Empire Ranch Golf Club

Considering the recent wet weather, the course was in great shape. Of course, a lot of the traps had water, but that was to be expected. The greens were a little hard but generally excellent shape. Surprisingly good pace of play. The shop staff were super helpful and courteous. The bar seemed to close a little early but we got the last round of beers...

Enjoyed the course. This course was pretty much wide open, giving the golfer chances for fair recovery shots from wayward drives. If you're hitting it straight, you'll do well. (that's pretty obvious, duh), but this statement is not without serious consideration. Greens were fair and consistent.

Tough finishing hole with elevated tee to small green with undulation. No Marshall to keep slow golfers moving under 5 hrs.

Had a great round. Morgan in the Pro Shot, excellent service

Cart part only. Bunkers were in bad condition but they’ve have lots of rain and only a few days to dry out. Greens are in great condition and rolling about 9.5. Rest of course was really wet but playable.

This is one of the best places to play after lots of rain - it drains exceptionally well and the greens were in great shape. We really enjoyed the first good weather day in last 2 weeks.

Would give it 5 stars and it’s not their fault that it was a little muddy. Had record rain fall. Love the layout and considering the rain amounts it actually drained pretty good. Haven’t played here in a few years but plan on coming back soon. Let it dry out a bit first.

Course was amazing, very well maintained from 1-18.

Only complaint is the Marshall since ED retired, is that none of the Marshall’s are forcing Pace of Play. From 1:00 tee time it was 5:05 when we started hole 14…

Its a busy track but twilight pace was awesome. My buddy and I finished 18 teeing off at 120. The layout is really fun for the rec player. The type of course where isnt not easy to go low but also not going to blow up your handicap. Conditions were very playable considering the traffic. Greens are set up for rec players but roll true and are healthy. Only two knocks are some muddy spots in a few areas with poor drainage(expected for winter) and no walking rate.

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

Fun track, great staff in the pro shop, and if you got an extra few, Josh and Matt in the grill maybe the best in Sacramento area.

Greens are in very good condition. Fairways are good too. Just some patchiness in some of the rough around the greens.

I noticed a group of women in holiday garb at the practice area. The starter let another group out ahead of them. I joined a group(as a single) after them. They went off the first tee as 4 and 2. After that they joined up and created a bottleneck. Starter said they all know how to play and will pick up and move on - they didn't - and when they couldn't keep up with group ahead - marshal flirted with them and got them more out of position. Who lets a 6-some play - and on a FRIDAY
