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.

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!

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.

Perfect weather for a perfect course.

It was the most rewarding experience playing this gem. Scored +4 that was the best in 8 years. Very good score considering my health condition and age. It was well worth driving 65 miles one way. Rather drive the distance for a good course than just a short drive for a mediocre course.

Totally enjoyed the day’s outing. Plan to take my guests from overseas to the Rancho Solano next month.

Thanks again for a good job to GolfNow in getting the good courses like this.

Stay away

This is easily the best public course in Solano county. Country club-like conditions. Challenging greens are huge so prepare for some three putts. Holes 10-12 provide a bit of an “Amen Corner.” Poa annua greens are typically bumpy later in the day.

Lovely day at Rancho

Beautiful day, course, and playing partners! Our foursome teed off at 8 AM and finished at 12 PM. Course is in great shape. The greens are massive and contoured treacherously. Always a challenging course to play.
