Rancho Solano Golf Course
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
Nice Course, but WOW, what a back nine
Rancho Solano is a very nice course, and the staff here are great. The greens and fairways are in very good shape. The front nine is fairly fair, but the first 3 holes of the back nine, and #18 are very humbling.
Great course, tough greens.
This is my first time here at the Rancho Solano and I was very impressed with the sights of the golf course. The tee boxes, the fairways and the greens are maticulately well maintained.
This is one of my longer rounds. We spent most of the time on the putting greens because they are tough to read and the speed is hard to control for us. On some greens, it seemed like the more we putted, the farther from the holes we got!
I’ll definitely come back but hope we’ll get a much better score next time!
Course is in awesome shape
Played with my friends today. Course is challenging, but fun. Greens are really good. Balls stick and we got backspin some be aggressive since greens are huge. Otherwise you could easily 3 putt even though you are on in regulation. We will have our revenge n the course soon ... lol ;)
Course was smooth
Haven’t played this course in a very long time. I enjoyed playing the course. Still friendly if you hit your clubs right ... lol! Wind was not a factor too much for us in the morning. Played 18 holes in 4 hours and 15 minutes. It was nice to have no back up on any holes.
Great course, horriblempave
The course was in great shape. The pace of play was horrible. I’ve honestly never played a round that went 5+ hours. My tee time was already 20 minutes delayed and every hole it just got longer!
In great shape!
Rancho is probably in the best shape I've seen it in. The greens rolled true and the fairways were manicured. Can't wait to play again.
Don’t believe the crappy reviews!
This course was a pleasant surprise! I read the last posted review and set my expectations. Great lay out! Great staff in the club house! Great pace! Great location! Well kept!
Worth the drive
I live in Sacramento but my friend and I drove to play this course and it was worth the trip. Rolling fairways and elevated tees with fairways framed with water. It is challenging from the blue tees but it is fair.
Always enjoyable
One of my favorite courses in the area. Today, pave of play was excellent. Course overall in good shape.
Good course
Course in great shape, greens huge, but Sticky. Go at the flag, because you not rolling it to the pin. Enjoyed course as I did on prior occasions.
Challenging and fun
Course was in great condition. Speed of play was very good. Greens were well maintained, fast and fair. Great place for weekday golf.
My new favorite course
This was my fourth time playing this course. It's about an hour away or I would play more often. The course is beautiful and well maintained. No complaints at all. Beware holes 11 & 12 with water. This time I escaped without losing a ball, better than previous efforts. On 12 hit a driver - better long than short.
AWESOME COURSE!!!
One of the nicest around Solano County. Brand new carts although these ones don't have the built in GPS like the old ones. Course well kept from the tee box to the greens. Keep up the good work!
Excellent Course
I think this course is the best course in the greater Bay Area. The fairways are excellent and greens well maintained. For the price it's a great value
Great condition
I’ve been playing this course for about 15 years. It’s always in great shape. The layout is challenging but fair. It’s a good value and has become one of my favorite courses in the greater Bay Area. I try to play here at least 20 times a year.
Enjoyable Holiday round
Was worried this was going to be a death march as it was a holiday afternoon. But pace of play was decent and the course was in nice shape. Very enjoyable!
