Comstock/River at Empire Ranch Golf Course

It was early season courses a bit dry knew that was gonna be a thing. Pace of play was horrible 10 minutes before our tea time it was completely empty and then they put three foursomes ahead of us. We usually play basketball in our group so we move fast keep pace of play and only look for lost balls on occasion, but the group in front of us was horrible and when we realize there was no one in front of them, we started pushing a little bit and they actually started smoking our balls. Of course it was a problem and then within 45 minutes of sunset on the 15th hole, they kicked us off the course not just us but everyone we could’ve easily finished but for 25 bucks he can’t complain I guess

Course is in terrible condition, but it’s a great value. So definitely play if you need practice or just starting golf. Really short and friendly for beginners

For $30 it was a good value with beautiful views but the course and equipment could use some investment. Lots of effort around the course repairing turf which seemed to be working though there were many hard pack/ muddy/ rough spots primarily in fairways. Greens were in reasonable shape. Carts could use a deep clean but functioned fine. For a low cost round, it was fine. Clubhouse and bar/restaurant were good.

It was a little wet from recent weather. Flags missing on holes. 18 was changed to a temporary par 3 which we were not informed of. Didn't find out until we got to the hole.

Course is putting a lot of effort to improving conditions since the flood damage of a few years ago. There has been marked improvement over the last 12 months and am looking forward to seeing it this spring in warmer conditions. $25 for the round including cart ( twilight at 12pm in winter ) is a really good value. Staff was all super friendly.

ER has never really recovered form the flooding that happened years ago. Greens were slow but in good conditions, fairways for the most part were not in very good condition, bunkers were so so. Have always enjoyed playing here but probably won't be back, maybe next summer things will be better.

Played this course for years now. They are working hard on repairing and improving the fairways. I like the layout and challenging design. Location is nice for mountain views.

Empire ranch has made some improvements over the last 4 years. This course is great for beginners and all golfers who seek to play golf. The rounds during the week take between 3 and 3.5 hours and on the weekends 4 to 4.5 hours. There are a few tricky holes with water on the sides. The food at the bar is delicious.

Not sure exactly why, maybe they have the tee times too close together, we spent 5 hours playing 18 holes. We had to wait past our tee time on the first hole, about twenty minutes late. Starter wasn't too concerned about our 11am tee time. No on course amenities other than two bathrooms. Many of the ball wash stations didn't have water. For the most part, the course is in decent shape, greens are in good shape. Play a round here if you have plenty of time to spend on the course.

Tha course needs some additional care and maintenance. The course is OK but it's not in the $40 - 50

Excellent, I mean really excellent practice facility. Putting green, separate chipping green with sand trap, and driving range. While I didn’t use the driving range, it seemed up to par at least. The greens were immaculate. The fairways were a solid 6/10 and tee boxes were a solid 7/10. Can’t beat it for the value. Also, a beverage cart on the course to top it off.

So first and foremost I will say don’t give this course your money. The course itself is in horrendous condition. The fairway is tore up with no margins between rough, ground under repair, and any discernible fairway. The majority of the course is overrun with weeds. If you attempt to tee off before 10am you are met with soppy conditions with greens being completely drenched. Sprinklers will be running as you attempt to navigate the course. The amenities, let’s just say are non existent. There is no cart girl. The driving range grass is nothing but tore up and you’ll be hitting out of divots and off dirt. The practice balls look like they haven’t been replaced since the early 2000s. The carts are barely operational. Torn seats with patches, brakes that hardly work. No charging ports and most don’t even have windshields. The cart I had today the roof was coming off and the bag strap on the back was busted forcing me to continually tighten it every few holes to keep my bag on. The Marshal/Starter on the course is the rudest, probably most arrogant person I’ve ever met. On a packed Sunday we were harassed about pace of place when we were on a standard 4:30 hour round. This place wants to take your money and offer you the trashiest round in the Reno/sparks/carson area. Don’t waste your money, go play any other course. You can go across the street and play a course in much better condition for less.
