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.

Tale of two nines.

Tee’d off at 2:00. Course was in great condition after rains. Hats off to the greens crew, they rolled fast and true. Hate 90 degree rule but sometimes necessary. Debatable if it was today. Finished the front nine is 1:55. Thought I’d make it before dark, but the back nine was painfully slow and no Marshall in site. It got dark before I reached the 15th hole. We tried to play in before totally dark to no avail. I’d like to try it again and finish.

Really... no washrooms

Course is great. But a Troon course with no on-course washrooms seems wrong. There is an Porta-Potty on the front nine and a locked washroom on the back-nine which we couldn't access.

Tough back 9!

Excellent course. Great conditions. The best bunker practice area ive seen. Front 9 is where u want to score. Back 9 a few blind shots n lay upa. Loved everything about it except the cart girl. Never saw her except parked in the 9th hole. I could go in the clubhouse n get something at that point!

Great course, very different nines

Front nine wide open, back narrow, target golf. Big greens, moderate speed. Nice carts, paths, traps. Helped to play with two members knowing where not to hit.

Visiting AZ

Great layout with some challenges.

I was able to get paired up with Mary & Monty, who were generous with their course knowledge.The course requires your attention off of the Tees and approach shots as well.

Nice true greens.

Speed of play

We played the front 9 in 2:hrs 20.min. Managed to play through a foursome on #10 and played the back 9 in 1hr 30 minutes. There are gps on each cart so someone in the clubhouse was asleep at the wheel! We did not see a group ahead of us the entire back 9. Course was nice, certainly off the beaten path in location. Would recommend but “hit while we are still young” 😀!

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.
