About

Holes 18
Type Municipal
Par 72
Length 6632 yards
Slope 133
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.

Five Hours and twenty minutes.....

I play Rancho Solano a lot. One of my favorite courses in the area. But a weekday morning round should not take 5:20 to complete! It was so slow that one of the players in our foursome had to leave before completing the round. As we were teeing off on 18 another group of three drove past, saying they were giving up. I think the problem was the foursome two groups in front of us. As you approach the 16th tee, you can see both 17 and 18 fairways. Both were empty.

Great greens, Fairways, Tee Boxes.... Very well maintained. Nice & quiet, with no major roads or freeways nearby. If I were to make one suggestion, I would suggest you fluff up the bunkers a little bit better if it’s possible. Some of them were pretty hard.

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.
