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.

The large greens were a challenge but fair.

I thoroughly enjoyed my golf experience at Rancho Solano. The course was in Country Club condition and that is saying a lot because it is a public course.

Windy day at Rancho

I had a wonderful day of golf even though it got windy. I have played in windier courses so the wind did not bother me. I plan on going back soon!

Staff doesn’t care

Staff has no concern about your round once they have your money. Had a group in front of us with a 5 year old riding in a cart. Well riding is not really accurate she was runing all around the course, including on the greens and in bunkers. I’m all for kids learning the game but hearing a girl yell Daddy, Daddy, over and over again in your backswing just sucks. Course staff didn’t care when we said something. I guess this is why I play there once, maybe twice a year. Oh the 5 hour round didn’t help either.

Very good shape

Course was nice, great accommodating staff and the other patrons I played with were very good as well. Also drained a very long bender putt with elevation changes for a birdie so that was pretty nice too!!
