Good value for the money
Pretty open course. Was in possibly the best condition I’ve ever played it. Tough finishing hole for a par 3 as you typical hit into a steady headwind with a 5-6 story change in elevation from tee to green. Greens were excellent.
Under rated gem!
Empire is a great course that offers challenges for every skill level. Great layout an amazing greens!
Pace of play could definitely improve. The Marshalls don’t really seem to enforce it nor seem to care.
Other than that, I highly recommend Empire and absolutely love playing there.
Also, the food is second to none!!! Best clubhouse food in the Sacramento region! Hands down.
Not thrilled
Beautiful course with great scenery. Very well maintained--greens were immaculate. Forgiving of errant shots because so few trees and wide fairways. Less skilled players will score lower than on more mature golf courses. Problem is all the blind shots because of hills and hidden dog legs. This takes time to find your ball if you misshit or even if you make a good shot. So, you are going to get hassled by the marshall because of your pace of play--hard to avoid especially if you have never played this course before. Not fun to have drama on a Sunday after a hard week at work. Other courses in Sacramento are more forgiving in the sense that you can see where your ball lands and won't spend time searching for it resulting in faster play. Low rating because hard to meet the course requirement for pace of play. Otherwise beautiful course and fun to play.
Cart Path Only, grumpy staff
Front desk guy that checked us in was pretty grumpy and set a weird vibe for the day. The course was cart path only, which is not the best. Large divots on the fairway which my ball went into several times. Would avoid for the next 6 months and try again.
Great experience
I was added to a great group of golfers. Made my first session at Empire Ranch extremely enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back.
Club House Scrooge
Course is in good condition for winter golf. Greens look great. Cart path only slows down pace of play. We definitely needed the marshal to speed up the groups ahead of us. Club house staff was underwhelming. We showed up before our tee time, but had to endure a lecture about showing up even earlier. It’s the holidays, we are here to have fun with friends and family. The entitled club house staff put a bad note to the start of our golf day. Bah humbug!
Great golf course
Played empire two days in a row
Worth checking out if in the sac area
Beautiful Tuesday afternoon following weekend rain.
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.
