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.

Ok, like an average municipal track

Ok I guess for the money, but outside staff are not attentive and busy with something other than guests. Driving range is meh.

Could be really good with a little more effort

Perfect Day!

We place Dove Valley Ranch on a Sunday morning. Course is in great shape as many in the area are in the transition period to the summer bermuda grass. We played in exactly 4 hours so pace of play was perfect. Staff is always so friendly and helpful. Dove Valley Ranch does not disappoint!

Very dry. Greens were so hard the ball just bounced off the surface. Took 5 hours to play, too long.

Front and Back are totally different

Pros: Course was in great condition. Played in less than 4 hours. We saw the Drink cart multiple times on each nine. Greens rolled true.

Course is walkable, altho it's a hike from 10 to 11 and from 17 to 18. GPS on carts.

Cons: front and back nines are like playing two different courses. There wasn't a flow. The front nine is wide open, grip it and rip it. The back nine was tight, blind shot, target golf.

Also, the driving range was closed for maintenance.

Very Good Course Conditions, Especially The Bunkers

It was great to play a course that properly maintained the bunkers. The staff was friendly and helpful. Be sure you have enough fresh water in the cart cooler, because there is no water on the course.

Fun golf & challenging

Bring your A game. The front nine is a good warmup to manage your shots on the back. The back nine is a lot tighter and you will enjoy it, but you will need to select your clubs wisely. I enjoyed the course and will play it again.

A Good Course

The course is in good condition. The back nine is a bit more challenging and tighter than the front nine. Greens roll true. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Practice area is above average. Course bunkers have rakes. Unfortunately, no water is available on the course to refill your containers.

Nice course!

Front nine was a typical desert layout

Back nine was tighter with more foliage and dog legs!

Average course; above average scenery

Fairways and greens are sun-baked and hard. If you can get your ball to stop on a green, you might have a pin position in the middle of a slope, which is stupid. The course was clean and pace was good. Rental clubs were a bit beat up for $40. At $100 for an afternoon tee time, I expected a little more in terms of course conditions. It was either here or the Boulders for double the cost. I am staying at the Boulders and wishing I would have paid the $200+ to play one the really lush courses here.
