Empire Ranch Golf Club

Greens where recently sanded which I understand, other than that great day. Love playing there.

Looks like a farm implement was used. Very large holes w sand about a 1/4 inch down. They must have an eighties piece of equipment. I’d give it 3 weeks. Unbevable amount of mud and water on the course. They over water the sheet out of the place. Every hole has a couple areas that look like a 5 ton truck drove through the mud on it. All golf balls have mud on them, some even plugged today. Greens and traps are a mess w all the water they sprinkler into them. Funny thing is, it hasn’t rained in 8 months.

Due to the extreme heat they have been over watering to keep the grass alive. As a result, there are muddy sections and some pretty chewed up spots. Luckily the greens are in pretty good shape. Some tee boxes are also covered in crab grass. Hopefully they can get things back under control but still a fun course.

Worst greens I’ve played on all year, way too soft. They were beat up! Divots and bumps all over. No consistency. Tee boxes were rough. Just overall not a well maintained course.

We had an afternoon Tee time for a very reasonable price. Checking in at the Pro shop was quick and easy, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was in excellent condition, and I have always enjoyed the layout of the course! Playing golf with my friends is always a great day, and Empire Ranch is beautiful and fun to play!

Greens tougher than usual. Seems like lots of players not tendon to the greens. Greens may also need to be rolled.

Pace of play was not enforced. I love seeing young golfers in the course but I suggest that before letting them loose in the course by themselves, they should learn and be taught proper golf etiquettes. I was finishing 9th hole by myself, single, with a cart when I noticed two young girls walking towards the 10th tee. A player with proper etiquette would not jump in front of a single player in a cart. These two young girls, walking, clearly beginners (their drives did not go past 150 yards), just get on with their business, oblivious of what’s happening behind them. Clearly they felt entitled just like many children nowadays.

Not enough shade trees. Will never go back in the summer. Bunkers were terrible.

The bunkers shouldn’t have standing water in the middle of July.

Greens were is excellent condition. Please repair your divots!! Fairways were cut well and in good shape. Please fill in your fairway divots. The golf club is doing all it can to maintain this course. Players, please respect the course and fill in your holes.

This course was great today. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great condition. The greens were receptive and balls rolled true. If I’ve any complain it is regarding bunkers. The bunkers were a bit wet and muddy

Empire Ranch is a local 'go to' course. We play most of the local Sacramento courses and find Empire to be a better value for well conditioned fair playing layout than many other local courses.. The staff are very helpful and pace of play is consistently good.

Empire Ranch was in great shape when we played. Additionally, the rate was better than any other course in the area. We were able to play quickly and have fun.
