Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club

First time playing.

Course is just simply special!

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

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.

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.

This is an ideal course for working on your short game. The course is well marked and the reseeding is starting to take effect.

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).

Dove Valley was my home course for 6yrs before moving away for work for 15 months

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!

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.

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!

Location next to construction and roadways decreased to ambiance.

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

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.
