Great Course

This was our second time playing this round coming down from Reno. Pace of play was a little slow and as a rhythm player it was bothersome to have to wait so much. Course was in great condition with a lot wildlife to watch while you’re waiting to hit your next shot.

Hidden gem

In today’s world of Covid-19, it appears many courses raised their rates to accommodate the loss of tee times in an hour to provide better social distancing. However, Empire managed to keep the green fees down and very reasonable in today’s world. The course condition was a little soupy due recent rain and there’s a few cancer spots on a few greens. Given the circumstances versus the price it was a good experience and I will return to play again

Still Recovering

This was my first time playing the course since Mother Nature wiped out the red course. The rest of the course is still recovering from a lot of water this year and some spots on the fairways were a little soupy to drive on. No marshals on the course to tell the groups (like the one’s in front of us today) to pick up their pace of play. Some people need to swallow their pride and realize they can’t drive a ball 275-300+ Yards so play off the tees that suit your game and while their at it fix your pitch marks on the green, it’s called etiquette and it’s really okay to respect the course as well as the players you’re holding up.

Hidden gem

This was our first time playing this course, we were very impressed with everything. We're kinda upset we hadn't played here before as we come down from Reno once a year on a golf trip. We will definitely be back. We would highly recommend this course and we can't wait to come back and play it again soon.

Too slow

Course was in great shape, pace of play was ridiculous and not one marshal out ensuring the pace of play was maintained. Very disappointing. If groups are going to play so slow they should be forced to let faster groups play through.

True pleasure

We come down from Reno once a year for a 3 day golf trip and this is a staple course to play. Great course for any skill level and always a pleasure to play especially during the week when it's not too busy at all

Incredible time

This was our first time playing and coming from Reno it was definitely worth the drive. Course was in great condition, we teed off at 1:00 and were pulling off the 18th green by 4:15. Great pace of play. Already working on arranging another trip down from Reno to play Teal Bend and maybe another course in the area.

A must play

This was the first time my friend and I played this course, the Golfnow pricing was really good and totally made it worth while to drive from Reno to play. I was impressed from the time we arrived with everything. The practice greens, driving range and chipping green were in great condition and very accessible. The staff was friendly and helpful. The course was in great condition despite the dry season the west coast is in and the pace of play was good. We can't wait to get back up to Graeagle to play again in the next couple of weeks. This course made our list of must play a few times a year list

Majestic Mountain Course

We got a great deal and a great tee time, this course is in excellent condition and is a lot of fun to play despite how challenging it is. This course will humble any level of golfer. We played in just over 3 hours and felt like we had the course to ourselves. A very enjoyable and relaxing experience for all. This course is just about an hour from Reno and well worth the drive.

Great value

14th hole with the 200ft elevation change from the tee box to the green is still out of commission due to last years flash flood, despite that the course is a great value and appears to never be busy enough to encounter slow play, good variety of water hazards on the front nine and challenging elevation changes on the back nine, love this course.
