Former Country Club Adjacent course turns ’modern’

I’ve played this course on and off for 10+ years. The ambiance is certainly…different. From grabbing your clubs out of your car to walking into the pro shop, there’s upbeat pool party music. Everywhere you turn there’s offers to save via the Ranch card, TopTracer range ads (cool features but becoming more of a TopGolf than driving range for pre-round warm up, about 10-15 slots are first come first serve) and even an on-site food truck ready to quench your thirsty Thursday. 3~4 practice greens of various sizes. The starter was handed a difficult hand with people showing up late but man was he awfully rude for no reason. And with his comment “I’ve been doing this for 4 years, I know what I’m doing” I can assure you, he didn’t. I was a single who got paired with a 4some. Yes, he made up play as a 5. We kept pace for awhile except on the 10th hole which is adjacent to the range and makes you feel like a range target with how many balls fly into the fairway. By the 11th we were told to pick it up. We did. All good. But we’re a 5some keeping up with a 3some in front. Course conditions were fine, they’ve definitely been better. Staff is fine, has been better. Pace of play was 4 hours and just over 20 minutes, again…has been better. Their money maker seems to be the toptracer attraction. If you’re a mesa resident, worth the money. If not…probably not.

Over hyped

I feel as if this course is over-hyped, they always try to sell you when you are on property, went to a 2:30 pm tee time and they delayed us more than 15 minutes and then had no marshals out controlling pace of play. Our round took almost 5 hours and we didn’t even get all 18 in. They say the course is in “great condition” but the greens are so beat up and all down the right side of one fairway is a huge puddle that has been there every time I’ve played. They also told me that when my fourth bailed that it was no problem, cause our fourth was sick and told us after the time to cancel, and still ended up charging us. Don’t buy into the hype.

Different Atmosphere

Great course, great staff, and a cool vibe with the bar and driving range with Tace System. Looks like a fun time even in the evenings with yard games and music.

Friendliest Course in Arizona

Dobson Ranch lives up to its advertising as "the friendliest course in Arizona". Staff were very friendly and helpful - from the person at the sign-in desk, to the card attendant, to the starter. The ranger carried it one step further, delivering chocolate chip cookies on the fairway to #10. The course was in the best shape of the three courses we played. It may not be challenging for low handicappers, but I would go back.

Yes certainly.

10th hole rather daunting. Our foursome almost got hit by 5 stray balls from the practice range, and NO FORE called out! And that wasn’t the first time playing at Dobson!!!
