Rating 73.1

Robert Trent Jones II designed the golf course at Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club, creating a championship course to shift gently from open play to intimate foliage along Willow Wash. The golf delivers Southwestern authenticity, with etroglyph-etched boulders marking holes. It differs from the "target" golf courses of Arizona in that it features player-friendly golf, manicuring transition spaces so that golfers face minimal penalty when recovering.

At the Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club, Robert Trent Jones II demands strategic and varied shooting, meaning the round of golf will challenge as well as refresh golfers.

After the round at the Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club, head back to the casual elegance of the clubhouse.

Great way to start off a Friday

The course wasn’t really good condition for the time of year greens potted really well. I really enjoy the ability to play early in the morning and still get a full day of work. I’m trying to sharpen up my game and this is a great way to do it without breaking the bank and playing early enough to not get heated.

Need Water Station!!

👍👍👍👍 = staffs

Condition of the course is great!; from tee boxes to greens!

The pace of play is a little back up for Wednesday afternoon.

Cart girls were there often but still they need to provide water stations or at least throw in a couple more bottle waters.

The layout is boring and pretty much the same thing through out front and back.

Decent value

First time playing. Signed up as a single.

Staff at arrival and pro shop Very Friendly.

Course is flat and fairly wide open. Large greens. For this time of year (summer in AZ) it was in pretty good shape.

Overall, a fair value for what I paid.

DVR

This was the first time that I played there in 10+ years. The course was in good condition. Some dead spots on the greens and fairway. This course IS NOT for beginners. It has a few split fairways and if you miss 5 yards wide off the fairways, your ball will be lost 95% of the time. The clubhouse was really nice and all of the staff were very polite and friendly.

Not much bang for the buck

I had not played Dove Valley in many years. I bought a two person tee time on GolfNow and it was $135 per player. I did not feel that this was worth that much money. The back line was considerably tougher because it was target golf. The round was very slow and pace of play was horrible. At that price, there are many other courses in the valley that would be a much better value.

All gravel sand traps

My only problem is that if you hit into the traps(as I did) be prepared to chip it out like you’re in the desert. All gravel! For the money, I would expect better. Loved the course, fairways and greens.
