Great value

The greens and tees are very nice. Fairways are spotty on some holes but the rough is mostly bear.
But overall, the staff is friendly and the value, (I paid just $48 with a cart) was fantastic.

Lots of Golfers

Golf was good but we ran into some golfers who had forgotten their golf etiquette.

Highly recommended for all golfers

Great course and extremely friendly staff. 3 par 5s on front and 3 par 3s on back make course unique. TDobson Ranch has been upgraded in the last 5 years w each year adding something to help make experience better and better. DR Can get very crowed during peak season so play can be a bit slow but for price and condition one of best courses to play. Lined w trees throughout; course can be a challenge if your not hitting fairways. Greens are tough so want be pin high not ball high. Course always in good condition and fun to play especially when pace of play is going smoothly.

More Watering/Turn down the Loudspeakers

This is a challenging course and they do a good job of trying to keep everybody on pace. The course does get a lot of use. I understand that, however, I think they could do a much better job working on the hard pan and brown areas around the course. Either it needs more watering or some major rototilling from time to time. They should also rope off some of the brown areas and try to fertilize the grass there. Another annoying thing is the blasting Gen Z Pop on the loud speakers during work days when almost everyone on the range is either retired or 40 and over.. Not a good match.
