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 layout and challenging course. Greens were putting well which was a change. Last week they were very fast. The bunkers had been vastly improved over our last play last week.

Great first time experience at Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff that continued throughout the whole check in process. Great food we picked up at the turn with friendly food staff on the course as well. We enjoyed the challenge of the course and will be back soon.

Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in good shape. Bunkers lacked any depth in sand and were very poorly maintained. Staff was courteous and helpful.

Tricky course, bring lots of balls, great shape

The course was in nice shape; fast greens and nice fairways. However, the layout of the course does take away from the fun. You literally have to hit the fairway or you might not find it. On the back nine, you can’t even see where your hitting it! There’s a lot of waste area that makes the course look like desert golf but you can’t hit it off it. It’s all rocks!!

Staff

Wouldn’t drive 100 miles round trip to play course again. The staff members were abrasive and lacked interest in advising the basic protocols, ie….starting time notification, directions to 1st tee, etc.

Course maintenance is either dried out or saturated wet in areas and greens are hard and fast.

Overall course is overpriced for the golf experience.

Great pace

Pacing was excellent. No pressure to hurry shots though we did move it along.

Interesting layout.

I would return.

It's the little things...

Pretty pleased with the course overall. It met expectations and what people had told us about it. Layout is really nice. Clubhouse staff were really nice and friendly and helpful. Disappointed to not have GPS working for the front 9, so I was guessing on yardage. Also no pencils or scorecards in the box at the second tee...completely empty. I'd go back again for sure.
