Heads up on course maintenance would have been nice.

I understand it’s summer in the desert, and expectations for corse quality should be tempered. However, notice that every fairway and green has been aerated and course conditions are subpar is the proper response. Maybe a free beverage or free bucket added for the not great Plato g conditions?

Some thoughts

For those of us that do not use range finders. Having 150 and 100 yard indicators is important. Also inexpensive, it will speed up play and significantly enhance the experience.

This is crucial. Please put nets along thee driving range holes 9 and 10. This has become dangerous. My. Cart was hit twice and I was hit twice.

Thankyou.

Summer conditions

So, summer conditions. The pro shop needs to pay better attention to timing. We got told to hurry up because they saw a slight back up at the 10th tee. We finished in 3.5 hrs. Maybe listen to the ranger when he says there's no backup.

Staff was awesome as always

Dobson in June

Course is not in good shape; tees, fairways and traps are in poor condition. I’ve played this course for over 40 years and it is in the worst condition it has ever been in. Will be awhile before I return.

Good Value

Dobson Ranch is as solid is you get for a course in this price range. Decent variety of shots to hit, good greens with some tricky putts, and it’s always in pretty good shape. Very flat. Some trees. Some water. Hard to beat the value you get, especially in the peak season, especially if you’re local.
