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.

Course condition

Maintenance is great, greens in great condition, now if only we can have everyone to fix their divots because if they can get on the green they can fix their own divots.

I average fixing 2-3 others divots.

First Time

I had heard a lot about Rancho Solano. It met my expectations and I like to local flavor. I was a single and joined a threesome. I walked the course, and the walk was challenging, but I have no regrets.

This course is over-rated

What a crappy course. Staff sucks. Course conditions are pretty subpar. The design of the course is just okay. The grass they use is trash. Takes freaking forever to play a round. 5 hours plus on a weekday. Never going back.

Pure, Incredible Value

Conditions: 9/10 pure, well maintained

Layout: Fun, a bit challenging but can be enjoyed by any skill level. A lot of dog leg lefts

Greens: fast, much faster than they appear, in excellent shape. Massive greens will set you up for a difficult 2-putt

Value: Amazing, played for $36 with cart

Would i play again? Yes, I’ll be back

My first time ever playing a 5+hour round

You guys need a course marshall out there to enforce speeding things up. Especially with a twosome that’s slowing things up!!!!!!

Pure

First time playing this course this morning, and everything was pure. The tee boxes, fairways, rough, and greens, everything was pure! The greens were massive and challenging, definitely was worth the money! Will be back soon.

Great golf but needs more marshaling

Everything was great except that there was a 2-some in front of us who were just ridiculous about waiting for the 4-some in front of them. Like waiting until they got off the greens before hitting 2nd shot on Par-5 except from all appearances, the guys on the green were more than safe. Slowed the round by an hour at least which made us quite frustrated and angry.
