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 condition

This was my first time playing Dove Valley Ranch. I doubt it’ll be the last. The staff was friendly and helpful. The practice area was in good shape. The course was great, fairways manicured and greens were fast.

Great condition for August play Great value

I was deciding between this and another course for the same $ amount for my round yesterday. After watching some videos on youtube I decided that Dove Valley was the scenery I wanted. I had noticed a few reviews about how the course was in good shape for August and I will say the same, it did not disappoint! It's in great shape. Kudos to the greenskeepers. Pace of play was hovering just a bit over their recommended time, not bad. Cart girl buzzed by 4x during the round if that's your thing. You get a small bag of range balls, a nice amount to get warmed up, but not too many to get tired. They have mango scented wet towels at the turn, I strongly recommend those to cool off. Free water bottles were provided. All in all, it's a great place to play. I know it will be priced out of my monthly play during peak season, but I will definitely be adding this course to my summer rotation.

Don’t sleep on this track

I was very pleasantly surprised with the conditions and overall layout of the course. Greens were in great shape, not very many brown spots on fairways or rough and they had sand in their traps. I e been disappointed with many well known “good” courses this summer but Dove Valley delivered a good day.

Other than playing 3 or 4 holes through sprinklers this was absolutely phenomenal. Course is in superb condition and the afternoon tee time was perfect for pace of play and value. Would give 6 stars if I could..

Play it

Got this course for $25.99. What a great steal. You get range balls, waters, gps. Green fairways green greens. I’ve made it a point to play all course in valley and north and this competes with troon and legend trail and all the top courses. First nine is gettable, back nice is a lot tougher with multiple blind shots. Would have been nice to play with someone who knows the track to really score well, but overall great value for summer and conditions. Almost a steal

Had a fun round ... there's a good challenge awaiting you all on the back-nine. You very well could use all your course management skills and clubs in your bag ... Beverage Cart Staff has a great attitude, was friendly and visited us 3 times by the end of our 9 hole round. WORTH A VISIT !
