Length 7095 yards
Slope 133
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.

Great course, good value

Course was in great shape. Good tee boxes, fairways, greens. Pace of play was a little slow on a Saturday. Several holes really make you think about your next shot and serves a challenge.

My wife and I enjoyed our round at Dove Valley Ranch, QC. The staff was tremendous, course was in good condition and the price was friendly. One negative was, WAY TO MANY grounds crew staff on the course while we were trying to golf. We saw 10-12 grounds staff on the course during our round. Some were working directly in the fairways while customers were trying to golf!

Hard course slow ace of play

Loved the front. Hated the back. No starter so people were just teeing off whenever they pleased. Waited 5-10 minutes on every box on the back due to the course design. Not a fan of target golf.

Love the course

Course is really nice, beautiful scenery. The greens run fast and assimilate a proper speed for your puts. Range balls are included with your tee time. Only downside was a few of the greens had quite a few divots.

Maynard

Always play this course at least once when we are here. Front 9 completely different that back 9. Be prepared for more target golf on the back 9 especially for 3 or 4 holes. A must play.

Sporty and Challening

Enjoyed the round today. Conditions very good for the time of transition, pace was nice, and greens rolled nicely. A great value and challenging layout for the money. Would play again.

Great course but need to play more than once

There are numerous holes on the back that are forced carrys or layups you need to play to determine your strategy. Played on a Friday at 1:50!and done in 4 hours. $89 golf now was a bargain. Great staff and saw the cart person way more than other courses. Definitely will come back.

Pace of play was brutal. Staff did not acknowledge us at all. Loaded cart on our own. Back nine very gimmicky. Not worth the money.
