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.

Know where to hit them

The course is in good shape. Scoring is made difficult if the ball is not in the right place in the fairway. The greens are HUGE and three putts are common if you don't know where to land the ball on the green which can be dictated by where you start from in the fairway. Once you know the course you probably save about five strokes.

Challenging but fair

Plays longer than the actual yardage. Caught it on a real windy day which made it hard to score. Fairways were excellent. Greens were receptive and rolled consistent. Typical California greens. Feel real soft under your feet but actually roll out pretty good.

A beautiful course to play

The fairways and greens are in excellent shape. Enjoyed a great round. Humongous greens, but you need to hit the ball on the low side. It's very challenging to play it for me.

Beautiful!!

I’m sure most reviews of this course will be the same. The course was in perfect condition. The staff was excellent (including the course marshall who stopped to chat briefly). Burger at the turn was delicious. A great day all the way around!
