Another great round at Dobson Ranch! This course is just really enjoyable to play. Hard to get a tee time lately but a great experience and great conditions every time we go out.

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

Ranch life

Course is good…long enough, well cards for and greens that are challenging.

Driving range is impressive. Has grown to be almost its own entity. Dobson: your ratefor balls is re-dick-u-lous.

Best thing about the ranch: their staff - like Grace- create a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

9th and 10th holes

The course was nice except for the 9th and 10th holes. There were so many range balls on the fairways that 3 of our foursome lost a ball. On the 10th tee we were sitting by the white tee box when a ball from the range narrowly missed hitting us in our cart. Those two holes are really dangerous. It seems like there could be something done to help the situation! I will probably not play there again because of that.

Great experience

All around great staff from the pro shop to the starter and the restaurant staff

Only complain is the pace of play especially late afternoon. Ranger should be doing

Better job to prevent long waiting times on

The box slow player should be told to pick up and skip a hole or 2

Venerable course still a great value

In this age of stupid expensive Phoenix area golf courses, a few are still bargains. Dobson Ranch has Some of the most interesting green complexes in the valley and, other than the typical issue of golfers not fixing ball marks, they ran true and fast. Pace of play was a slight for a few holes, but sped up. Played in 4hrs 15 minutes. Not bad for a busy muni. One of the best values in Phoenix
