Dobson Ranch Golf Course

Course was very wet and muddy and there are not any ball washers anywhere.

I love this course. Every year when I visit my sister in AZ. We hit this course. Love the speakers, food and beverage aspects as well. See you next year..

Dobson ranch is very nice. Practice areas and the 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.

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.

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.

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.

The course was not in great shape, fairways and bunkers were a little ragged.

I have played with many different people at this course. Dobson Ranch is a gem from the front desk to the golf course to clubhouse. Great people and service is top notch.

Practice facility here is next to none. Lights at night on driving range and putter green. Spend a lot of quality time here.

Thanks Dobson Ranch for your everyday hospitality.

First time playing the course and felt compelled to play here due to their attractive rates compared to the crazy exorbitant rates at most other courses in the Valley that have risen considerably in the past few years. I arrived as a single an hour before my round, paid my green fee, and the pro shop attendant who handled my transaction said nothing other than to enjoy my round. I went to the putting green near the first tee then went to the first tee 10 minutes before my assigned tee time. A starter finally showed up to say the course had decided to send my assigned group off 30 minutes earlier than my assigned tee time, and NO ONE told me this. I was in shock, in nearly 50 years as an avid golfer I had never experienced this. The starter said he would “do me a favor” and give me a ride to the group I was assigned to, who by then were on the 3rd green. I was not offered a refund, in addition having no chance of completing my round because the course was full. Very disappointing to say the least. Even though I liked the course and the vibe of the place, I will be very very hesitant to play here again. Caveat emptor!

There used to be 16 players in our group that would play twice a week here at Dobson Ranch. But because of the continued increase in green fees four of them no longer play at all. And most are only playing once a week.

I’m hoping the golf industry is pricing themselves out of business. There are numerous other things to do that don’t cost as much.

Even the Canadians can’t afford to play much.

For those of us that support the golf course year round we get charged a extra fee for having set tee times where they should be giving us a break for being here all the time.

Course was fine but there is better value at many other courses.

Our Golf League, fountain, Hills, breakfast, and Golf League, has several choices to play on Tuesdays. We play 52 weeks a year, and I must say that the treatment that we receive from Dobson Ranch is at the top of the list. From Mark who takes the bags in to Jeremy who checks everybody in The group could not be more pleasant to our golfers. Forget the fact that it’s a nice course to play our guys even love the Ranger, who moves us along at a steady pace. Thanks to all the staff at Dobson for making our choice a good one, Bart Zeller .
