Empire Ranch Golf Club

About Empire Ranch Golf Club

This public track in Folsom delivers solid golf without the pretension you'll find at some of the area's pricier options. The course sits in rolling terrain that gives you legitimate elevation changes and interesting lies, though nothing too severe. What sets Empire Ranch apart is its walker-friendly design. You can actually walk the entire loop without feeling like you need supplemental oxygen, which is increasingly rare these days. The conditioning stays consistent throughout the season, and while it won't blow you away visually, the layout keeps you engaged with enough risk-reward opportunities to make club selection matter. At 4.2 stars from over 350 reviews, this is clearly a course that delivers on expectations without overpromising. The value proposition is strong for the Sacramento area, especially if you prefer walking your round. It's the kind of place where you can show up without a tee time anxiety attack, enjoy a legitimate test of golf, and leave feeling like you got your money's worth. Not a destination course, but a reliable option that locals return to regularly.
