Paradise Valley Golf Course

Overview: Paradise Valley Golf Course is an 18-hole public course in Fairfield, designed by Robert Muir Graves and built around a meandering creek, mature trees and a network of water features. The current course references list par 72 and a back-tee distance of 7,065 yards, while the city describes the course through its doglegs, lakes and creek-side fairways. It is one of Fairfield’s two municipal golf courses and offers a traditional parkland contrast to nearby Rancho Solano.

History: The City of Fairfield identifies Paradise Valley as built in 1993 and designed by Robert Muir Graves. It was developed as the second of the city’s two municipal courses, following Rancho Solano by three years. The course’s history is therefore closely tied to Fairfield’s deliberate creation of a paired golf offering: two public courses near one another, with different terrain and visual identities.

Did You Know? Water comes into play on nine holes, and the city singles out the par-five 10th as the signature hole. The finishing 18th is framed by two small lakes and a two-tiered green, giving the round a memorable visual ending. Those features explain why the course is more about positioning and decision-making than simply finding the fairway and hitting the next club.
