Paradise Valley Golf Course

3950 Paradise Valley Drive
Fairfield, CA 94533
(707) 426-1600

Built in 1993 and designed by Robert Muir Graves, this course features many doglegs that follow the meandering creek. Mature trees line most of the fairways and water comes into play on nine of the holes.

The 10th hole is Paradise Valley's signature hole. This par-5 hole requires a series of accurate shots. A well-placed tee shot just short of the lake sets up a second shot. Sand and grass bunkers surround the green; scoring par will be a challenge.

The 14th hole features another lone oak tree on the left of the fairway and a series of sand traps on the right that lead up to the green. When the breeze is just right, some adventurous golfers have been known to drive the green, avoiding all the hazards.

Two small lakes greet players when they tee off on the finishing 18th hole. With the Clubhouse as a backdrop, a perfect approach shot to the two-tiered green sets up an opportunity to score a birdie - and finish a great round of golf at Paradise Valley.

Paradise Valley golf course is a 'soft-spike' only facility. Thank you for observing our dress code requirements.

Rancho Solano Golf Course

3250 Rancho Solano Parkway
Fairfield, CA 94533
(707) 429-4653

Designed by Gary Roger Baird, Rancho Solano celebrated its Opening Day in March 1990. It is nestled in the hills of Fairfield and offers well-manicured fairways, large, tiered greens and challenging holes for every level of golfer.

Water is a factor on holes 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the front nine and holes 11, 12 and 14 on the back nine. Despite being an open course, club selection is important, especially on the challenging par 3's. Rancho Solano is known for having some of the largest greens on Northern California courses.

Two of the most challenging holes are on the back nine. Hole 11 is a par 4, but club selection is important because a long drive could end up in the lake. A carefully placed second shot onto the green, which hugs the water's edge, is not as easy as it looks. Sand traps exist on the backside of the green should a golfer decide to extend the margin of safety. The large green adds to the challenge of scoring a par.

Hole 12 is a picturesque par 3. Another small lake guards the front of the green and sand traps protect the back of the green. All tee boxes require the golfer to hit over the lake; there is no room to bail out on the right and very little room to consider a shot to the left. Getting on in one is satisfying; scoring par remains a challenge because of another trademark 'large, two-tiered' green.

Finishing your round with a birdie on the 18th hole is possible if you maneuver beyond the undulating fairway. This hole's green provides one last challenge on Rancho Solano's golf course.
