Empire Ranch Golf Club

Played empire two days in a row

Worth checking out if in the sac area

Our whole group enjoyed the course and now we’re looking for tee times there first.

The course was in great shape. There were a couple fairway soft spots due to rain and some standing water in a couple bunkers which I expected. The greens were soft on approach but rolled quickly likely due to the wind. Kudos to the greens keepers and fellow golfers for using sand when appropriate and fixing those divots.

It’s in pretty good shape tee to green but as usual overwatered. I hit a 3 wood to 18, it hit the right side of the hump and rolled two feet after a 1” deep divot. That’s to wet.

Played in the morning, walked 18. Course conditions were good. Bunkers are in much better condition than earlier in the year. Definitely my go to course in the area. Will be coming back again and again. Only thing that needs improvement is the driving range, very mediocre and mats need to be replaced. Wish it had Top Flight technology, that would be great

The course needs more Marshals. The pace of play was very slow due to a very drunk foursome in front of the group in front of us. Eventually the group in front of us was able to play thru but now the slow group is in front of us. We called once but no marshal was sent out. Little over 5hrs to play 18 holes. Ridiculous

It has looked better in years past. Greens in good shape but rough around the greens burned. Bunkers need a complete overhaul- matted sand an some weeds growing on bunkers..

I've played this course several times. I enjoyed playing as it's always been well maintained and a fun course to play.

Although this time, the course was in the worst shape I have ever experienced. It was extremely wet and many of the fairways were torn-up due to the amount of water. The cart was skidding and got stuck in over-water fairways several times during the round. Another sure sign the course is not being well maintained was unsightly crabgrass in many of the fairways and shoulder areas. The tee boxes had divots, greens were slow and pocked with ball marks that were un-repaired.

Hopefully, management does something to address these issues, or they could be pushing customers to look for greener pastures. I hope not.

The staff was very friendly and informative the course was in great shape and the pace of play was the best I’ve experienced in a good while if I remember correctly playied it in a 4some in just under four hours.
