Course is in great shape despite the heavy rains lately. Walked because it was cart path only.

Solid Course

Haven't played Empire in a while, which made layups and club selections challenging. Course was in really good condition. Greens were fast and well kept. It was pretty crowded and we were required to wait on several holes. This is the only course in town, so back-up are fairly common. Allow for a 5 hr round

18 holes

the course is fun yet challenging. The only complaint is that the golfers don't repair tee box or fairway divots and green pits caused by the balls when they land.. The club should speak to each golfer when they are paying and again at the check in for the first hole to be considerate and fill in your divots and repair green dents.
