You need nets on 9 & 10

4/5, one note. Put up nets on 9 & 10. It’s a shame that they upgraded the range instead of putting up nets on the sides to block stray balls from hitting golfers on 9 & 10. Profits over safety I guess? Having the Marshall ride around with a shag bag trying to keep up with the stray range balls doesn’t do much. He’s not going to stay there all day. The Marshall would be better used to speed up the course. Keep golfers safe, put up nets.

Great risk reward

Fun course and in good shape. Practice facility is very good!

Only complaint is hole 10 is like a combat zone! Put a net up or someone is gonna get hurt from driving range proximity.

Exceeded expectations!

My goal was to find a round of golf under $100.00 in phoenix/scottsdale area. Social media led me to Dobson Ranch. I wasn’t expecting much from the golf course. I thought the focus was on driving range tech and “Topgolf ish” driving range games. Turns out that was just an added benefit to Dobson Ranch! The entire staff was fantastic especially the starter! She was Organized and positive made a fun start to the round. The condition of the greens was surprisingly good! Green speed was great. Undulations made them very interesting! All shortgrass areas were great!

Boring

I find the course very boring. Range balls all over the place. Price is outrageous for such a low quality course.

The course need to have a set of senior tees with the front playing at all most 3400 yards and total for 18 holes 6181 it makes it hard for a player in there 70s to shoot par. It would also speed up the game

Dobson Ranch Golf

First time playing, wasn’t sure what to expect after reading some bad reviews. We enjoyed it, pace of play was good, as was the couple of gentlemen that joined us. Bunkers were a bit hard in places but overall a good experience. It is a fairly wide open course & very walkable if you choose.

Improved but bad bunkers

Dobson Ranch has made a lot of changes and the best is with pace of play. In the past a round was close to 5 hours but our recent round was 4 hours and 5 minutes ! The fairways were in great shape. The greens were fast and a real challenge. Holes 9 and 10 had a lot of range balls switch to a non white ball for these holes. The bunkers are horrible ! They are solid dirt with a half an inch of loose dirt on top. You couldn’t do any normal bunker shots. Two of us had a ball go into a green side bunker and the ball bounced out onto the green
