Empire Ranch Golf Club

Empire Ranch has been my home course for the last few years. This is a good track with a variety of holes and it’s in very good condition now except some of the bunkers need more sand. Most of the time the pace of play is pretty good but on this Saturday it was closer to a five hour round. The course is fair; you can score pretty well if you stay in the fairways and are putting well but can also punish you for errant shots.

Course was in great shape, fairways were tight, greens ran smoothly. Matt may very well be the best grill man in Sacramento area.

1:00 tee time and only made it to 13. Waiting on every box after 1. Didn’t see a marshall all afternoon. Must have been 4 groups piled up at 18 still trying to tee off when we drove past to leave. Grounds crew does a stellar job, turf was in great shape. Little soggy in some bunkers but rain will do that.

I belong to men’s club based at Empire Ranch so play this course quite a bit. Course is in very good condition; greens are good also. Typically pace of play is pretty good but this round took about five hours had a couple foursomes in front of us that just were slow.

Great layout course,course was really wet n spongey,and my round was 5 hours that is way to long for week day!!!! Would only recommend this to friend if pace was faster!

Greens were recently punched (as usual, are difficult to putt) but needed to be done to maintain excellent greens. Course seems to be getting lots of water, so expect playing a mud ball and losing distance in the fairways and around the green. Rough is thick and tall which makes it extremely hard to locate your ball as well as play out of it. The aeration plugs have been raked around the green in the rough. Course will be in great shape within a week or two.

The course is in great shape. The traps actually have sand. Unlike some courses that charge around the same price. Greens are pretty quick. Even in the early morning, when they’re still wet. It’s a fun layout

Staff was great. Front nine was great. The dogs were great. The back nice was great. The greens were fast. My golf game was horrible. Thank you empire for a great time.

We play here twice a week and for the last 3-4 weeks the course is soaking wet no matter what time you play. You hit a good drive only to land in mud or get plugged. The bunkers are wet too. Yes , the grass is nice and green but please, please stop overwatering. We are considering playing elsewhere until the conditions improve.

Many of the fairways areas have fungus problems. Bunkers need new sand., Greens are in good shape and the new card path was long overdue.
