Great public course

Had heard this was one of the best values in this area of town and was not disappointed. The course is in good shape with fast greens. Best part of the experience was the pace of play. The staff here is serious about regulating the movement on the course and even though they were 100% full for the day, we moved along nicely.

Fully recommend.

Great

For the value of money and playing in the middle of winter where most courses in Scottsdale are more than $200, Dobson remains a great value. The course is in decent shape, greens definitely have divot holes from people not repairing pitch marks. I enjoy it for a cheaper round.

Everyone loves Dobson

Dobson is my local course. I’ve played more than 10 rounds and it never disappoints. Fairways are kept clean and the greens always roll pure, which speaks loudly with how much traffic the place gets. Off-course, it’s gotta be the best in the valley for the open public. Putt putt, watering hole, practice facilities, equipment utilities, fun range area (that’s open late), and so much more. Even a basketball hoop for a post round splash. Prices stay in the median of comparable courses but their SmashPass offers some pretty solid deals. Gotta love Dobson.

Charges

I don't think reserving for a friend who doesn't make it should cost me the golf fee. I did have 7 people show up to play. That should be worth something

No Sand in Bunkers

Course was very crowded with a promotional tournament being played during the day. This required that we tee off on the back nine 20 minutes late. Fairways need to be watered more often - lot of bare spots - like hitting off dirt. Sand traps are worthless since there is very little sand (course should take the money they are making off the range and and put some sand in the traps).

I like Dobson Ranch but do not see "value" in playing there in the future unless the course spends some money upgrading the fairways and sand traps

Dobson

Course is in excellent condition, but very disappointed in the prices for drinks. Charging higher prices than top rated courses.
