Being closer to Sacramento gives me a chance to play more golf with my grandaughter. Today we played here at 3 PM and paid $18 for me and $5 for her to walk 18.

Having never played here before I found out why so many people in the area really like this course. Great place to take your children/grandchildren who want to learn and improve their golf game. And a great walking course.

The course is 5000 yards from the tips and 4500 from the white/red tees. 6 Par 3's of various lengths, 1 Par 5 and 11 Par 4's of various lengths.

Don't let the length fool you. Numerous water hazards, 1 island green, 1/2" rough and out of bounds on the left side of almost every hole. Oh and did I mention the trees.

At present time the course is in great shape.

Tee boxes were all level and playable.

Fairways are clean and provide good lies and excellent rollout. And many are tree lined adding to the need to stay in the fairway.

Greens were in nice shape. Again I found many to be higher than the fairway unlike S CA were things are much flatter. But they held shots, chipped and putted just fine all round. And not very large

Rough was about 1/2" and fairly playable in advancing your ball but still tough enough to impact your distance.

Traps had adequate sand and were very playable.

Excellent customer service in the shop. Nice driving range and nice snack bar.

POP was a little slow (4.5) but that's to be expected on a course that has excellent rates on weekend and most likely a variety of players with different golf skills.

But it is a course I would recommend to anyone who is in the area for an enjoyable round of golf. Right off Hwy 113 and exit 29.

Played a twilight round yesterday and got in all 18 in 3.5 H. Big difference here vs LA courses as twilight times are very open and not crowded.

Course in very nice shape after all the maintenance they have been doing.

Tee boxes all level, clean and playable.

Fairways are all mowed, clean and provide excellent lies and roll out at present. Though they are narrow and you must stay out of the rough if possible as it is 1/2 inch and difficult to play out of.

Traps were all clean but IMO they could use a little more sand. Some, not all are very firm and mishits will cause flyers.

Greens unfortunately had just been aerated and sanded. So chipping and putting was difficult on all holes. But they look good and no doubt will come back looking just fine.

Still getting use to having the greens higher than the fairway unlike in most S CA courses. Makes learning ones wedge play all over again. + most of them are guarded by deep bunkers adding to the challenge.

Great customer service in the pro shop and from the starter. Very appreciated.

Had time for a few drafts after the round and had to pay $8 no tax for two. Such a rip off LOL.

Played today on a beautiful day here in N CA.

Course has really become very playble and much more enjoyable the more I play it since early Feb when I first played.

Played all 18 on a twilight round in 3.5 hours. $22 to walk.

Tee boxes level and playable. Fairways are nice and wide and provide good lies and very nice roll out.

Rough is 1/2 inch and not a friendly place to be. + numerous OB areas along many fairways, a creek running through the property requiring carries over several greens. And don't forget the water holes.

Traps are big and there are many but they all were very playable.

Greens are in good shape after being punched last week. They look surprisingly good for such a short time. They chipped and putted just fine all round.

Great service in the shop. Huge driving range and very busy. Good practice areas.

Highly recommended.

Took advantage of DST and played Super Twilight starting at 4PM. Finished all 18 in 3 hrs. Price was $39 w cart on a weekend.

Course is in fantastic shape at the moment. The layout of this course is just terrific. There really is not a bad hole in any of the 18.

Tee boxes are level and clean no issues.

Fairways are dried out and providing great lies and amazing roll out (take that S CA).

Rough is not a nice place to play from. They keep it clean and mowed down but stay in the fairway.

Traps were all clean an playable. I would like to see more sand though.

Greens are very large and demand a lot of focus in putting. You can be on in regulation and still have 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and even 100 ft depending up where the pin is and were you land. It is going to take me some time to learn the green layouts and were to place my shots.

I can truly say this is a public course but it is maintained and its layout can compete with many private courses in CA.

Its a joy to play and look forward to many more rounds. Highly recommended if in the area.

Great food in the restaurant and today they had $4 margaritas from the cart lady. Maybe thats why the group in front of us had the beverage cart with them so often.

I finally got my chance to come back here and play today. It only took about 30 years LOL.

This course is a beast if you have not played it many many times IMO.

It reminds me of Black Gold only on steroids.

This is also one of Arnold Palmer's signature designs and it won't disappoint you. Plenty of uphill, downhill holes with many canyons, marsh areas in between tee boxes and fairways to carry to the green.

Par 72 with a back consisting of 3 Par 3's and 3 Par 5's. Don't let the 6619 yards from the back tees fool you. I believe this course will give anyone a run for their money.

I found the tee boxes to be just fine. They are planning to redo all of them in a few months.

Fairways are generous but all of them are guarded by brutal rough and many many OB areas. Hit it in the rough and you won't find it. I know that for a fact. But they provide unbelievable run out and great lies.

The traps I escaped but they did not look good to me. That was the one area I found not to be in good shape.

Greens are good size but are firm and today were playing at 11. Add in a little wind and you could land in front of the green but it would roll all the way off the back if you landed to far on you shot. Local knowledge would be helpful on playing to these greens.

The course was in good shape given the weather we have had up here over the last 3 weeks. And the price of $52 with cart was reasonable for the course conditions. And its an easy course to find off I 80 E/W with the exit at Hiddenbrooke Parkway in Vallejo.

The signature hole is # 13 a Par 3 over a deep canyon with no bailout. Very similar to Black Gold's number 7.

I will go back when the weather turns nicer and give it go again. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a stern test of their game on a very enjoyable layout.

I played here today. First time ever playing this course as it was built in 1999 and I left Sacramento many years before that. I found the course to be intersting to say the least.

Course in Davis off Hwy 113 and road 29 and Pole road.

In speaking with the cart manager he tells me the course is owned by a local family group and they are the 5th owners.

The course is an intersting design combining moguls, water, large carry areas and very rarely do you have a level lie. Holes # 15 and 18 provide a huge challenge with very large carries required for the 2nd (more likely a 3rd) after your drive, unless you are a long hitter.

The course is just coming around after much rain in the area and one can see that maintenance was delayed but is frantically catching up. Also the course is greening up but needs time to fully fill in and all the beautiful trees to come into bloom. Right now it looks a little stark.

I had no tee box issues. Fairways while still filling in did provide a good measure of decent lies and some even excellent rollout. Many of them are below the cart paths and are narrow putting a premium on hitting the fairway. And you can easlily go out of bounds with errant tee shots. And also more often than not you will not have a level lie.

Rough was not much of an issue as you could play out of it but advancement was limited. I was not in any bunkers but they all appeared groomed and cleaned for play for the day.

Greens were in very nice shape. They are large but w/o a lot of undulations but being large they do put the fear of a 3 putt in ones mind. And all of them are above the fairway to some degree. Something I have experienced here in N CA vs the flat courses in S CA (not all but most).

The par 3's are an excellent form of design and fun to play.

Great customer service in the shop and cart personnel. Did not get to use the resaurant but it was very nice in appearance.

Driving range and putting green. Golf carts are functional but are not in the best of appearance.

All in all I had an enjoyable time and will find time to go back when the weather is nicer and the course has rounded into better condition. I would not hestitate to recommend this course if you are in the area.

I was struck by the fact how quite the course was early in the AM compared to S CA

Played today. Course is lush and drying out after lots of rain. They had all the fairways mowed and lies and rollout were very good. Tee boxes good. Rough is half inch and not very playable. Traps playable. The greens here all elevated and that makes every hole very challenging. Nothing like S CA were its flat. + many are guarded by traps or water. And they are not flat but lots of undullations making putting challenging. Open to the public so if you are in the area try it out
Super maintenance by the staff. Food is great and so inexpensive

Played this AM prior to aeration. Course has dried very well since all the rain. Unfortunately more is on the way. Tee boxes fine. Fairways a little firmer and decent roll out. Greens were playing much faster today. With the sun out one can really appreciate the setting of this course in and around the hills of Fairfield. Restaurant serves some great food at really reasonable prices. Truly a great place to play golf.

Have not played here since the mid 90's soon after it opened. I have always enjoyed playing Robert Muir Graves designs and this was IMO one of his better public courses.

Found the course to be in great shape and better than I remember it but that goes w/o saying as it is now over 40 years old. And many will say things get better with age. This one did.

The recent rains have the course nice and lush and the bent grass greens and winter rye fairways are really in great shape.

I took a cart today but I can see that the course is very walkable. I will give that a try here soon.

Found the tee boxes to be very good. Fairways had some firmness and some roll even after the rain and provided good lies as well.

Lots of sand traps. My playing partners said there about 50 on the course. The few I found were playable.

A few water hazards are on the course and again I had local players in our group who were kind enough to point them out before teeing off. So no lost balls.

Greens are large but played excellent and found no issues with chipping, putting. And they were well maintained.

Great customer service from pro shop and nice driving range and short game practice area. Also custom fitting and repair services onsite. Its obvious management takes great pride in keeping the place up.

Did not eat in the restaurant as the course was crowded but looked great as well as the bar area.

Very nice course in addition to Rancho Solano and Cypress Lakes my golfing itch will be well taken care of.

Went out this AM to play temp said 32F yikes. Went to the course and of course they had a frost delay. Had cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich (wow a whole 5 bucks no tax) and came home. Went back out after Noon and it was a balmy 48 F but acceptable.

Walked 9 holes as only the back 9 was open due to some areas on the front still needing water draining and repair from the storm.

Back 9 was clean and playable with no issues. I like this little track a lot. Keep it in the fairway and all is good.

Boxes, fairways and greens all playable with no issues. I will go back and play 18 on Sunday morning as the weather is expected to be much nicer by then.

Well it finally stopped raining the sun came out and I got to play golf. My first time back here in over 20 years (OMG).

The setting of the course in the hills of Fairfield is wonderful. Great views from just about everywhere on the course.

The course is still wonderful and truly even better than I remember. Signed up for the Loyal-Tee rewards program ($65 Annual for Sr) and got a great $37 walking rate. I walked as it was CPO and felt walking in a straight line most of the 18 instead of sideways was better.
The course is a little hilly but not that bad with the right push cart.

Lucky I was with a local as this course has many water hazards and he was helpful pointing them out for me before we teed off on those holes.

Wide fairways and still a little damp but that helped on some holes of not running off into the trees, of which there are many.

Tee boxes were just fine. Bunkers I missed but they looked good but still damp.

Greens were in great shape even after the rain. And large with plenty of undulations to conquer. But because they were still soft from the rain they were playable. I do not think they would be less forgiving when they are dry and firm.

Very nice clubhouse and had lunch in the small but quaint restaurant and food and prices were excellent.

I am looking forward to many many more rounds here on this very fine golf course.

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.
