to walk, It always say no more tee time but when I tried the day itself I was able to get a tee time. Big question mark. But I'm always happy each and every time I play at Rancho Solano*****
Great place to play
Beautiful course!! Staff very friendly. I definitely will be back.
Great to be Back
First round since the COVID-19 shut down. The course was in excellent condition. Really liked the way the course used a filler in the flag holes so that you still had pretty much the same feeling when putting. Think this is the best alternative I've heard of. All things considered the day exceeded my expectations, carts were sanitized before using them. Looking forward to playing on of my favorite course in the Bay Area again.
Very beautiful course
Day started out very slow my tee time was 12:35 we finally got to tee off at1:10 I was told the computer overbooked you and I know that makes no sense whatsoever. The course’s in excellent condition very beautiful with the rolling hills in the back ground paced of play was slow but was expected with the late start, saying all that I would still recommend playing.
Beautiful layout
Well designed and good maintenance including putting area
very nice but very crowded.
so many slow players are here. even though marshal tried to make it faster.
Pure greens and decent fairways for Winter
Played Rancho Solano today and was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Booked a twilight round for 43 bucks and had an excellent time. Staff was friendly and the course was in great shape for it being the middle of winter. Greens were some of the best I’ve seen, especially for a public course that has lots of traffic. Would definitely recommend this course and I can’t wait to play it again.
Better than most for a public course
I play this course at least once a week. I’ve played many private courses in the US as well as In Asia. This course ranks among the best. While it lacks a locker room as most US course do, the course is very well maintained and the up and down layout is well layed out and challenging. Many NorCal tournaments are held on this course.
This course is in great condition for a public course
Great condition and layout at a reasonable price. The course also has very large greens.
