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.

Always enjoy playing this course. Play is generally kept moving, course is a bit challenging, the staff is always friendly and helpful.
Since I'm a member of the ladies' club at Empire Ranch, I try to play it often. It's always the first course I try to find a tee time when family/friends come to town to play. I was pleasantly surprised to find that wonderful $15 per player deal we got on the 30th.
A good course for the value
Empire has some issues with the course at this time, but still a great value for $25. 27 challenging holes. Greens are in good conditions. Certain fairways need a little bit of work but I'd recommend this golf course.
great day
I play empire when I can it's fun, good except where they killed the grass on B7
good course
Beautiful views. We played this course in Feb., would
like to go back in summer. Wide open, water and
large fairways.
Good value and 27 holes for variety
I have to drive an hour to reach the course, but the drive is worth it.
Last winter's lack of snow put them far behind this year, but the work shows their desire to give you a good value. No 5 hr round either.
I'll be back since I could get on when I wanted to play and I didn't waste all day once I was there. Great food as well.
reseeding in fall 2012
good course for the money. went there in october 2012. kind of rough. they had a difficult yr with too much drought. were replanting fairways when i was there. conditions not too great at the moment, but i would expect it to improve as i played there a few yrs back and it was fine. pretty flat course with elevated greens. plays easy when wind is down, pretty tough on windy days as there is trouble surrounding a lot of greens.
