Start time and pace of play

I booked a tee time for a good price starting at 2:09. It did not tee off until 2:40 and I was not able to finish the expected 17 to 18 holes. There is no frost delay and I do not understand why they would get so behind. I did not see a single Marshall on the course. I am retired and looking for a golf Marshalls job if you so were hiring.

Really enjoyed the course, staff was great

It rained a bit so there was some wet areas, but overall a really enjoyable course. Staff welcomed me when I arrived and gave me a good idea what to expect on the course. Greens were in really good shape and rolled nicely. Would definitely recommend playing this course. Good value and great driving range.

Golf prices are going up!

Nice course, greens were fast & all good but Dobson pricing is pretty high for a City golf course. $67.12 to WALK on a weekday.

Municipal Golf Course

Overall my experience was okay, but for the purpose of rating the course I need to compare it to other courses available and what I would expect to see when visiting Phoenix. We had a wait at each hole and most of the time the group in front of us was still on the tee box when we arrived. I heard there was a group scramble on the course, if true having it happen anytime with out telling guests is a no-no, having it on the weekend makes it even worse.

Yardage markers were none existent, grass wasn’t cut around them and many of them have faded to the point you couldn’t read them.

Great Atmosphere - Loved it!

Had a great time. Course was in good shape (December). Wasn’t painted grass like I have experienced at other courses in town. The whole staff was very friendly. Rates are perfect. Love the practice areas and hitting bays. I played during the day so I didn’t get to see the evening atmosphere but I imagine it’s fun. Will def try it out on one of my visits. Highly recommend. Will def play there each time we visit the area. Which is like 4-5 times a year.

Def give their tiktok a follow too. They are very good about answering questions and it’s a fun page to watch.

Wouldn’t be a real review without a suggestion. Would love to see ball cleaners on the tee boxes or golf carts. Wet towels dry up fast in Arizona.

Better each year

I moved to Tempe four years ago, and Dobson Ranch has improved each year. It used to be extremely slow with just ok conditions. They changed to 9 min tee times this year, so pace of play has already improved. Greens were smooth and fast. I'll be back.

Snow bird golfer

This is a nice golf complex with many practice opportunities. Pace of play was too slow and no one marshaling it. The fareways are nice and green but the whole course was very wet. Had to wipe mud off the ball on nearly every fareway shot. The fareway grass is not very dense so the ball was always resting the muddy ground. Almost no grass at all in the rough areas. The greens are all in very good shape.
