Not bad

Overall pleased with the round. Obvious summer conditions with some burnt/dead spots in the fairways and on the greens as to be expected but it’s about on par for what I’d expect for the price point. Staff was friendly as always and pace of play was good, less then 4:15 for 18 holes.

No discount

I even called before booking to understand how to get the Maricopa county discount. They failed to mention you have to be a Mesa resident. Guess they count on people making that mistake. Extra $40 for them. Disappointing

The round was booked under Maricopa County Resident which was supposedly $10 off. Mesa Residents get an additional $10 off on top of that. But when I showed up to pay for the round they claimed I needed to be a Mesa Resident or have the Ranch card. Why have a Maricopa County Resident discount when they decline you in the pro shop??? Had to pay full price even though I booked under Maricopa Resident.

Really good time out there

My boys and I got the 5:09 tee time, and it was beautiful tbh. People in the pro shop were nice, starter was laid back and cool, cart girl drove by a couple times and was really nice too.

Overall really fun outing. We will be going out again soon.

Slow play and bad course conditions

First off I love this golf course and I call it home.

I expect slow play on the weekends and even on Fridays bit not on a Monday. There are no marshalls on the course and even when they are they are not encouraging faster play.

The course is in the worst shape I have seen in the last 3 years so not sure what has changed but it’s not good .

I am writing this review so hopefully the golf course gets the attention it needs.

The staff is friendly but they’re focused on the driving range customers more than the golf course as the range generates far more money than the green fees.

Great Local Course

This Course Is Perfect For Me And My Game.

It Offers Me A Chance To Play Eighteen Holes ( Using Every Club In My Bag) For A Good Price And I Don’t Have To Drive Across The Valley To Do It. The Staff

Is Gracious And Enguaging W/ A Comfortable Facility To Enjoy After The Round.Super Job.

Greedy Staff/Course

I’ve golfed over 1000+ rounds and anytime there is a logical reason for a golfer not making it, the staff members do not charge for the no show. We had two tee times booked. Our 8 person couldn’t show up because someone crashed into his garage. Dobson course responded, “that’s tough, still need to pay”. Very unfriendly.

Great course.

For the money it's one of the best courses you can play. Mesa resident's pay $24.00 for 18 with a cart in summer. Peak season $64.00. The course is challenging and always in great shape. I play there every chance I get. Oh, and the staff, top notch.

First Time Playing

Strange experience....

Best part about this experience: the driving range.

Full stop from there.. No clear signage or employee to point you to carts, 1st tee box, or starter between the carts and found t box. We teed off around our t time with no one on the starting hole but us.

The marshal.then approached us asking why we didn't check in before teeing off. As I mentioned there was no one to be found. Not a very friendly experience.

Then we had a 2nd Marshal ask.us when we started about 2 holes later as we didn't get recorded with the starter who we talked to 2 holes back.

Just weird all the way around.....

Go for the Range-Not the Golf

If you want an outdoor fun time-their driving range is top notch. And it shows where they put their money-because it is not in the golf course.

The fairways were patchy and barren in parts. The greens were in moderate condition. This used to be top tier golf course, but now it is just a top notch Driving Range.
