Was always happy until today

I’ve played Trilogy Power Ranch several times throughout the years. Today was the day we’re it was not up to snuff. Green disease on several holes made it unappealing. I get it things like this happen but you would think after years of doing this you would find a way to prevent it. Anyways, the course was very vet in a lot of spots (I played horribly and found all those spots). The bunkers were good except a few on the back that were completely muddy. I will go back in the future and check it out again but if they don’t get it under control wet wise then I’ll spend my money somewhere else.

Standing water?!

I usually play this track, mostly because it has open tee times. The course is usually also in decent to great shape. Today was not that way. There was quite a bit of standing water throughout the fairways. Greens rolled pretty true. There were some bunkers with vegetation in them which is an oddity. Didn’t see the beverage cart until the 16th. I don’t know what was going on since it’s usually a good place to play.

Amazing Course

I’m here on vacation with my wife to visit her friend. Friends husband told me to go here and I was not disappointed. The scenery was just amazing and the course was in top shape for coming out of overseed 3 weeks prior. It’s a shame the fire ruined some of the vineyards or I’m sure it would’ve been breathtaking. I was very happy with the greens even as soft as they were, they rolled true and somewhat fast. Fairways were outstanding and rough was manageable. I would highly suggest trekking out to play this course.

Should’ve waited a week longer

Should’ve waited a little longer to play here. The course just came out of overseed. The fairways were in decent shape but a little patchy and muddy. The greens were very patchy, bumpy and not rolling so true. I think in a week it’ll be better but who knows.

Good old Dobson

I grew up playing this course. Being 36 now and playing it for over 20 years I’ve seen it in all sorts of conditions. Let me tell you I have never seen it better. Yeah it was little rough here and there but this new Management group running has there crap together. Staff is friendlier, course conditions have Improved tenfold, and the fact the keep people on pace is a godsend. No more 6+ hour rounds. If they keep this up I might just make it my home course and play whenever I get the chance. I’m playing again there soon and I hope others will. Cheers!

Wow...

Just wow. This course was worth the hour drive from my house. The greens were fast but true. Fairways excellent shape. Very challenging course but I think it suits all types of abilities. I love courses that offer a combo tee box. We played black/gold which came out to about 6800 yards give or take. Will come back again.

Dobson Ranch Golf Course

Dobson Ranch is...

A great beginners course and even good for the intermediate golfer. I grew up playing here and still enjoy playing here. The management has changed hands but looks like they have done a better job of not stacking the course full that it turns into a 6 hour round (yikes I know). They recently aerated the fairways and greens and started replacing the trees that were lost in the monsoon storm last season. The greens were soft but rolled well and even with slightly patchy fairways it was in good shape. I recommend playing here at least once to judge for yourself.

Great shape for...

Such an old course. Arizona’s first grass course and it’s held up to the test of time. When I first played there it was rough. After they sank money into the course it became better. The only issue I had today was that the greens seemed like they had been aerated but with a different punch. Almost diamond shaped but still ran mostly smooth. It was a good time and will play there again soon.

I always hope...

That whenever I decide to play here that it will be in better condition then the last. Alas that wasn’t the case. Most of the other courses around the area already did the aeration of fairways. They were in the process of doing it as we played. Had to wait on one hole while waiting for the guy to notice us on the tee. This caused the fairways to be muddied and uneven. The saving grace was that the greens were actually really good. Not too soft nor firm. Rolled really well. The tee boxes were in great shape as well. The 2 free beverages was a nice touch and the girl in the restaurant/bar area was really attractive (eye candy is always a plus). If and when I do decide to play there again I hope it’ll be in better overall shape.

Longbow is always a fun challenge

I’ve played here several times and always enjoy the challenges this course provides. Tons of risk reward shots. Would’ve been nice to know on GolfNow that they were aerating like they didn’t when I look up Ken MacDonald. The greens still rolled really well considering. Anyways I love Longbow and it’s always going to be one of my favorites.

Good old Dobson Ranch

For those of you who have played here you know how Dobson Ranch is. For those who haven’t I’m about to tell ya. Dobson Ranch is a blast when it’s not overbooked. Luckily my round today was on course for a good pace of play. The ranger made quite a few rounds around the course which is kind of annoying but he’s there for a reason. The greens were sorta fast and pin placements were devilish. The fairways were rough due to them aerating the bad spots out but was still playable. The kid behind the counter was slow. Dobson Ranch is a fun course to play don’t get me wrong. I grew up playing this course and know it like the back of my hand. I suggest at least trying it.

Would’ve been nice to know...

That they were already punching the greens for summer Bermuda. Other than that it was in good shape fairway and rough wise. Could use a little better weed management but overall was good.

Lone Tree is amazing!

I love this course. They always keep it well maintained. The fairways were great and provided the right amount of roll. The greens were fast and well manicured. Overall pace of play was good.

It was just ok....

I've played here before but was sadden by the disarray of the course. The greens were fast but riddled with divot marks that I tried my best to repair. The rough was non-existent. It was dead grass and dirt. Most of the courses during the winter do a good job on the fairways and the rough is still playable. Not this course. I'd go back and give it another chance in a month or 2 to see if it's changed. also it seemed like a group was teeing off every 5 minutes and not the average of 8 minutes causing a back up.

Wonderful course but...

This was the second time I played there. The first time was a great round but this second round I went back and I was disappointed by not being told that they were punching the greens before we got the first hole they were doing. Other than that it was a great experience for my friend and I. Pace of play was great because a lot of people don't play during the week in the summer because of the heat. Greens were fast and even the punches greens still rolled great which was surprising. I'd go back and play since I shot my lowest round there and really enjoyed the layout.
