EMPLOYEE GOLFING POLICY
As of July 1, 2026
As a City of Fairfield owned facility, we have a fiscal responsibility to maximize revenues and maintain the golf course in excellent conditions for our guests at all times. Our priority is to our Guests and employee play as a benefit should never supersede that priority.
Rancho Solano and Paradise Valley Golf Courses extend to its employees the privilege of playing golf at the golf courses under certain conditions. All staff play must not displace or interfere with any paying golf guests at any time.

The General Manager and Head Golf Professionals have final approval of all staff golf play privileges. The following rules are mandatory and are the minimum established requirements:
1. No employee tee-time reservations may be made in advance. The ability to play golf is based on available tee-times on the day of play.
