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, but....

The cart gps was off by 15-20 yards on most shots. Went back to using the range finder after discovering this.

Great value for the price

Fun course and one of the best conditions around for the summer. Great price too. Pace of play is always good, granted I usually play here in the afternoon (wknds and weekdays). Staff is friendly and attentive from bag drop to pro shop to food & beverage. Julia is one of the best cart girls in the valley and I’ve played all over the place! She is fun, friendly, easy to talk to, attentive (see her at least twice per round) and makes delicious Bloody Mary’s!! Front 9 is well designed and not too challenging, but back 9 is a bit gimmicky on average. It’s as if they had limited acreage and didn’t know how best to design it. It’s considerably tougher than the front, but overall a nice course in good shape and although greens are a bit slow and bumpy, they’re better than most courses this time of year. Will be in superb shape come the Fall. Highly recommend this course for most players. If you’re used to the North Scottsdale premium clubs, then you may be slightly disappointed due to having higher than normal expectations.

Love this Track

I play Dove Valley frequently and this layout is so fun. The more you play and know the holes is just gets even better! The course does have some burn spots with the summer heat but the price is right. Staff is arguably the best in the entire valley as they are so nice and welcoming. Go check this place out!

Not worth it when course is being worked on

My good friend and I took an early tee time at Dove Valley and normally the service and course is top notch. Regretfully for the price I paid for our rounds didn't feel at all the level of what your course can provide. We have played there multiple times and this time was a little different than the rest. Could you please help me in looking to have a re-do round in the future when the greens and service is better?

The courses greens were very poorly done for your aeration and made golf miserable to putt. I understand aeration can make greens a little rough, but with the amount of sand and poorly cut greens it was too much.

All the holes where water should have been for a hot summer's day, was not available and no ball washers at any of the holes.

Originally the cart service was listed as restaurant only, but it was nice to have a temporary cart attendant around hole 10 or 11; however, the Corona was a little less enjoyable as there were no limes.

No help with golf bags when pulled up and less than desirable round. Paid too much for the level of what this course could normally give the average golfer.

Summer conditions

Fluffy greens when lots of bumpy putts.

Fairways in poor condition.

Big section of no grass throughout a lot of fairways.

In their defense monsoons hit us hard this year.

Great value

Love the course and layout. The course is struggling through the summer like most courses, but for the love of god get new range balls. They’re beyond bad.

The course is in good shape. Cart path only after all of the rain.

The greens are fuzzy. Don’t expect a smooth roll.
