Dobson Ranch Golf Course is an enjoyable track suitable for all ages and abilities. The course has generous fairways and large greens. There is an abundance of forestry; not only are there trees lining the fairways but they are also situated throughout, making accuracy top priority. There are also water hazards and bunkers to look out for. Dobson Ranch Golf Course has a reputation for being immaculately kept and consistently being in excellent condition. On the premises there is also a convenient lighted driving range as well as other practice facilities. There is also a pro shop that carries a full line of discounted professional golf equipment.

Long day!!!

We waited on every single hole! I've never had a round of golf last so long! Too expensive for an average course!

This is a muni course?

Played here for the first time and came away very impressed. Course was in excellent condition. Facilities are likewise top notch. Shade near the practice range, tables and chairs, food truck- just because a municipal course is a municipal course shouldn't mean it's poorly run. Tucson could learn a thing or two!.

Great Course, No Desert, Challenging Greens

This course is always in great shape, brings out every club in the bag and will make you work to score on the greens. I enjoy not having to deal with a desert landscape, there are quite a few trees, and the layout makes it a very walkable course. The sand is better than most Valley courses and the best deal for residents is the Ranch card. I appreciate the break in price for walking the course, very uncommon currently.

Pace of play is kept up better than most courses, they have a starter and ranger. Plenty of water and restrooms on the course. Cart girl is routinely about and the restaurant and snack shack have something for everyone and every text ordering if need something mid round.

Range is mats only but recently improved the ability to tee drives and having monitors are very convenient. I recommend a yellow or colored ball for holes 9 and 10 with the location so close to the range. I don’t think range nets flanking the sides would take away from the ascetics and would help with the abundance of range balls on the fairways those two holes. That’s my only nit pick. Love this place and hope you do too.

Nice course

Great first time playing the course after taking lessons here. A little slow following people casually walking the course in front of you. Otherwise, was a good afternoon.

Great risk reward

Fun course and in good shape. Practice facility is very good!
Only complaint is hole 10 is like a combat zone! Put a net up or someone is gonna get hurt from driving range proximity.
