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.

Average Day at Rancho

Rancho Solano is a nice course, but overpriced for the quality of play. Today was especially hot (104 degrees). Again, the pace of play was somewhat slow. The greens are in good shape.

Fun course

Greens are fast and fun, a little hard to read and a few three putts are bound to happen but they are fun and challenging. Course is always in awesome shape, I have no problem driving about 50 miles to play this course weekly.

Course was great as usual, GolfNow was terrible, arrived at course tee time was not booked and had to wait an hour to play, thank god rancho staff was on it and helped us out. This course is an hour drive from my house and wasn’t contacted by golf now until I was well on my way to course, very disappointed in golf now.

A hidden gem of a course

The staff is wonderful and the course is always very well maintained. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are perfect and kept in great condition year round. the course layout is both challenging and forgiving at the same time and alot of fun. I play here regularly a couple times a week and it's one of my favorite courses. Additionally, the prices are very reasonable given the quality of the course. Any comparative private course would easily charge more than double what Rancho normally charges. The only downside is that the course can play very slow on busy days with tournaments and especially on the weekends when the weather is nice but I guess that's expected at any great golf course. Keep up the great work. Thank you
