Rating 73.7

Paradise Valley Golf Course was voted the top course in Solano County and it is considered one of the best values in the North Bay area. Mature oaks line the fairways and meandering creeks wander across the course, coming into play on nine holes. It is a good course for walkers but it is still quite a challenge from the back tees. Club selection and ball placement are equally important. Paradise Valley Golf Course's signature hole is the par-5 10th. It requires a trio of accurate shots beginning with a well placed tee shot just short of the lake that sets you up for the second shot. You will have to make it past a ravine and a massive oak tree in order to make it to the green, which is protected by both sand and grass bunkers.

As always the course was in great shape from

Fairway to greens. Sam in the golf shop is always pleasant and friendly which is important when with an early tee time. An excellent experience as always and I would recommend this course to anyone.

Early tee time ... fairways damp

I haven’t played here in a long time. They still have the GPS which is helpful for yardages.

Had a 7:44am tee time and played with 2 local retired guys (Terry & Al). Fun times with those guys.

Course was really damp in the fairway in the morning. I believe they have had that drainage issue for a long time. Wish they would resolve that.

We played a good round and Marshalls tired to help us out by talking to groups ahead to sped up the play.

Oh ... the greens are in pretty good shape. They are soft and balls sticks and spins.

Will definitely return and play.

Great front, left at 10

Booked first tee time as a twosome. Finished front 9 in 1.5 hours and ran into a massive, massive back-up on the back nine. Starter told us that’s what we got for playing so fast. It was going to be 30 min just to tee off of 10 so we left.

The Best of Solano County

For the money this is one of the best golf courses in Solano County. Great fairways, tee boxes and greens. The pace wasn’t bad. I thought the foursome should’ve let us through (We had 3 players) with there being no one in front of them. We still finished the round in 4.5 hours but could’ve saved an hour if there was an Ambassador or Marshal but that’s being picky. The course is in fantastic shape. The restaurant is fantastic as well. Can’t go wrong with Legends and Hero’s, they’ve been in the game for a long time and you can tell they get it. It’s sister course across the freeway is just as good. Keep up the good work Paradise Valley.

Solid course

My group and I play here a few times a month, and we drive from San Rafael because it’s worth it.

The greens almost always roll decently quick, and they roll true. The fairways are tightly mowed and plenty of water, there’s even a couple of “wet” areas but I won’t fault them for that. I’d rather have a couple spots where it’s soft than the parched, hardpan you get a lot of places in the summer.

The staff are friendly, and bonus points for the excellent breakfast burrito.

This course is interesting and can be played again and again without getting stale. It’s a test from the tips, with a mix of long holes and holes that tempt us into risk/reward shots. There’s a drivable par 4 on the back 9 which can be a blast if you crack your drive.

The only knock I’ll give this course is that they have a skins group that goes out on Sunday mornings, when we usually play. This wouldn’t normally be an issue, generally guys playing in a regular group are decent and keep up the pace of play. However the last couple times the group showed up with a TON of guys, more than the time sheet would accommodate. I overheard the pro shop staff saying there were 27 of them going out, and that they were cutting them off at that number. That means there were 3 fivesomes and 3 foursomes trying to squeeze out in a short time frame. I’ll give credit to the pro shop as I also heard them saying they turned the last few of the guys away.

I understand the course needs to fill times, and stay busy to be profitable. But fivesomes at any time, let alone a busy Sunday morning, shouldn’t happen. Three fivesomes is ridiculous.

Now to be fair, it wasn’t the longest round I’ve played, but it certainly wasn’t quick.

The last part of this review shouldn’t sway you from playing here. It’s a really solid, well kept, fun course at a good price. Just avoid the 730-830am window on Sunday mornings

Mostly flat but a challenging layout

the area is mostly flat but the course is designed in such a way to make moderately challenging. Water or ditches come into play on several holes. Enjoyable place to play and except for a few holes it is mostly quiet on the course.
