Comstock/River at Empire Ranch Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Empire Ranch Golf Course, situated in the picturesque Carson Valley, features 27 holes of golf that overlook the Carson River. Located just minutes from downtown Carson City, Empire Ranch's three individual nines offer three different 18-hole combinations that have a convenient location but still provide a challenging golf getaway. The Comstock/River layout features lakes and wetlands coming into play throughout. The fairways are also well guarded by strategically placed bunkers. It provides a fair test, but the golf course is forgiving enough for beginning and intermediate players. In addition to the three courses, Empire Ranch also offers extensive practice facilities and a staff of PGA Professionals who can provide golf instruction.

Windy day to golf
its a nice course but just needed attention. The Course has its challenges, my husband and I played fairly well. The place is obviously popular with the locals and very family oriented, dogs are welcome. It was a windy and cold day but we enjoyed the game. Once the place receives the needed care and maintenance the course will be good as new. Thank you.

Course was flooded out a few years ago and hasn’t recovered yet. But considering it is still winter golf, it was in fair shaped.
