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.

Can be very busy

Got mixed in with a four man tournament unknowing there was a tournament going and my group was just a two som and we got in the middle of a big party, so people two groups behind were complaining that it was slow and they got into shouting contests and yelling at each other kind of threats like meet us at the parking lott so they can fight or watever bunch of adults acting like entitled kids even though we were playing as fast as possible.

I prefer a more calming atmosphere when golfing and this place is overpriced

First Time Playing

Nice course and very accommodating

Had a great off-season round of golf at Rancho Solano. Finished the front 9 in 2 hrs. Noticed there was no one playing the front 9 at the turn and asked to replay the front 9 instead of continuing onto the back. They agreed and really enjoyed playing a quiet round trying to best my score. Good fish and chips as well and food cart drove by 3 times on a Thursday. Would come again.

A nice golf course

This course is well maintained. This is a very nice course indeed. This course is somewhat challenging, most of the greens are guarded by sand bunkers. The scenery is beautiful. Love to play this course.

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.
