Im confused, Not sure why there rating is so low! it was a really great course. Challenging and well kept. Nice people. The cart had a patched seat but I don't fell like that's as big a deal like the reviews make it. At the end of the day it was great golfing with awesome views at an amazing price.

Lots of weeds, lots of ground under repair, lots of dead spots in the middle of fairways, greens were absolutely atrocious. Cart started dying on the 12th but luckily limped through the rest of my round. Course has potential but needs a lot of work. Also I feel like you should get an honest warning about the course conditions before being charged full price for a round. Employees were friendly and helpful. That is the ONLY reason I give it 2 stars, otherwise it would be 1 or less if possible.

We held our wedding event here. I was hesitant when I saw the indoor area BUT the outside space & bridal room were perfect. The venue manager Kristy was incredible accommodating and kept her promise that everything will be exceptional. Fantastic food, great service for an affordable price. Thank you so much for helping us to create our dream wedding!

So first and foremost I will say don’t give this course your money. The course itself is in horrendous condition. The fairway is tore up with no margins between rough, ground under repair, and any discernible fairway. The majority of the course is overrun with weeds. If you attempt to tee off before 10am you are met with soppy conditions with greens being completely drenched. Sprinklers will be running as you attempt to navigate the course. The amenities, let’s just say are non existent. There is no cart girl. The driving range grass is nothing but tore up and you’ll be hitting out of divots and off dirt. The practice balls look like they haven’t been replaced since the early 2000s. The carts are barely operational. Torn seats with patches, brakes that hardly work. No charging ports and most don’t even have windshields. The cart I had today the roof was coming off and the bag strap on the back was busted forcing me to continually tighten it every few holes to keep my bag on. The Marshal/Starter on the course is the rudest, probably most arrogant person I’ve ever met. On a packed Sunday we were harassed about pace of place when we were on a standard 4:30 hour round. This place wants to take your money and offer you the trashiest round in the Reno/sparks/carson area. Don’t waste your money, go play any other course. You can go across the street and play a course in much better condition for less.

This is a very beautiful course. I would highly recommend playing The Empire Ranch Golf Course. I was simply a mom tagging along behind my daughter, during a Girls' Golf tournament. I should start by saying that the leadership of this course allowed the hosting team to use their course for their "home" tournament, when their home course was not available for the tournament. That was special and awesome enough, but past that, they went above and beyond to be helpful, hospitable, and accomodating to all the players, coaches, and parents that attended. For me, personally, the gentlemen that helped me just renting a cart, so that I could follow along and keep up, were super friendly and I really appreciated that. The course itself is beautiful, and so peaceful and quiet. There are a few dry spots, maybe from the extra hot summer, but they are clearly being tended to and in recovery, so still in really great shape. It is a good challenging course, plenty of natural hazards, which are very interesting, and while you'd want to avoid them with your ball, lol, they made for some of my favorite photos that I took throughout the day. Cart paths are in very good shape, love the little bridges, not even a handful of rough spots throughout, and again, even those few also look like they are getting the same continuing maintenance and TLC that the rest of the course is clearly getting. I would expect to have a good start, good service, a good game, and a good time here. Big thank yous again to those that extended themselves to take on the large tournament today. It, and your hospitality, was much appreciated, especially by this senior's mom, getting to see her play one last time, and at such a beautiful place, was gold. ❤
