Outstanding golf and restaurant facility

Our small golf group of 12-16 players played weekly at Dobson Ranch through the winter/early spring. The course is always well maintained with an outstanding driving range and practice facility. Matthew, Jeremy and the Dobson Ranch staff went out of their way to make our weekly outing an enjoyable golfing experience. Carl, the starter, whose assistance and friendliness always started our rounds on a timely and positive note. By ensuring our rounds started at the designated times, and with 9-minute tee time intervals, Dobson Ranch avoids the slow pace of play many valley courses face, especially in winter months. Finally, a salute to Dobson Ranch bar and grille. Friendly staff and reasonably priced food/beverages make this a really nice place to settle up at the end of the round.

Course was moderately challenging

Course is moderately challenging and at $64 it was value for the money.

The course should put up fencing around the golf range. Hole number 9 and 10 are very challenging to identify your ball on the fairway and it is very frustrating to slow down play when you know your ball should be in an OK position.

Paradigm Golf Group

Very odd experience here, and likely will not be returning. Marketing of this place is very young, hip, and inviting (which sold us). While the range may mirror this vibe— the rest of the experience does not. Upon arriving staff was cold, unfriendly, and almost nonexistent. We were on pace of play to the minute, and staff yelled at us for being behind pace and that there was a tournament behind us— and later circled back and acknowledged but did not apologize for the fact that we were in fact on pace— however the people in front of us were playing faster. They seem disjointed, unorganized, and truly not worth the cost associated.

This is a muni course?

Played here for the first time and came away very impressed. Course was in excellent condition. Facilities are likewise top notch. Shade near the practice range, tables and chairs, food truck- just because a municipal course is a municipal course shouldn't mean it's poorly run. Tucson could learn a thing or two!.
