Comstock/River at Empire Ranch Golf Course

The course is very green and any ball off the fairway will be hard to find. Lots a
of water as well so more opportunity to lose balls. Good challenge for a high handicapper. Worth the money . Staff friendly and helpful.

First time playing the course was a little confusing. I played alone and had some trouble knowing which way to hit the first shot as there are three intertwined nine hole courses. Twice I had go grab my ball and re-tee because I hit to the wrong hole.
Overall the course played great...great value for the money.

Course in fair condition, lots of hazards..some were hidden well. Greens were slow but firm. Sand traps were sub standard as no actual sand existed in them,this is the one thing that needs fixing for an enjoyable round. Good value .

Course in good shape. Wind strong off and on but welcome due to heat. Haven't played here in a few years, but changes. made are good. Played in 3 1/2 hours. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and scenery. Great value for the money.

After hearing about the turmoil this course has been involved, I was pleasantly surprised. I was greatest by the Golf Pro and given a few tips about the course.
Although not prestine, the course is well maintained. Ruff is truly ruff,
Fairway grass is a little longer than what one my be accustom and grass on the green is also a bit, although now exessively, high making the greens slower and more challenging.

Good to find value anywhere near Tahoe. Just 45 minutes to Stateline Nevada and affordable but still challenging.

I've played this course many times, they have three nines. The red course was pretty much closed last year because of winter kill, I played it yesterday and it was in pretty good shape. It was very windy and that makes for some hard holes. This is one of my favorite walks, unfortunately my partner will not walk and we got a good deal on golfnow. Anyhow Sean and the boys in the clubhouse are always in good spirits and make for a good time, it was fun.

Great experience except for pace of play. The course should not allow one twosome to bottleneck the entire course. Never saw a Marshall.

Empire Ranch is a great place to play for the money. The fairways are wide and the greens are big. The greens are a bit slow but where is poana very fast in the spring. Most of these greens are a mixture of poana and either a hybrid or something else in Northern Nevada. Others of course are pure bent and I love fast ben greens.
Anyhow we are using Empire to stay sharp for other higher dollar events and it is perfect for that. Beat it around out there and help keep them open as all these courses suffer the recession.

The staff here is always friendly and they keep the course in nice shape. I use GolfNow to book for the afternoon and save.

The course was in very good condition including the practive area. The pro shop attendant was friendly and was very helpful regarding my questions. A course you must play but be careful of where the next hole might be for the course you are on.

My wife and I play there almost every weekend. This course is very friendly to women and to those like myself who barely break 100, as there are 5 tee locations for those who want to either "tee it forward", or those who prefer a challenge and play from the tips. There are three 9 hole courses, the "red, white & blue", the blue is a "feel good" course which plays slightly easier. Staff are always very helpful and friendly!

lucky January weather good shape, cant wait till spring

The course was in good shape being it is the middle of November. Greens were fern and fast. Great price $36 including cart for 2.

Was very pleased at the friendliness and help
by the staff. Course was not overly challening
but played moderate.
Greens when in fabulous condition and played very true.
Hope to get another chance to play in the future.

Empire was in as good a shape as I've ever seen Tuesday. I think they may have a new guy maintaining it. In fact I think he was on a mower on 17 as we finished and gave my partner a playing tip. LOL Anyhow, the tees were better maintained and marked.
We played the blues for the first time and I got a view of #8 on the Blue Course that I didn't know was there with T on far east side of that T box.
Couple of Tuesdays ago the sprinkers had run too long and there was mud in a lot of places but I hope whoever is maintaining this course now stays. Looks like he is going to start edging the cart paths also.

Nice course, but slow due to 4some not letting 2some play thru. Otherwise good time.

It was NOT noted on Golf Now that the greens were scored and sanded. If I had known we would not have booked at this course. I would recommend this course as it was a good value other than the greens.

Reasonably priced & in decent shape. Had a great time but needed a more challenging course.

This course is the best value in all of Carson. It is challenging for experienced golfers yet playable for the less experienced. The staff are always friendly and helpful.
