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.

Not worth it.

Unfortunately for Dove Valley they do not have any ranger assistance during the week days. We were told this after we prematurely quit the round due to painfully slow pace of play. With no ranger on duty there was absolutely no time enforcement and we were left waiting to tee off at every hole. At points there were multiple groups waiting to T off. We finished 12 and ended up quitting. We drove the cart back to the drop where we told staff how far they were backed up. Without even an apology they replied “yeah, there is no ranger on staff during the week days.” What?! So probably won’t be going back even though the course was generally nice. Also to add insult to injury, we only saw the cart girl once and she drove right by never to be seen again.

Good not great

Pluses and minuses. The back is very tricky and not a great layout. Course is in great shape but not likely to return.

Dove Valley

Wonderful course to play … fun, fair and challenging enough. Love the facility and would play it more often if I could get the $99 COST. I’ve called and was quoted over $150 closer to $180 and that is high. I’m a member of Desert Mountain and would play there instead. But would prefer to play Dave Valley from time to time as a change of pace. At least twice per month.

Thanks for a fun course.

Well conditioned course with great range. Layout is good but a few holes early in the back nine are a little weak. Beverage cart and bar staff were terrific.

Great Course!

We played Dove Valley and really thought highly of the course. The views were really great and the conditions were also awesome. The greens were lightning fast and rolled so smoothly.

The course had some weird holes and that was maybe the downside of the course was the blind tee shots. There were maybe 4 holes or so that I think would be a lot nicer if they would open up some of the brush in the way. Overall a really good experience and my 7 year made his first Eagle!!

Nice day

Upon arrival greeted by polite staff that checks you in and loads clubs. Better than average pro shop and bar.

The course is in good shape, green grass, good sand, smooth quick greens and good pace of play. The only negative is the greens are so hard that they don't hold approach shots.

Solid Course

We really enjoyed this course. Fairways and greens were solid. There were a couple of bunkers that needed sand. We didn't have a starter but still got off on time. Would definitely play again when in the area.

Really Nice Track

I think that this is one of the best public access golf courses in the Phoenix area. The greens were plenty quick and true without the crazy undulations that many course designers build in today. The fairway grass was great. The practice facility was great as well. A real treat.

Good value and great greens

First time playing of course. Staff was friendly and the course condition overall was good. Condition of the greens was very good. Some of the holes are a little bit wonky and tricky the first time out, but the layout of the golf course was enjoyable overall. Also, the only major downside was the road noise on some of the holes on the front and otherwise I will be back to play again.

Everything excellent except for allowing 6person 4some

The course was spectacular. A huge disappointment that a 6some was allowed to continue after several attempts to break them up

I feel this is on Dove Valley to take responsibility rather than fellow golfers

Course is in great condition!

Fun layout, but the pace of play today was pretty slow. I get that I was playing as a single, but I was playing about as slow as I could and still waiting 5 minutes between shots, especially on the back 9. Absolutely brutal.
