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.

Maybe a roof?

Course was great except for the 2” of rain overnight. Was a bit damp. Still had a blast with my sons.

Great staff, pace could have been better

Only reason not 5 stars was pace of play. I understand they can’t control the pace of golfers but apparently there was a tournament the day I booked a tee time. Scheduled start of 2:18 and didn’t tee off until about 2:40. Front 9 took over 2 hours. Unfortunately only got to play 14 before it got too dark. Other than that, staff is extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. Course is well set up and fun to play. Heads up, if you book a weekend tee time and want to hit the range beforehand, show up EARLY! The top tracer range fills up quick. Overall great course experience and I will be back!

Perfect weather

The staff on this course is incredible. I had booked the wrong course, but Dobson Ranch accommodated my mistake and allowed our foursome to play (I booked Robson Ranch by mistake). The starter insures that everyone tee's off with enough space to ensure there are no delays during your round. This place is great! Incredible driving range, places to get lessons, etc. I highly recommend playing this course; good shape, nice greens & fairways, and reasonably priced! A++++ for all the staff who work there!

Driving range fence

The 10th hole needs a fence protecting driving range balls from entering the fairway and protect players

Fun to walk

We were joined by a couple that made the experience well worth the time. I enjoy playing this course because it is fairly challenging and easy to walk.

13 holes took 4 hours before I had to leabe

There was some sort of senior men’s league going on but tee times were sold in between them and the senior men were playing it like the US Open and I only got in 13 holes before I threw in the towel.
