Type Municipal
Par 72
Length 7065 yards
Slope 135
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.

Our favorite California course

This is our favorite local golf course. It was in excellent condition as usual. There were no tournaments so the pace of play was excellent.

The course is in excellent shape Tee to Green. Bunkers have consistant sand. Great value, well designed challenging track from all Tee boxes.

I love Paradise Valley. Darryl, Chris and Jonothan are always very helpful and sincere in making your visit to the course to be the best. I'm not familiar with the other names, but they are good too. Greens keeper gets 5 stars from me as this course gets played alot and stays in excellent shape Tee to Green. Greens are true and fair. The layout and Tee options will satisfy the scratch golfer and yet won't punish the weekend warriors too badly. I also need to mention that perhaps the best improvement is that they are gapping the Tee off a no. 1 by waiting for the group in front to reach the 1st par 5 green. I hope that continues as the backup on No. 3 Tee can be a drag.

Exccellent condition and challending.

We played on a very windy day that made the course even more demanding. There are plenty of challenges on the course (lakes, creeks, bunkers, etc.) to keep you thinking your way around the course. The fairways and greens were in very good shape. The greens are somewhat fast and roll very true. It is hard to believe this is a muni course.

Paradise Valley GC is well worth a try.

Wide fairways but challenging greens

Minus the crabby old couple we had to deal with, I had a great time at this course. Nice open fairways, but not so easy that you can just hack away. The cart girl was a smokeshow, and the setting was great. Wished I lived a little closer so I could play it more often.

The course is in great shape

Forgiving from the tee, more difficult on the approach. The fairways are perfect and the rough is nice and thick with no weeds. I would highly recommend playing here.

Done Right

Paradise Valley is a great example of a city owned course that is done right. The course was in very good shape, although I thought the greens were a little slow.
Good layout, as challenging as you would want. Overall, one of our favorite "away game" locations at a good value.

Enjoyed every minute at the course

I had a great time at this course, I haven't played in over a decade. I have to say it was one of the best experiences I have had in ten courses. The course was in great shape! They already have gone through aeration of all their greens and they're awesome. However there were some soggy patches on the course and a few bunkers in need of some sand. With that said, I would go back in a second. I suggest that if you find yourself near this course, you should absolutely take the time to play it

The greens were plugged, pace was slow.

We were not aware the greens were plugged until we were on the course. Played Sunday as a foursome, pace was 5+ hours, group ahead was very slow, 2 holes open in front.
A marshall was sent and spoke to the group, they moved a
bit faster, but still very slow.
The course needs some work.

Good course with challenging greens, yet still playable by all skill levels.

Paradise golf course is a fun and challenging course to play on. Large enough to be forgiving to low to average skill level players but still diverse enough for experienced players. With bathrooms and water bottles spread about the course and built in GPS with the golf card make the day enjoyable.

Good golfing experience, nice facility, nice layout and surrounding upscale area.

If a wood chuck could chuck, how much wood would a wood chuck chuck? It boggles the mind. There were no wood chucks on this course, so I couldn't add to my would chuck file.

the course for the price was not up to par this trip

some of the bunkers were under repair and should have been expalined either at the desk or by the starter. The new signage along some of the fencing should have been identified on the scorecard but I did not see it.

Great course for a muni

The city of Fairfield has 2 courses that I think are one of the better value courses in the area. The staff at Paradise Valley are very accomodating and try to get everyone out even on very busy days. It's one of the few courses that have a GPS on the carts. It's very walkable and the club house have good eats.

Great course

A lot of intersting holes and fast greens in the noon time. we played at that time because of the cold weather. Nice driving range and a wonderful bar and food area. GPS on carts are always a plus even though we had our own. Loved the lay out and if someone wanted a nice course to walk.
