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.

First time play and it is a great course.

RSGC is in good condition and well managed. it is at the top of best public courses I have played. Interesting terrains and large greens. It’s very playable, not extremely difficult, yet certainly not boring. Scenery is wonderful on a Spring day. Highly recommended.

Tee boxes are lumpy and pace of play is as fast as molassas

Title says it all. You should never have to read a tee box, but get ready to if you’re playing here. They’re lumpy and most of the time you’re hitting off of an uneven surface. Also the Marshals do absolutely nothing to improve the pace of play. Lots of high handicappers putting like they’re in the masters

Great conditions

First time playing this course and it quickly became one of my favorite courses in the area. The course is in excellent condition and the greens were rolling quick and true. The greens are huge with lots of undulation so approach shots are key. The fairways were a little wet/saturated because of the recent rains but I’m guessing soon they will be perfect after a couple dry days. All in all, fantastic course and will definitely play again soon

Love the course, loathe the pace

Rancho Solano is a well conditioned, well run golf course. I am a quick player - so you already know where I'm going with this. I can walk most 18 hole courses in under 3 hours (maybe not Lake Chabot, though I did walk it 3 times in one day when I was younger), so when rounds push over 5 hours it really frustrates me. It was a Saturday, and a club event, so I empathize with management on how to improve this aspect of public golf.

Perfect day for golf

Got paired up with a couple of nice golfer, Lyndsey and Jody. Course was at 90 degree rule except for hole #2 and 10 and of course all the par 3’s. Spring golf is back. Rancho is one of the best courses in the area and u love playing this beautifully maintained course. Definitely will be back for more summer golf!

Great golf day on a wet golf course

The necessary card path only requirements, slow down the pace of play, but we still had a good round in the greens or in excellent shape

things picked up on the back nine

Shout out to the head starter and Craige in the pro shop
