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.

Great course

This is a very nice course and a good price. The holes are varied with some long and some shorter bug all challenging. I used every club in my bag. Definitely recommend.

Very decent course

The staff was friendly, the drinks were fair priced, the course was in very good condition. Bunkers had a decent amount of sand. Had great experience.

A definite do over

Very nice course with interesting lay out. Front nine is challenging but pretty straight forward for the most part; though playing with a resident helped us a lot. Back nine becomes more target golf. Again, without the friendly resident we played with (thanks Don), it would have been pretty tricky to figure out where and how to play several of the holes. All in all, though a very nice track and we would do it again for sure. $80 online tee off special is about the most I would pay though....but I'm a bit cheap.

A very nice course that I play poorly.

The back nine is very difficult for an average golfer.
