About

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.

Course Progressing Nicely after Reseeding

Cart Path Only (CPO) conditions. Tee boxes good; fairways still filling-in but acceptable; traps with inconsistent levels of sand depth; greens firm, rolling true but slow. Pace was very slow at start (due to CPO), but did open up on back (4.5 hours total). Good value (with TeeOff hot deal). Should be in excellent condition in another 7-10 days.

Nice course in good shape

Course in great shape after just reopening from overseeding. Good layout, some hard holes, some target golf, and overall in really good shape. Fast play, did not have to wait at all.

Second time around

Enjoyed the course, but ran into as wall of twosome and single.

Course was in preparation for overseeing.

A lot of yellow/brown, but felt like green.

Would not hesitate to play again.

Bag the Bag Boys

I’m handicapped with mobility issues. Upon arriving at the bag drop I asked if I could park my car and then take cart to load our bags. Bag boys said not allowed. There wasn’t any handicap parking available (full) so my wife had to carry out bags quite a ways to pro shop. Pro shop guys were nice, but o asked if they could turn off restrictions on golf cart so I could get closer to greens ( I’m always respectful of staying far enough away to not cause damage). They said it was possible, but they Dowdy know how to do it. At least they were honest, since bag boys told me that was impossible. Bag boys were rude and disrespectful, plus they could be heard quite a ways away stopping F bombs left and right. Bad first impression.
