Well goodbye Alhambra hello Rancho Solano. Played my last round today and was very pleased with conditions. Greens had small punch last week look all healed and chipped/putted with good speed all round. Fairways have been mowed and are giving good roll out at the moment as well as good lies (some better than others). No issues with tee boxes. New sand in traps is excellent and very playable. Very little rough to contend with. Been a great 10 years playing this wonderful course and have enjoyed the staff (new and old) that have made my many rounds so enjoyable. As of Sunday Feb 14 I will be a GK member of N CA golf. Spent many years in Sac so know the area well and look forward to playing many of the courses I played so many years ago.

Played Tuesday, February 10, before 7:00 am. We were a five some, all walking, in the third group out. We played in 1.5 hours for the 9 holes with little or no waiting on the group on front of us. Little amenities at the course at present with no restaurant in operation. Three net bays for warm up, a nice sized practice green and small chipping area.

Little amenities at the course at present with no restaurant in operation. Three net bays for warm up, a nice sized practice green and small chipping area.

The course is in good shape. Lush fairways and greens for the most part. There was little sand in the one bunker I was in but others found adequate sand in other bunkers. The tees were not always level but were okay. The greens were nice, running at a decently fast speed. High side of medium speed.

Nice way to start the day.

Course in very nice condition. Played with a nice family from N.M., one of which was 6 years old. His dad had him tee up about 100 yards from the green. Surprisingly good, consistent contact.

Tees lush and very well maintained. Fairways now firm and play fast and look immaculate. Rough hit and miss, could be thick or thin. You actually want it to be thick to stop ball... » More

Course in very nice condition. Played with a nice family from N.M., one of which was 6 years old. His dad had him tee up about 100 yards from the green. Surprisingly good, consistent contact.

Tees lush and very well maintained. Fairways now firm and play fast and look immaculate. Rough hit and miss, could be thick or thin. You actually want it to be thick to stop balls that otherwise will end up in the cactus w/o it. Sand is excellently maintained. Greens firm and putt medium fast with few ball marks. Carts have nice GPS. Customer service excellent from almost everyone on the staff. Excellent range and good restaurant on site. Highly recommended.

Played in the Golf Moose outing on a sunny warm day with great partners. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The facility is aged but well maintained as work was being performed during our round. The practice area does not have a driving range but the putting greens, chipping area and driving nets did the job. The comfortable carts were very nice and quick but lacked any GPS. The rough was the perfect length to slow wayward shots and allowed for a decent shot. The fairways had good coverage with divot mix placed throughout the entire course. The fairways were tight in sections with great roll on well struck tee shots. The well groomed and trimmed traps were mostly damp with very thin to thin sand coverage. Hitting from them could be difficult if you found your ball in one. The aprons around most greens was thinner Kikuyu which was difficult to chip from with most electing to use the short sticks. The greens were great with total coverage. They held shots good but did have roll out without a lot of spin. They were very quick with unseen breaks. Many were very small and well protected with the pin placements. The layout had a few water features and fairway bunkers strategically placed which came into play. There were many trees lining the holes from start to finish which made finding a ball near one with the leaves difficult or impossible. There were some elevation changes in the layout but the course is definitely flat enough to walk. The fairways were generally wide forgiving. The front nine has three par three holes playing to a par 35. The back nine at a par 37 was 400-500 yards longer and more challenging. Definitely a course our group would play again given the chance.

Played 2/8/26 12:45 POP 4:15 First time playing the course and enjoyed it. Pretty basic in design. Generous fairways with little to no trouble off of tees. Fairways very green with great coverage, but on the tight side. Great roll out on drives! Greens were in great shape. Mostly firm, but ran slow to my taste at a medium/slow.

Fairways very green with great coverage, but on the tight side. Great roll out on drives! Greens were in great shape. Mostly firm, but ran slow to my taste at a medium/slow. Lots of subtle breaks that were hard to pick up especially when the ball slowed. Was not in any traps but they all looked to be in great shape. Course was in overall great shape. I don't recall any "Signature" hole. Some water in play with one par 3 over water. A decent course that won't beat you up that was in great shape. Some very nice scenery when playing back towards the mountains
Easy recommend as a "also" course or warm up course if in the area for more than one day.
