Empire Ranch Golf Club

Did not enjoy the amount of walking required. Even with a cart I had to walk back and forth from the cart path so many times I felt like I had walked the full course

It is a fairly well maintained course and is always busy being an only golf course in Folsom area.

One thing I always notice that there are many soggy patches of grass that seem dying of over-watering. If your approach shot does not get one the green. it will not roll on. It is wet and very soft especially in low areas.

Bunker's gotten more sand but some are wet. again too much watering.

Greens always preety good.

I hope the greenskeeper or manager can address the soggy condition.

Slow play high handicappers course no respectable Marshals Overrated OVERPRICED

Some of the reviews here put me off trying this course, but I thought it was great. started at 2PM on a cool day, caught up with another group and joined them. pace was fine. grass condition was fine. all the traps I hit into had fine sand in them (2). The blind fairways over hills were a challenge for a first timer, and I'm sure I still have a ball sitting in the middle of one fairway that I just couldn't find over the blind hill. I enjoyed it a lot and will try it again. a lot easier than Apple Mountain or The Ridge in my opinion. I'm a high handicapper and shot to my handicap here.. it was fun and encouraging after losing so many sleeves of balls at Apple Mountain.

Far too often courses don’t manage the pace of play. There is rarely a Marshall on this course and often times groupings are waiting 5 to 10 minutes to tee off, specifically on the 18th. Drawback of having a par 3 as the finishing hole. Perhaps flip the front and back 9 so people stopping at the turn also don’t hold up play while getting food.

It really takes away from this course, which is pretty open and fairly simple yet fun to play. It is the only course in Folsom and it’s pretty much always full.

Love this course layout. Pace of play was good on the front 9 then slowed way down on the back. Course conditions have gone downhill over time, and I would like to see them capitalize more on the popularity of the driving range. They can open it for more hours or expand the size, make more money and put that into the course maintenance. Lots of ground under repair, ugly rough sue to lack of maintenance, and big puddles of water in the bunkers. For the price I expect better from this course.

At 630 am I would expect to play in three hours, not 4:15
