Empire Lakes Golf Course

Coordinates: 34°05′02″N 117°33′52″W / 34.083857°N 117.564451°W / 34.083857; -117.564451 Empire Lakes Golf Course was a public, daily fee golf course designed by Arnold Palmer located in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The course was home to the Nationwide Tour event, the Mark Christopher Charity Classic. The 18-hole, par 72 course featured a challenging 7,034 yards (6,432 m) from the black tees, fairways with water features and hills, a large bi-directional practice area and golf school, and a clubhouse and pro shop.[1]

In late 2015, regional developer, The Lewis Group of Companies, proposed closing the golf course and redeveloping the property into 2650–3450 high-density residential units, as well as retail, commercial, and office space.[2]

On May 18, 2016, the Rancho Cucamonga City Council certified the final Environmental Impact Report and approved the amendments to the city's General Plan and the project's Specific Plan.[3]

The golf course was closed permanently on May 31, 2016. Construction is expected to take 8–10 years, with the first units ready for occupancy as early as 2017.[4][2]
