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.

Punched Green Peril

The greens were very rough and bumpy. We received no notice of the greens being punched prior to reserving our tee time. Many well struck putts tumbled offline, tarnishing the experience. Despite the drop in rates for summer play in AZ, a green fee still north of $80 with tax comes with higher expectations, and Dove Valley Ranch fell short.

Almost all the greens need repairs and maintenance.

Greens need maintenance. Also, you will not find buckets to clean your golf balls. Finally, one of the guys in the golf shop needs some classes on how to treat people, and the golf pace was slow. Each group was split by 6 min, and one group of foursomes was stopping all of us.

Watch out for aeration timing

Looks like course was aerated within last 2-3 weeks. Many bare areas in fairways. Greens were bumpy and slow ( as to be expected). Would of appreciated course website indicating their aeration schedule rather than just updating their calendar with driving range maintenance schedule.

A bit over priced IMO based on course conditions and other venues available fir play in the Valley.

Poor course condition...

Look at my pictures... Greens are still in poor condition from aerifying. Fairways are not better. Staff is not helpful and the Ranger is arrogant - great combination for a bad experience. Played here years ago and every aspect was 10 times better.

Love the course, greens recently punched

Course layout is awesome, haven’t played here in years but still love the place. Greens have recently been punched so super bumpy making it hard to score unless very good iron in. Other than greens still worth it for a solid round of golf!

Tough time to play

Course is in very rough shape right now, dirt fairways and burned out greens. Too soon after aeration I guess. For the cost I would hold off playing here for a while.

Course is in rough shape

For what they were charging I would not play here until greens and fairways returned. Must be having a difficult time getting this course ready for summer, should have started a long time ago.

Poor course conditions

The fairways are in poor shape (lot of burnt out areas) and the greens have just be recently punched and sanded. Putting was poor.

Great course for summer play.

Little higher altitude up there so cooler . Lots of shade. In great shape. Loved range finder attached to cart. Employees inside and outside were friendly. Would play again.

Side note: We accidentally hit into the group in front of us. (Ball went to the left and over trees) Found out when we got closer to them. Young guy came over to us to yell and threw the ball at us. When we got to the green they left the flag out and in the ground. Wow.
