Impressed with Course Conditions
Empire Ranch was in great shape! The greens were beautiful but played a little softer and slower than most other courses in the area. Everything else was really good. Played in under 4 hours which was a miracle as well! Great experience.

Greens are in great shape
Greens are growing in quite nicely after punching a while ago. Playing a little slower than normal but will probably get faster as the greens finish recovering.

Great day to play!
Got our early and beat the crowds. Greens are in great condition, but people really need to fix their pitch marks. I had to repair at least 2 to 3 on each green.

Amazing Day of Golf
The weather was perfect (low 70's) with only a slight breeze. The fairways and green were in fantastic condition. The guys at the check-in desk were cordial and efficient. My round of golf was not that great, but that's on me, not the course! I'd play ER again in a heartbeat.
