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.

Very average course

Lots of bare spots in fairways. Not a good course to play on monsoon season. There are many drainage issues. Traps full of water. Greens were in good shape.

We probably will not play again considering how many great courses are in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.

No water

The course was in great condition, I love the challenge of the course. The beverage cart server was very friendly as were the cart boys. I have one big complaint though and that is that there was no water available anywhere on the course. We are in a desert and you should have water stations available, most courses do have water available

Course needs some love

First off I’d like to start off by saying the staff was super friendly and no mean mugging going on. The course wasn’t in the best shape I’ve seen it in a lot of tee boxes are bumpy and uneven the bunkers had some rather large rocks in them. Now some greens were ok some needed a trim but it’s Phoenix and it’s summer so it is to be expected when it’s 100 plus degrees out now I don’t necessarily dislike the course I just hate that there aren’t any water coolers nor water fountains out on the course. So if you do play here I suggest you bring a couple bottles of water
