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.

Good Day

Interesting layout, but no really memorable holes. The golf shop staff was friendly and helpful. This course was a pleasure to play and far and away the best value during our 5 day trip to Scottsdale.

good course

I really like this course, good layout and fair.

Needs some improvements:

- No ball or club washers anywhere on the course or range

- greens were very inconsistent in terms of cut

Re-Visit

I have played this course several times and found it as enjoyable as I remember. Plenty of tees for all player levels, nice layout, very good conditions even considering a recent aeration. Equal distribution of tough, moderate and less difficult holes. Will play again in the future.

Silverado is way better

Nice track good conditions over all . Staff very polite . Played 18 holes and not one pin was even close to flat spot .zero flat areas at all the pin placements . Like what the heck ? Why do that to us and make for a super insane placement ? No was to stop a put. Greens were nice and I’m perfectly fine with fast greens but how do that make for a fun round of overpriced golf?

Not worth the long drive to get there for that kind of frustration.

I’m a ten handicap and like I said fast greens , no problem but why the poor pins?

Very happy with our choice

Course was in very good condition. Included in the round was a small bag of balls to be used at the busy driving range. Didn't have to wait long before a couple of spots became available. The food at the restaurant was very good at a reasonable price. The restaurant had a sale on draft beer which was very nice at the turn and after the round. Waitresses were very friendly.

Very positive impression the minute we unloaded at the bag drop. Very courteous young men checked us in and directed to club house. Behind the counter a very engaging young man that asked all the right questions. Made me feel like I was a member of the club. On to the course where it was a joy to play. The two gentleman we were paired with knew the course and shared their local knowledge. Definitely would return to play again

Course is fun to play

Course was in good shape and while it didn't effect the enjoyment, the round did take nearly 5 hours. Yikes. Need to keep things moving better than that.
