Good Day

We had a very nice time playing this course. Paired with another couple who were a lot of fun to golf with. Only issue we had was on one of the par 3's it wasn't clear where the hole was. All four of aimed for the wrong par 3 hole. Oh well, none of us had played before.

Fun course, loud atmosphere

Used to enjoy this course more 5+ years ago when it was just a regular course. Now with the music going all day around the club house wasn’t a big fan of the atmosphere. Pace was also pretty slow on the day we played, 5 hours to finish 18

Great Golf Staff

The weather was terrible, rainy and cold. We had a group of 13 golfers from Nashville, TN. The weather made it impossible to finish our round and because we could not cash in a "rain check" the staff gave us a "Pro Shop Credit". We will play the course again next time we are in Phoenix.

Very long pace of play

My grandson and I played Dobson Ranch on Friday, February 9th. We could not get on the range as it was so full. We had wanted to play 18 holes but could not finish due to darkness and the pace of play was 2 hours 50 minutes for the front nine. We could not finish because of darkness. Also, we found out that there was a bachelor party going on and we found multiple 5 somes playing. I called the clubhouse to see if they had a ranger and they said they weren't sure where he was. We never saw a ranger on the course.

Driving range needs nets by holes 9 & 10

I say it every time, the driving range needs nets to block errant balls from going on the 9th and 10th fairways. All of that money spent to swap out the tracing technology but no nets? Protect the golfers on the course, and put up nets. As always, friendly staff and great course.

Maybe a roof?

Course was great except for the 2” of rain overnight. Was a bit damp. Still had a blast with my sons.

Golfing in the rain

Loved the course

Comments

No yardage markers approaching greens

No map on score cards

Fairways nice

Blue tooth speakers on carts nice but could have used the wind shields

No towels handed out for wet carts

Would recommend!

Perfect weather

The staff on this course is incredible. I had booked the wrong course, but Dobson Ranch accommodated my mistake and allowed our foursome to play (I booked Robson Ranch by mistake). The starter insures that everyone tee's off with enough space to ensure there are no delays during your round. This place is great! Incredible driving range, places to get lessons, etc. I highly recommend playing this course; good shape, nice greens & fairways, and reasonably priced! A++++ for all the staff who work there!

Great staff, pace could have been better

Only reason not 5 stars was pace of play. I understand they can’t control the pace of golfers but apparently there was a tournament the day I booked a tee time. Scheduled start of 2:18 and didn’t tee off until about 2:40. Front 9 took over 2 hours. Unfortunately only got to play 14 before it got too dark. Other than that, staff is extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. Course is well set up and fun to play. Heads up, if you book a weekend tee time and want to hit the range beforehand, show up EARLY! The top tracer range fills up quick. Overall great course experience and I will be back!

Put up driving range nets

Dobson is always a good course to play. It’s the home track. My gripe is that they spent money to redo the range with new shot tracing tech, but they still have not put up nets to block range balls from filling up the 9 & 10 fairways. Put up nets.

Driving range fence

The 10th hole needs a fence protecting driving range balls from entering the fairway and protect players
