Empire Ranch Golf Club is an 18-hole public course in Folsom, California, designed by Brad Bell and opened in 2002. The club describes the layout as a blend of links-style and parkland golf. Its current Blue tees measure 6,547 yards at par 71, with a 71.5 course rating and slope of 127.
Tournament, White, Combo and Red tee combinations provide shorter alternatives. Contemporary golf-industry reporting records that the project took roughly seven years from planning to opening and involved B and Z Property, Brad Bell and Wadsworth Construction. The site uses bent-grass greens and rye-grass fairways, with water incorporated into several holes, including the closing par-three.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 71, 6,547 yards, course rating 71.5 and slope rating 127. Designed by Brad Bell, the course originally opened in 2002. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Putting Greens, Chipping Area, Pro Shop, Restaurant.
Empire Ranch was developed by B and Z Property with architect Brad Bell and Wadsworth Construction. Wetland mitigation and rocky ground contributed to delays during a lengthy planning and construction process.
Bell combined parkland characteristics with sculpted mounding and open, links-influenced visual features. The routing culminates in a par-three closing hole played over water.
The course opened in May 2002 after its extended development period. Its practice range opened later in 2002.
Empire Ranch operates as a public daily-fee course with online reservations, a tiered time-of-day rate structure and practice facilities.
