About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
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.

Show some respect !

To all you golfers who don't rake your trap and / or fill your diviots, please stick to the simulators for your golfing experience !!!

As you obviously do not have the respect to be on a real gold course..

EXCELLENT COURSE

Everything about this course in the experience is top notch.

It is however rather disappointing the quality of the people who play and don't have the common courtesy and or respect of the game to rake the sand traps or fill their divots on the course maybe they should stick to the "simulators" for their golfing experience if they can't have the common courtesy of the other players on the course to break their sand traps and fill their divots

Beautiful and challenging!

The course was mint and pure! The fairways were perfect and greens were well-maintained and rolling true. The front 9 eases you in and the back 9 can definitely kick your butt. Back 9 will force you to play a lot smarter with good course management. Love hard courses that make you think and play smarter! Will definitely be back!

Nice surprise

Fun day! This is a course that I have been wanting to play. The holes layouts were challenging. The t boxes and green were in good shape as well as bunkers had sand. The fairways were in good shape. I will play again!
