About

Holes 18
Type Municipal
Par 72
Length 6632 yards
Slope 133
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.

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!!

The course was in great shape, the weather was also great. Played with three great guys. Nice course with a lot of elevation changes and large greens. You could three putt on any of this greens, that how big they are.

How a wonder day.

3 hours for nine holes

Great day, great price, course has been well maintained. Only concern was pace of play. I left my group after 12 and went ahead five groups to find a wide open course. Played 16-18 without anyone in front or behind. Really not sure what the cause was other than players thinking they were better than they were and not keeping up with the group in front. Its most prevalent on 500 yard par 5's where people think if they drive it 225 yards they have to wait for the green to clear before they can hit.

Great experience

This course is in GREAT shape. It was a beautiful day and the round was a little over 5 hours. But we didn't mind. The views made up for the lengthy round.

Like hitting the Lotto !

Sunday morning about 10:30 you expect it to be crowded and very slow pace,My god we had the whole course to ourselves.I saw one single a couple times two or three holes ahead of us but that was it.That is hard to beat especially when taking a new friend from another state a 1 1/2 hour drive from home to check this out,he was stunned by the course and pace of play he couldn't stop talking about it.And he Loved talking with Craig in the pro shop,very genuine guy .Food was great and Kudo's to all the staff for working on Easter....amazing people work at this establishment!

I like the course. However (and this applies to Paradise Valley as well), SERIOUS maintenance needs to be done with the brakes on the carts. Their lack of braking power is nothing short of dangerous.

Green Goddess!

Rancho Solano golf course is always in great shape . Playing this course in the spring is great as the surrounding hills are velvet green and really add to the beauty of the course. Always a “10” you should go.
