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.

Great place to play

Dobson Ranch is not like any other Golf Course, they have a light and friendly atmosphere where anyone can come and have fun. The driving range is comparable to Topgolf with state of the art shot tracking and games you can play. The course is in great shape and very challenging. Top that off with top quality food from a top notch chef and all around great staff, this place has it all!

Good course to play

It is good overall. The only issue is the ranch ball everywhere on fairway of hole 10 which makes hard to find your own ball

Good time if you have all day

Course is nice with a good layout. Grounds are just "okay" this time of year as bermuda hasn't fully awakened yet, though there were many dry spots and some tee boxes burned up; greens and bunkers good. Play was very slow and ranger was on course. Lively (or noisy) atmosphere with a lot of focus on the practice area and amenities environment. Carts all have speakers so you can play your tunes on course.

Course condition

I realize course was in transition from winter to summer grass but some tee boxes were all sand no grass. Sand traps were bad.
