Empire Ranch Golf Club

I played after work on Thursday and was able to complete a round starting at 4:30. I played this course for years and typically play during twilight hours when rates are reasonable (was $20 on golfnow this time). Course was in pretty good shape but gets a lot of play and greens a bumpy. For those who haven't played it - there is not much shade on the course so be prepared if it is hot out.

Love this course and am fortunate it is the closest course to me. Took our 4some almost the exact amount of recommended pace for 18 holes. They have the rate of play times on the cart, and it was almost spot on each time. Course is in great shape. Super friendly staff. This one guy that drives around in a cart has been extremely nice and helpful the past few times I've been. I don't know his name but i think i remember him having grayish hair and a matching goatee, i think.

Course is in great shape as of may 27, 2018. But they are the only course in the area, and they charge accordingly. No competition, equals higher prices.

Loved all aspects of the course.....from routing and elevation changes, to smooth greens and manicured fairways. Staff was terrific as well.....pro shop, starter, restaurant. Looking forward to going back. Highly recommend.

From the time I arrived, this place is doing things right. The pro shop was informative, at the range, the range worker offered extr balls, the starter placed my tee time on the cart. The pace of play was excellent!!!! The course was in great condition. Flawless greens, smooth fairways, bunkers with actual sand, and the visibility of an actual marshal. I will be back for sure.

We felt very welcome. Each member of the staff including the pro shop staff, the food service and the on-course marshalls were very helpful. We experienced a good pace of play. We finished our round within the recommended 4 1/3 Hour time.

Never had a problem playing here. Always count on a great day. Staff and conditions very consistent.

Great place to play with your friends! We always have a great time.

Not much to say. Decent day just need to get better.

At the turn while teeing off our twosome was approached by the Course Marshal and asked us if another twosome could join us because the front was really backed up. We were having a really relaxed round and our pace of play was at 2 hours for first nine. I hesitantly said yes and the twosome was still putting on there shoes. Lo and behold they were hitting off the tips and continued to speed golf around the back nine, they were extremely rude and showed no golf etiquette as we were hitting behind them. We couldn't tell where they were on some of the fairways and just hit their balls out of turn.

I regret letting them play with us. The Marshall seemed to know the one guy and possibly got preferential treatment.

Expecting it to rain, it didn't! We played 18 in 3 hours, 45 minutes. Fairways and greens are in great shape for this time of year.

Empire ranch and Folsom is one of my favorite courses

Course is in great condition, just wished we didn’t get rained and hailed out after the 8th hole

Had the best game in some of the years worst weather, course was awesome as usual can't wait for the next.

I have played this course many times over the last several years. It is always in great condition. The staff is always very nice. It can be crowded at times because it is so nice. It's just challenging enough, not too tough. The hot dog used to be the best but this time the bun was not good. The dog itself was great. Hopefully they will go back to a .roll type bun.

A great many memorable holes, well designed, finishing stretch one of the best in Sacramento area

Great course. Great day. Just wished my game was better!!!
