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.

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.

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

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).

Well Im back and Dove is better than ever

Just reseeded and have never seen this course in such great condition.

Pace of play was great 3.5hrs

Only downfall was No Cart Girl

Excited to be home and have Dove as my Home Course again!

First Time Playing this Course

Really fun and favorable front nine. The need to cut down several trees on the back nine so you have an idea where you’re hitting to! Cart path only when I played - probably wouldn’t have gone out if I’d known that.

I will definitely go back.

Recovering slowly from overseed

About average conditions for this time of year. Greens look like they could be cut a little lower as the speed was slowwwww and that’s tough when you are used to fast.

Otherwise fun round in the heat!
