Vibe Notes: Course is beautiful and challenging but the driving range is standard for basic practice. However, the course layout, food at Greenside Grille, and overall golf experience are praised. Reddit users say Empire is worth it at its price point.

Description

Empire Ranch Driving Range in Folsom offers a driving range hitting off artificial mats with 6 practice tees. The driving range, is attached to Empire Ranch Golf Course, and is positioned for convenient access before rounds on this links/parkland-style 18-hole course. Range balls come in three bucket sizes ($6-$16). While the course itself receives strong reviews for its scenic layout and challenging holes, the driving range has received mixed feedback, with some Yelp reviewers calling it the worst in the area. The facility also includes a short game area adjacent to the first tee and a large putting green closer to the clubhouse.

The course features eight different tee combinations to accommodate players of all abilities, from beginners (fast tees at 3,641 yards) to advanced players (blue tees at 6,668 yards).
