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.

Late Tee Time

Late tee times are fine if you don't have inconsiderate people in front of you. We could have finished but as you can guess, 2 men and a women lolly gagged and slowed everyone down. Typical general public.

Really enjoyed it

Heard good reports and I wasn’t disappointed. Back 9 tougher than the front 9. Surprised the slope rating is not higher.

Dove Valley Ranch GC

The course was in excellent shape and the ability to take the cart to the ball helped a lot, especially with my 84-year-old golfing buddy!! See you again soon.

Slow play. I wish a Marshal would have made the group ahead of us play faster but there wasn’t a Marshal anywhere to be found

Carts were 90 degree rule.
We were very pleased with the conditions and layout of the course. Great scenery, reasonably quiet, imaginative layout. No reason to avoid this course now that post over seeding has kicked.
We played 4 other courses for the first time and this was solidly one of our favorites.

Slow play on the back nine.

We enjoyed the course, but due to slow play on the back nine, it got too late in the day to finish. The carts were called in to return.

Need a marshall!

We would have finished our round if the course had a marshall. The four men in front of us would not hit until the group in front of them were on the green even on Par 5"s. We waited on every hole while they had their drinks and their stories and then watched them hit the ball - not very far. When you have expected times to play each hole then it is expected you will enforce it.

DVRGC is almost there

Now that overseeding is complete, the course just needs a few more weeks to be at its best. New grasses are doing well; however, more time is needed before ideal cutting can occur on tee boxes, fairways, rough and greens. At present, there is little ball roll on the fairways and the greens are slow. Sand traps have sufficient sand depth. Pace was good (just under 4 hours), as was value (with Hot Deal).
