Empire Ranch Golf Club

Empire Ranch Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-71 course playing 6,668 yards. The facility includes a driving range and charges premium green fees. The par-71 layout provides a full-length test across the rolling terrain east of Sacramento.

The course is in Folsom, a city in the Sacramento foothills known for Folsom Lake and the American River. Serrano Country Club and Granite Bay Golf Club are nearby, along with Cameron Park Country Club farther into the Gold Country hills. The elevation here is higher than the Sacramento Valley floor, which brings slightly cooler temperatures and gentle terrain contours to the layout. Summer heat is still significant, but the area cools off faster in the evenings than the valley below.
