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.

Covid has not Destroyed this Golf Business
The course was in excellent condition for this time of year and the amount of rounds being played at Empire. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Despite Covid restrictions, the facility works well and still gives excellent service.

Thanksgiving Golf
Played on Thanksgiving day. Shotgun start on the 11th. Pace of play was great. Only waited to hit a couple times. Conditions on course were better than just about any of the other 6 public courses I’ve played in last couple months in Sac/Folsom area. Will be back soon for more.
