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.

A very nice golf course
This course is beautiful, well maintained. I love this course. Will play again.
My Rancho Salano Experience
I played during the day, so the pace was uninhibited. Course was in good condition when I played. The greens were fast, and I had to get used to them, but the roll was true. The fairways were well maintained.
Thanks for an enjoyable round.
Nice track
Just to start out it was raining with wet conditions. The greens were still fast with some tricky putts. Not to many straight putts so getting birdies was very hard. So didn't get any. Course drained well with the light rain. Played in a little over 3 hours due to the weather. I don't live here so most likely won't be back but would if I did.
Great as always
love this course, it was overall in great condition, greens were still healing from recent punching, but they still played pretty well.
Great experience
I was in town from Colorado and found this course near me. I didn't know that the greens had just been aerated when I booked so that was a little disappointing but it is that time of year in CA. They reduced the price of the round due to the aeration so that was good.
Pace of play was good, course was in good condition, and it was a beautiful day. Fun course with friendly staff!
Great course that stays in top shape!
We booked through golf now over the weekend. I didn’t notice anything saying the greens have been punched. It looked like it had happened, probably two or three weeks earlier. Still noticeable divots in the surface. Bummer since the courses really awesome and those greens are terrific. I do think they charge us a cheaper rate in the pro shop then had been advertised on the golfnow. So that was great.
Course has its own well water so even in the middle of summer, it will be noticeably better shape than most other courses and northern California. Greens are massive and challenge you to make long 2 putts. Course plays the pace he would expect. Definitely faster in the week and slow on the weekends. Expect a five hour round.
This last Saturday was a little frustrating. The front went relatively smooth with less waiting time than I expected. Especially having teed off at about 12:30 PM. We already knew we wouldn’t finish and decided to leave after hole15. It was very annoying to see that one group had been to complete holes behind. They were on the green while a group was in the fairway while a group was on the Teebox while we were just pulling up to the Teebox. There was a Marshall driving around. Wish they had made those people skip a hole at some point.
Still a great course every time we play.
Rancho
Course is great, but GN didn't tell me that the greens we're recently aerated
Always in nice condition
I play this course every year when I visit. I love the layout, the views, and the overall condition of the facility. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Even recently punched and sanded greens rolled true.
A nice municipal golf course
I love to play this course . The green fee is very attractive. We enjoyed the whole afternoon. The overall view is fantastic. I will definitely recommend this course to my friends.
Nice course
Friendly layout n well maintained course. Wanna play again
