Empire Ranch Golf Club

This course has been recommended a few times to me and I finally made it out there. I’ve got to see I understand the hype this course is well kept with a challenging layout but still gives you lots of opportunities to recover. One of the best courses in Sacramento for me. Can’t wait for my next round here.

Only played 9 holes due to very slow play and paid or 18.

Course is in great shape.

Slow play due to some SCERS tournament in front of us.

Paid $57 for 18 and a cart on a Friday afternoon. Overall was a positive experience was able to get through 18 in 4.5 hours.

As a complete beginner the course was a bit tough at points but enjoyed every bit of it. I loved the course layout, the views, the nature. Very positive experience across the board. Can’t speak for a weekend, but weekday afternoons, this place was great.

Empire is one of my favorite places to play. It offered a great course under very good conditions. Only thing is our round took 5 hours and 30 minutes waiting every shot for groups in front of us. If it weren’t for this I would play here more often. Not sure if it’s tee times being stacked to close or not enough pace of play patrolling. There were 2 singles that kept bouncing around holes trying to find openings to fit into

The fact it rained as much as it did days before we played the course was in great shape. The greens rolled very true and overall it was a very pleasant round

Course is an excellent shape. But that should be expected at this time of year. The.exception is the bunkers, some bunkers have too much sand makes very difficult to pitch out of. Other bunkers are just a dirt hole in the ground. Pace of plate was horrible. Marshall made one attempt to speed it up, but it didn’t work.

The course was in terrible condition.

tee boxes were all being worked on. bunkers were unplayable except for a few. Greens had been punched recently and were rough at best. cafeteria closed at 3 that date and no cart for refreshments.

Good course, good condition, wide fairways, challenging fast greens, Bunker placement a little unfair for average players. Golf carts have annoying GPS feature. Restaurant was closed for unknown reasons. Friendly, informative staff.

Course is in good condition and the greens were good.

The bunkers were embarrassing.

Great course, amazingly well-manicured and green fairways, super fun and challenging, but your 1st tee check-in guy was a complete dick for no reason at my round at 1pm on Thursday, February 5th. So, that was less than enjoyable.

Along with Timber Creek Golf Course, Empire Ranch is the best manged courses in the area. Green are fast and very puttable.
