Dobson Ranch Golf Course

I bought a Foursome on GolfNow. Paid 11 bucks. Paid the rest at the golf course. Jeremy made us pay 33 bucks not the 27.50 it said on Golf Now. So I ended up paying over 43 bucks. He is crazy. Fire him.

My wife and I enjoyed playing here, greens were good and easy to read. Fairways were groomed with very little bare spots. The course I normally play at is the opposite of these conditions and the rates are the same. I’m anxious to use the driving range some time.

Looking forward to our next round!

It's been 26 years since I last played golf but Dobson Ranch Mac the return a great experience even thou my game still vacuums.

Staff was great Gunner is awesome and what the can you far out was fun.

The Grounds Super had the maintenance team scalp the winter grass in May as part of the transition to summer grass. Unfortunately, it decimated the fairways. By the time the grounds crew got their mower blades adjusted the damage was too severe and terminal.

Lots of crab grass and weeds have found their way into the fairways, and there are still lots of mud spots visible.

If you are walking with a cart as we do regularly, be prepared for mud caked wheels, and 30 minutes of cleanup at the end of your round.

While all Arizona courses are challenged with the transition from winter over seeding to summer grass, Dobson compounded its problems by scalping its fairways. They are dumping an inordinate amount of water on the fairways to try and make up for it. It’s going to take a good two weeks of non-play, for what little grass is left to come back.

Slow rate of play. Holes near the driving range have countless balls scattered across the course. Driving range is definitely more quality than the course itself.

The cart path only on Monday and Tuesday seems to be having a positive result on the fairway. They are starting to improve a little over what it has been.

We were paired with two great guys that played ready golf like we did.

Dobson has definitely lost its appeal. Course was in HORRIBLE condition. dirt fairways, patchy weedy grass everywhere else. I would advise Dobson to invest more in conditions of the course rather than the driving range, sound system and mini putt putt course.

Cons - little to no grass on the fairways. More green in the rough which was a combination of Bermuda and Crabgrass. All the pins were like 2 steps from the edge of the green either in the very front or back, with a couple in the middle but close to the edge.

Pro's - there was a Marshal keeping the players moving. Beverage cart had Coca Cola and not Pepsi!

Condition is terrible. Pace of play was terrible. Course was cart path only.. for what?! They are doing no work on the fairways or the greens, what are they trying to salvage? Came to play as a single, got to the first tee box, was told to wait 5 minutes until a group of 3 teenagers could join. Why not just send me off solo? It was 10am on a Monday, not very busy. It was their first time playing so they were very slow, separated from them after hole 2. Got to hole 6 and was told they do not allow people to play through on this course due to "pace of play" issues. First course I have ever heard this from. There are plenty of other courses in the area that would be a much better value. You couldn't pay me to play this course again.

Was cart path only Monday. I didn't mind, I was told it was to allow the grass an opportunity to grow. Since there is hardly any grass in the fairways now I hope this effort produces results. Another note. Planting a tree practically in front of the forward tee box on hole number two is in my opinion cruel and stupid.
