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.

Great course

Course is in excellent shape. I wish people would repair their divots though. I can't blame course management for that. I enjoy playing here. A lot.

Great shape right now

Usually this place can get a little rough. People don’t fix pitch marks, the fairways don’t drain well and the tee boxes aren’t playable. But right now things are pretty good. Too bad it’s the end of the season when they got their act together.

Only got 9-holes in. The heat was approaching 100 deg. My wife was with me. I paid for 18-holes and asked for a voucher. Wouldn’t do it. Got a credit for rider for $19 on a $90 green fee. Oh well.

Good Course

I am a mid-handicapper. I very much enjoyed playing this course. At 75 years old, the white tees were a bit long for me. Next time I'll move up. Nonetheless, not much to complain about. Loads of trees, bunkers, and some water so pay attention. Long, long greens so bring your good putter. 👍

Fun and challenging course

Fun course. Fairly long for any given set of tees.

Greens and fairways in good condition. Not terribly tight but very hilly. Not only elevation changes but slopes and mounds on fairways mean even hitting fairways won’t guarantee a flat lie.

I’m a 16 handicap, older so 6200 from whites was long on some holes. Still, enjoyed it as very few bare spots in fairways and greens were in good condition and fair (lots of slopes to navigate).

Not that expensive - best public in the immediate area.

Usual hood but not today.

I love this course. Thought I’d take my wife out on Saturday at 1:29pm. Played the first four holes in one hour. Perfect. Next two holes… One hour. Next two holes… One hour. Then we left. We were told when we teed off, “We have some ‘Outings’ playing so it may be a little slow. “. I’ve never understood why an outing should take longer to play than a regular match. It’s still a foursome playing the same conditions. No Marshall sighted anywhere on the course. It will be a while till we return. Sadly.

Awsome!!

This course is maintained flawlessly. I love the set-up and the large greens. That have a lot of slope. They roll pure and fast. My favorite course by far in the area.
