course is in good shape

Empire Ranch always seems to be busy. But I was pleasantly surprised that course was in great shape and pace of play was good. I always look forward to the view from the 18th tee and the challenge it provides.

Starter was rude and so was the assistant manager

The starter was rude and is rude every time I play there. I play there 2 to 3 times a week and felt like him and the assistant manager don’t care for the business of me and a few people I play with. We all play there a lot and have spent a lot of money there over the years. I think the assistant manager should be demoted and the starter should be fired. I’m not saying I won’t play there again but I’m thinking about playing elsewhere more often, especially on Monday which is my day off every week.

Great day

Decided to head over last minute on a sunny Sunday in January. Course looks pretty crowded on the first couple of tees when I pulled up as a single. Starter was super friendly. He suggested I go off the back nine cents a shotgun tournament had just finished. Play the back nine in about an hour and 10 minutes then was able to play the whole front nine with very little weight. Really fun course good conditions for winter. Super friendly staff. Birdie on number 18 from the blue tees didn’t hurt…

Drains Better Than Most

Although the course was wet it has been in better conditions than other courses in the area with the exception of the pond in the fairway on hole 3.

First Time Playing

Great course

One of the best courses I’ve played all year. Condition of fairways was exceptional, rough was typically a little tall for winter conditions, but well groomed, greens were fast and challenging and even the fall leaves were well collected preventing the frustration of balls lost in the short rough due to a thick covering of dead leaves. Truly a pleasure to play. I was lucky enough to have a free Tuesday to get out which no doubt helped the pace of play on the day of my round, but I was able to walk 18 holes in a foursome in almost exactly 4 hours.
