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.

Fun and plenty challenge

Firs time playing a desert course. I thought I was going to

Melt in the Arizona sun but it was actually not bad at 105f and never broke a sweat. One thing is for sure if you don’t hit the fairways don’t bother looking for your ball in the waste areas. Unfriendly critters in there you cannot even see. Ahh. And roadrunners don’t actually “beep beep” like the cartoon

Well worth a visit

Payed just a few days before closure for over-seeding, however it was still in very good condition and the layout was fun with some challenging holes. Would definitely play it again when next in the area.

Very solid

Love the layout. Greens were in great shape for late summer. Course was a little wet from rain, but not too bad. Only complaint are bunker conditions. Thin, rocky and consistantly awful.

Dove Valley review

Golf course was in great shape , The lunch snd wait staff was very good. Greens were slow which I did not like. From the back tees maintenance needs to clear views so you can see what is in front of you as to how to play the hole. This was on the back 9. The staff made sure you had ice in the cart and plenty of water bottles. Over all experience was great course was very scenic but my only two issues were green speed and vegetation growth that did not allow you to see where you were hitting your shot. Again this was from the back tees which I’m sure is the least played tee. Course price was very good and again the staff did a great job with food and making sure of your hydration. A great idea would be to bump the price up $5 and provide a yardage book. If in the area you should play as price is fair and good is good and staff is good

This is a great layout and always in good condition.

I found the course to be in very good condition again this time. I really like variety of holes. There were too many little pebbles on the greens. I will always take the opportunity to play here. Really like this layout.

Slow and lose on course management

Pace was very slow. Course allowed people to jump out in front of us at the turn. We went back and complained and asked for a credit and we’re told no

Slow but a decent golf course

Pace of play was very slow. Got to number tem and people had decided to jump on in front of us. We reported it to the pro shop however, nothing was done, no rain check was an option, so we left.

Good Playing Conditions

DVR was in fine shape when I played it. Most tee boxes were level (not all), fairways were good (whereas the rough was rough), sand traps were inconsistent with level of sand to work, greens were consistent (running fast and true). Pace was good (3:50), as was value (via Hot Deal). Go and enjoy this resort-style course while it is affordable.
