Average course

Was 8 years since playing Dobson ranch, hole one TBox a slice can hit groups coming up hole nine. Hole nine could get hit by driving range balls,no highscreen on either side. Hole 10 at T box and downfair way,range balls all over fairway,no high screens ,very dangerous up nine,down hole 10. Beside that fairlychallenging. Greens 7 out of ten. $75 is enough for this course. But very good staff today,older lady starter ,very friendly & professional.. Be a while before coming back.

Driving range

Hole number 10 is right next to the driving range . There is no net . Trying to find your ball on the fairway with 100 range balls everywhere makes the hole pretty pointless to play

Great Experience

From Mark, who picks up our bags to Jeremy, who checks us in and the Ranger, who keeps us moving, playing Dobson Ranch is always a pleasure. Plus, we have a group of 24 and we actually are made to feel that our business is important to them. Out of all the courses we play in the valley, Dobson Ranch ranks way up on top as far as good places to play and friendly staff. Thanks guys.

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.
