Best Condition Public Course
The consition of the course was the best it's ever been in recent years. it's like playing at a private club. it's bunker finally got more sand now you can actually play “bunker shot “ instead of “chip shot” to get the ball out.
Played at noon and the pace was great!

Great round, challenging course
Had a great round today. Hadn’t played empire ranch in close to a decade. Has the potential for tons of water hazards if the water levels are maxed out. Houses didn’t feel like they were in play, which is nice when on the box. Back nice was a little slow and we got started 20 mins early which meant no warm ups. Course was in very good shape. Look forward to playing it again.

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
