Great short course for practicing ones short game. Par 63, so there are some par 4’s and two par 5’s, with the majority of them being par 3’s. Just because the course is shorter than normal, there are still many challenging shots. The course is well maintained with nicely groomed fairways and greens faster than most municipals courses. The course is built on a hill side and offers some great views of the Tri-Valley area. Sometimes the wind can pickup in the afternoon adding an additional challenge. Look for internet deals before calling for a tee time. Golf carts are included in the price. One can enjoy a round of golf in less than three hours.

An immaculate, beautifully maintained short 18 hole course. Not easy, but always enjoyable. Look for discounts as Dublin Ranch is not cheap for a 3 hour round.

This is a golf course review.Very good deals to be had during the week. GolfNow was $38 for 18 holes, with cart, on a Wednesday with an 8:30 t-time.This course is always immaculate, and also has great views of the San Ramon Valley, but has no driving range.Although it is a 'short course', par 61, with 2 5s, 4 4s, and 12 3s, it is not and easy round, and one or two holes will catch you by surprise.If you're looking for a quick round, on a well-groomed course - Dublin Ranch is a good choice.

Good course, 2 par 5's, 4 par 4's, rest are par 3's. Excellent food, staff is very courteous. Great bargain for the money.

We originally chose Dublin Ranch fourteen months ahead of our wedding date for two main reasons: the view and the day-of coordinator Catherine. The setting was nice and the price seemed fair. Things began to unravel when we were notified by Catherine that she was no longer working for Dublin Ranch approximately 6 months prior to our wedding date. It was at this time that the Director of Operations, Robert Yee notified us that he would become our primary contact and that they were working quickly on hiring another venue coordinator. A few months later, we visited the venue for our food tasting with several of our friends and family. The experience was terrible as the food was tasteless and the meat was very tough. It was at this time that Robert notified us that their tasting food is leftovers from previous events that are frozen when the event is over. We were less than pleased, especially when he also informed us that they still had not hired a wedding coordinator (which was included as part of our wedding package) and we were only 90 days away from the wedding. At this time, we decided that it would be wise to pay the extra money and hire our own day of coordinator since the venue was obviously not going to take the initiative to do so, and also considering that Robert was less than cordial throughout the process. The day of our event we noticed right away that things were not in order. Our coordinator was rushing around trying to complete several set-up tasks by herself and when we asked the Dublin Ranch staff to help her, they simply ignored us. We also asked that the doors to the reception hall be closed for set-up but they were not and so guests entered into the room upon arrival, giving the appearance of poor planning. Our guest book/gift table was not completely set-up until 10 minutes before our ceremony was set to begin, and that had to be done by my mother-in-law. Unacceptable. We were also promised that golf carts would not be allowed up the 18th green during our ceremony. FALSE. Many guests commented and took pictures of golf carts and golfers playing less than 100 yards behind the alter as the ceremony took place. Included in our wedding package was passed wine, however no wine was served and so our guests had the pleasure of toasting with water. The salad we originally ordered was not the one served to our guests. We had approximately 30 servings of wedding cake that are unaccounted for, even though Robert claims it was not discarded. The chicken plates that were served to our guests were half the size of a typical chicken breast, noticeably smaller than the one presented to us at our tasting. My 17 year old brother was not properly identified at the bar and served an alcoholic beverage TWICE. We have since reported this to the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, especially since the venue denies the matter however the bartended openly admitted he served him. To make matters worse, when these issues were brought to the attention of Robert and Dublin Ranch they essentially denied all accusations and refused to agree to any kind of resolution. As understandable as it is to make mistakes, it makes matters worse when there is absolutely no effort to ensure that your clients are happy with the product/service they received. We would NEVER recommend this venue for your wedding due to the blatant lack of professionalism and complete incompetence demonstrated by the staff alone.

DO NOT HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE!!!! If you read through the reviews below you will see comment after comment about bad weddings here. Do not trust Robert, the event manager. The General Manager is Daniel Ttaf, some Asian guy that is never there and never returns my calls. Robert broke so many promises. Oh, and they served a minor Alcohol not once but twice. Do yourself a big favor and have your wedding somewhere else. I would give it zero stars, but it won't let me. So give it one star for the view. The rest isn't worth it. Trust me.

I couldn't agree more with the uncle's review of the poor set up and service. we were there and expected to see the bar tender that helped us. As soon as the banquet was to begin, the manager makes the experienced bartender, Kim, leave. Replaces her with someone that didn't want to be there. Not enough experienced staff. We thought that maybe this was s one time issue but found out that the manager does this all the time. This place could be great. Location, location, location.... But management is killing the business.

very well-kept 18 hole course in the Dublin hills, basically overlooking highway 580. it's a par 70 with only 2 fairly long par fives. there is a lot of ups and downs and a few undulating fairways that are indeed challenging. You'll definately need a cart to play here, unless you really love walking up and down. the course has very little out of bounds territory as it's built amidst a bunch of newer houses. this is exactly the type of course i like to play, not too long, but long enough. You can play here during the week for $35 or less in the afternoon, a few bucks more on the weekends and in the mornings.

this course is easy to get to and the course is not long but it is challenging. love the area and the view is nice too. they keep the greens in great shape and it is never packed. over and over again the service is good including the clubhouse for any meal.

Cool golf course. Well manicured and will help tune up your short game and par 3 performance as it has 10 of them but good test from the back tees.

This has to be the best par 63 you will ever play. Plenty of challenge. The course is in fantastic shape. Don't skip it just because it is not a par 72. I normally don't like courses built in a neighborhood, but the houses are well out of play (OK, some of us could hit any house).

This course will challenge even some of the best players. It presents the player with a wide variety of short to medium iron shots on most every hole. If you decide to play in the summer afternoon, prepare to keep the ball down into the wind. Lots of critical distance judgment calls here... bring your GPS if you have one.

The course is too short for the money they want you to pay. A very uninviting grill.

This is in regards to having a wedding and reception at the Dublin Ranch Golf Course. I am a uncle of the groom and not involved directly with the wedding, but here are my observations as a outsider.I would think they have done this before, I mean they have quite a few weddings at the Dublin Ranch, don't they? Yet, we are there for a 10AM wedding, after the guests are allowed to go to the outdoor area to go to where all the little white chairs are to sit for the cermoney, well they are all wet (not damp). Guests turn into a large confusion of wanting to sit but can't. I walked back to the area the reception will be held to let them know about all the wet seats a get a snapped yell, which I assumed meant they knew about it. A few minutes later 2 people come out with 2 little hand towels to wipe down 200 seats. Quite comical. The setup of flower vases on little stands along the asile looked nice, until someone moved their chair. Turned out the flower vases were not secured to the little stands, but the stands that were along the aisle were intertwined with the chairs. Chair moving = flower vase fallilng.Reception, it seemed that every person there (excepting one) surely did not want to be working that day. Attitude issue for sure. Food, was a buffett and they let the food run out of the chafing dishes. Not near the end of the serving process, but after the first two or 3 tables went through, everybody backed up because they did not update or keep up on the demand (even though the Dublin Ranch were the ones releasing tables one at a time to get food). People got tired of waiting so they ended up getting part of their meal going back to sit down, then going back for the part they missed. Made for more confusion.Some of the guests were in the outdoor patio area, they seemed as if they were not in the celebration at all. (Hint, make sure all your guests can sit inside). Outside they were serving in paper Pepsi cups? None on the inside for sure.Not sure how closely they schedule weddings together, but the reception was scheduled till 4PM. By 3:20 they were allowing the next party to walk through the entrance area bring in all of the next parties personal touches. Wouldn't be bad except for the fact, this is where current wedding party people congregate to talk since the music is loud. I would think the Dublin Ranch would help redirect these people through another entrance.For the money put out for this wedding I would have expected a better end product.
