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.

good course, easy to walk, cold beer at Legends, grass driving range, and friendly staff.

Good course in good condition. Each hole is unique and provides a different challenge. Real grass driving range and nice putting green. Relatively flat and easy to walk 18. Good food and beverages at Legends after the round.

Great day on the course

Got to the clubhouse about 25 mins before tee time. Hit a few balls on the driving range, lost track of time and left two irons on the range. Realized it on the first green. Drove back to the clubhouse as they were about to leave to try and find the owner...me.

Good playing time;enjoyable course

We were just a two-some so we played quite quickly. We had been told it could be windy and it was a bit on the back nine, but nothing too bad. We enjoyed our afternoon. the course was in very good shape. The greens were lovely and challenging. We will definitely be back.

Bumpy greens

This is a wonderful layout but the maintenance is not commensurate with the design. The fairways have bad patches and the greens were slow and bumpy. Sad.

Exceptional value and maintenance

I thought this course was in dynamite condition. Fairways and greens were perfect. Pace of play was very smooth. Very little waiting and no one rushing us. I had a cart because of the golf now deal but it is a very easy course to walk. I would highly recommend this course to any level of golfer.

Nice Greens, some interesting holes

The golf course has a decent layout, and some cool holes. There are no elevation changes, and the course winds among houses so it is not my favorite design. There are some interesting features.There are two holes that have huge oaks in the middle of the fairway that you have to negotiate around or over. The 10th hole not your classic three shot par 5. There are plenty of sand traps filled with course, heavy sand. The greens are in great shape, and roll very true, if a tad slow. This place can get very windy in the afternoon!

As mentioned before, the course is flat and easily walkable. the pace of play was pretty good, at just about 4.5 hours. the rates are reasonable, and the restaurant is very good.

Great value, great condition

Visiting the bay area. Played several courses so far. P.V. has been the best value (thru golf now) and conditioned. Greens were moderately quick but true. Fairways mostly well conditioned. Played on a Friday, mid-day. Pace was somewhat slow for our 2-some, but most 4somes cannot play as fast as us. Marshall very friendly. Stopped to talk about the other muni ... Rancho Solano (which we haven't played) giving a compare/contrast with PV. Very helpful and good humoured. Liked the course ... pretty flat and somewhat open. Not as tough a test as Rancho Solano (apparently). Played Metropolitan Golf Links in Oakland today (for the same price) and PV was way better.

The course was is beautiful shape!

They could have watered less during our round. It caused me to compromise my swing and I had bad results. It was the only hole for which I blew up on!

Muni maintained like a private club.

My wife and I have played courses from California to Maine, and the two Fairfield courses are by far the two best maintained public courses that we have played. We try to play each at least once each time we visit the area. Both courses offer enough tee options to provide golfers of all skill levels both a challenge and fun experience. The staff at Paradise was friendly and efficient. The condition of the course was excellent, and it was evident that the City has provided adequate maintenance staff. Both courses are visually appealing and the architect made maximum effort to utilize the natural beauty of the area. Highly recommend!!!!
