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.

I find the course very boring. Range balls all over the place. Price is outrageous for such a low quality course.

First Time Playing

Exceeded expectations!

My goal was to find a round of golf under $100.00 in phoenix/scottsdale area. Social media led me to Dobson Ranch. I wasn’t expecting much from the golf course. I thought the focus was on driving range tech and “Topgolf ish” driving range games. Turns out that was just an added benefit to Dobson Ranch! The entire staff was fantastic especially the starter! She was Organized and positive made a fun start to the round. The condition of the greens was surprisingly good! Green speed was great. Undulations made them very interesting! All shortgrass areas were great!

The course need to have a set of senior tees with the front playing at all most 3400 yards and total for 18 holes 6181 it makes it hard for a player in there 70s to shoot par. It would also speed up the game
