Like this course
We always enjoy playing at Dobson Ranch and will play again. The staff is fantastic and for this time of year, was in fairly good shape.
Great Experience
First time playing the course. The staff and facilities are great. The course layout is good, the conditions were okay for summer time. Tee boxes and greens were in great shape. Greens were a little slow but rolled true. Cannot wait to come back later this year to play. Well worth the money.
Poor
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.
This course has great features
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!
Long time no Golf
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.
Fairways Are Challenged & Awful
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.
Getting Better
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.
Love to golf
We were paired with two great guys that played ready golf like we did.
stay away for the time being
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.
Dobson Ranch
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!
