Dobson Ranch Golf Course

DR is as good a value as there is in the east valley, especially for Maricopa County residents and even more so for Mesa locals. Great practice facility! The course is an old, tree lined course with flat fairways and sloped greens. Usually those fairways are pretty good and the greens are fast, but this time of year the conditions are a bit sketchy. Fairways and rough were a tad spotty and the greens were bumpy and a little slow. This is not a knock on DR. Just a word of warning about course conditions this’s time of year. Most courses dip a tad right after the spring and punch their greens. You still won’t do better than DR for the money. If you need pristine conditions, you’ll have to pay closer to $100, which just seems silly. Prices or temps can be triple digits. Not both.

Beer pricing is horrible, $8 pet beer with a ranch card???? I can pay that much without paying for a Ranch card in Scottsdale!!! Lower your prices!!!!

Its summer conditions and I knew there would be spots in the middle of the fairway that would be dry or dirt. You just bump the ball to the closest piece of grass and play on. Cant beat the price and course layout. This course will make you carry a bunker, draw it around the dogleg and make you earn your score. You can definitely shoot some confident building scores here but you can also get mindless and get worked by the course.

They aerated the greens a week ago and a few fairways that caused some challenges. But it is a good course, well kept and they keep adding amenities like a new putt putt course and outdoor seating.

The course overall very nice, I picked this course since the others I looked at had aerification notices on their websites. This did not so I chose to play here. So I start to play and guess what? Yes Sir the course is all aerified very disappointing.

Course is reasonably priced, always in great condition, and well-managed. The entire staff (Pro shop, starters, rangers, cart and bev cart people, etc.) are welcoming, inclusive and friendly. One time I showed up 5-10 minutes before tee time and not one member of the staff made me feel less than. And still, they were able to keep everyone on pace (even with my shanks). That takes teamwork and the staff makes all the difference in the experience.

I really enjoyed my round; the biggest flaw was that there was no communication regarding the aerating of the fairways, Greens. All other courses notified us of a recent aeration and that is why I picked this course.

Coarse was in tough shape with greens and some of the fairways being punched. Wish you had yellow range balls would make it easier to play holes nine and ten. Might want to be a little more strict on your dress code also.

I understand it’s summer in the desert, and expectations for corse quality should be tempered. However, notice that every fairway and green has been aerated and course conditions are subpar is the proper response. Maybe a free beverage or free bucket added for the not great Plato g conditions?

Joe, Andrew and their staff always treat me and others with the greatest respect and friendliness. I always enjoy my trips to Dobson Ranch

Mark at the range was very helpful. Overall the staff are nice. Great environment to practice your game

Joe and Andrew have a great staff. It's always "a beautiful day at Dobson Ranch".
