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.

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.

Excellent conditions

This course has always been in great condition and this particular day was no exception except that it was simply excellent. Smooth, plush fairways & consistent lighting greens. Fairly fluffy (for the most part anyway) bunkers. Rough cut very consistent too. Staff very professional & friendly. Water on course (& cold) including a beverage cart in the late afternoon. I will definitely return.

Best bet for the area

This course is awesome, love the layout and especially the greens! They are large and in charge. Ball rolls true and is fast so watch for those subtle breaks they will get you.

Tough day on the greens

Very good course. The greens however are unfair due to their extreme slopes. You need to be familiar with the slope of each green and have the ability to put the right spot. Otherwise be prepared for 3 putts or more.

excellent course but SLOW

Beautiful course-layout and conditions. Best value on a public course around the East Bay area. BUT the pace a lay was awful. No marshalls to move it along. 2 hours 10 on front nine but 3 hours 10 on back nine. They have to move people along

Pace…..

Ridiculously slow….. I went out at twilight(330) and experienced the slowest “round “in my 20 years of playing here… Never encountered 5 groups trying to playing the same hole- number 12.. One group was almost a hole behind to top it off. So bad I turned around and left. Unfortunately been the theme at this course as of late; hopefully they can improve soon..
