Golfer Reviews
Lots of fun
Great course with a wide open fairway. I was not able to see the greens on a few holes but that only added to the challenge. Very nicely taken care of with clear markings regarding length of hole, number of hole and cleanliness of hole. We had a great time.
Good course, very nice staff, good food
Empire Ranch is a great place to play!! Other than the occasional slow play, everything is A OKAY!! One small issue for me would be to offer up a couple cold sandwiches on the mobile food/drink cart.
Staff and course conditions are EXCELLENT!!!
Beautiful Course, Great Layout
The course is very well maintained, pace of play for a Sunday afternoon was good, friendly and informed staff, an overall excellent value and golfing experience!
Good course but pace slow play not addressed
An above average course but no attention to slow play. Tee times just packed on top of one another. It's just too busy. Food is OK and the staff is friendly enough.
My favorite public course in Sacramento County
The pace of play was fine until we got to the 10th. At the 18th, there were about two groups waiting when we got there. The course was in great shape as usual.
Course is in great shape!
Empire Ranch is clearly working to improve the golfing experience at their course. The practice tee area has been completely redone - new distance markers, new hitting mats which are very nice. The cart paths have all been repaved. Course keeps getting better and better.
Course has a nice layout but 5+ hour round is too long
The overall course was in good condition (fairways and around the green has too tight of lies for the average golfer), but the pace of play was way too slow. Took us over 5 hours to play and there was not a Marshall on the course. They should remove the starter and use him as a Marshall to speed up play.
This course is always in excellent condition.
The course is always in excellent condition. On this particular day they had 2 tournaments scheduled so we were a little late in starting but the pace was fine after we got out on the course. There are some challenging holes, in fact, most of the holes have something to keep you focused.
course is in great shape , greens are fast
Empire Ranch is in great shape , right now . The greens have been punched and mowed for the season and are rolling fast and holding nothing . There is a remodel of the bunker complex on the first green going on , will probably have sand in it again by the weekend . other than that course is in great shape !
One of my favorite CA courses
Great course which I feel is under rated. Love it. Moved here from Wa St in 2005 and Empire has become one of my favorite courses.
COURSE IN GOOD SHAPE...GOOD PRICE FOR THE ROUND...
COURSE IN GOOD SHAPE...GOOD PRICE FOR THE ROUND...GREENS TRICKIER THAN THEY LOOK...
HAD A GOOD TIME, EVEN IN THE STRONG WIND...
Greens, fairways, tee boxes very good. Sand Traps AWFUL!!
This is the third time playing the course over a 18 mo. period and every time the Bunkers were as hard as decomposed granite, you can walk in to approach your ball and leave no foot prints.
great lay out!
The staff was very nice and helpful, the course was in great shape even tho they just punched the greens a few days ago..It has a lot of character ..Great course!
Best greens of any public course I have played.
Played on a Friday afternoon with 5 family members. Staff was very accomodating in allowing us to play two 3 somes. Only complaint was the long round because of the number of players they put out on the course. Played from the tips and found the course a good test of golf.
Challenging without being impossible. Very fast greens with extreme breaks.
We were lucky to play with two guys who knew the course. That helped with the many blind fairway drives. I liked the greens, but they were hard to read and were very fast. The breaks were extreme. The pace of play was good until we caught up with a very slow foursome ahead of us. I hate it when people don't play ready golf and take forever to hit the ball.
Other than that, it was a great day. I actually shot my best (85) in a very long time!.
The greens make this course a challenge, they were very fast and had a lot of subtle breaks.
i will definently play this course again. With the GolfNow discount this was a very affordable golf course.
