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.

Decent Value

Love the layout at Dove Valley, good, challenging track. Not a ton of "forced desert carry" but some water and some very large greens to navigate.

Peak season very good value, 1/2 the price of most of the name courses in and around the valley.

Greens were much slower than most courses around, not sure why. They rolled nicely though and the course was decently maintained.

If you are looking to save some cash vs. the big tracks (Troon, Greyhawk, etc.) Dove is a nice value.

Staff was solid and accomodating.

Far better course than I was expecting. I had been told it was always packed and very slow play. We played Mon afternoon and never had to wait. The fairways are in great shape and the greens are smooth and true although pretty slow. Hard to beat for the money.

Great course and good value

Great course and good value for twilight golf through GolfNow. Rental clubs were affordable but were dirty, golf bags had trash and warm beer left inside, and cart wasn’t cleaned out well before they put us in it. Other than that we had a great time and staff was very friendly and helpful.

Had a great time!

This was the second time we played this course. It’s in great shape. The back nine is definitely more challenging than the front nine. We will be Bach there for sure.
