About Empire Ranch Golf Club

Empire Ranch Golf Club in Folsom is a highly regarded public course built on the rolling oak-studded terrain above Folsom Lake, offering one of the premier public golf experiences in the Sacramento region. The layout weaves through a residential community while preserving significant natural areas including mature oak woodland, rock outcroppings, and arroyos that define many holes. Significant elevation changes across the property create memorable downhill and uphill shots, and the exposed ridgeline holes deliver sweeping views of the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills. The course plays challenging from the back tees but is well-suited to golfers of all abilities from the forward positions. Empire Ranch has consistently ranked among the top public courses in Northern California for its conditioning, design variety, and scenic setting. The Folsom location makes it convenient for Sacramento-area golfers.

History

Empire Ranch Golf Club opened in 1997 as part of the Empire Ranch master-planned community in Folsom. The course was designed to integrate with the natural oak woodland terrain of the Sierra foothills, preserving significant native landscape. It quickly established itself as one of the benchmark public courses in the Sacramento metro area.

Sacramento-area golfers who want a genuine Sierra foothills challenge with beautiful natural scenery at public course prices.
