Best staff - course conditions are moderate

You can’t find a better group of people than those running Dobson Ranch. That said, the fairways need a little work, the greens are pretty good but the fairways can have a lot of bald spots and the areas around the greens are very soft with sparse grass as well.

Good course for the value

I played here once about 17 years ago and then came back to play regularly since 2022. The facility upgrade is nice to see. The course itself is good for average golfer like myself.

It was a real mess. Somehow Dobson Ranch hooked us up with two young amateurs, Mom and two coaches the two amateurs according to their coaches approval hit many balls on every whole beyond their only ball. I have no idea why Dobson Ranch would allow this to go forward. The next issue was we were told it would be $128 which is what I was told on the website end up being $160 not sure why

Course Marshall

The staff at the entrance was great. The cart gal was great. The course Marshal was a p kept on constantly pushing us with no one behind us understand pace of play but when no one was behind us in being pushed resulted in a bad experience. With that being said, we will not be visiting Dobson ranch again.

Mesa Course

It's a shame they didn't use some money to upgrade the golf course. The course looks tired! Spent lots of cash to redo the driving range and now have to hit off of mats.
