Greens were in good shape, fairways were average but thin in a lot of areas. Great staff and driving range is good also. They need at least 1 beverage cart on both nines when its summer. More water on the holes would be good too.

Great value, very friendly staff!

Staff met me in P/L and took my bags to my cart. Rick was super friendly while actively managing pace of play. Fairways and greens were well kept and receptive. I have never had a bad experience at Dobson Ranch. I recommend getting the Ranch card for discounts and Top Tracer style range play. I should mention the carts come with bluetooth speakers and the restaurant will deliver direct to your cart anywhere on the course. Come check out this Gem!!!!

Awesome course

Only thing i don’t like about the course is the 3 holes next to the driving range, hard to find your ball with a bunch of range balls on the course. Other than that its a nice course. Plenty of shaded spots too for summer play.

Greens and tee boxes good shape

As the title states both the greens and the tee boxes were in good condition. However, the condition of the majority of the fairways was absolutely horrible. A lot of it was dirt or mud and what was grass was actually more of a crab grass. Hard to get a good lie.

Best value in Valley

Dobson Ranch Golf Course is one of the true gems of the East Valley. From the moment you pull into the parking lot, the atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and geared toward golfers of all skill levels. The staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and makes you feel like a regular—even if it’s your first time.

The course itself is well-maintained, with lush fairways and greens that roll true. It’s challenging enough to keep seasoned players sharp but still approachable for beginners. The layout offers a nice mix of open holes and tree-lined fairways, with enough variety to keep things interesting throughout the round.

One of Dobson Ranch’s standout features is its practice facility. The driving range has Toptracer technology, which adds a fun, interactive layer to practice sessions or casual hangouts with friends. The putting and chipping greens are also in great condition, making it a great place to work on your short game.

The clubhouse and patio areas are perfect for grabbing a bite or a drink after the round. The vibe is laid-back, the food is solid, and the prices are fair. Plus, the location in Mesa makes it easy to get to from anywhere in the Phoenix area.

Whether you’re looking for a casual round, a practice session, or a social golf outing, Dobson Ranch delivers. It’s one of those courses you find yourself coming back to regularly because it checks all the boxes: friendly people, great value, and a course that’s just plain fun to play.

Donny On A Cloudy Day

It is always great to play at Dobson! Chill atmosphere and great golf amenities. It was a cloudy day and everyone was out enjoying the course so no fault in that. They keep this course in the best shape they can with the Arizona summer. Love it there!

The fun game of is it on dirt, grass or weeds

This course was, and has the future potential to be a great muni, but the current conditions really hold it back. Large patches of crabgrass and bare spots make many fairways and rough areas feel purposefully neglected. Several bunkers are basically just hard-packed dirt.. barely any sand to speak of. The overall lack of care in turf maintenance takes away from the experience. With a change in leadership and some investment in the course upkeep instead of the amenities, this could be a much more enjoyable round. It seems like every time they upgrade the driving range, the course gets neglected more.
