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, Great Staff

This course was awesome, despite pace being a tad bit on the slow side. The staff was very friendly and the beer cart always made it to us right on time! Very fun course to play, it’s in great shape and is playing very nicely!

Slow play

This is the second time in a row where the pace of play is way too slow. In this heat you need to keep things moving along and waiting ten plus minutes per hole is insane.

Great course! Excellent Staff

The course is in great shape, greens are really good. I requested my own cart and the staff was accommodating. I think dove valley ranch is doing a nice job in regards to the virus, trying to keep people safe.

Good course, cart staff was poor

It stated that we could take our own carts due to COVID-19. When I got to the course I was informed by the cart attendant at the bag drop that individual riders would not be allowed. Fortunately my playing partner arrived just before I did and spoke with the Pro Shop staff who authorized the single riders. Nonetheless, the cart attendants seemed to take offense and were not very friendly.

The course overall was in good conditions and with fast greens. Overall, I felt I received good value for the money but with so many other playing options in the Valley, I don't think I'll be back to Dove Valley Ranch until the pandemic is over, or if at all.

Challenging Course

Definitely a challenging course the first time you play. It is a unique layout with a lot of blind tee shots. You need to take advantage of the par 3s to keep your score competitive as they are the most straight forward holes on the course. Every other hole outside the first poses danger which is fun.

Very Wet

Really unfair to rate this on a single visit, since it rained all day. But we still had lots of fun, and was amazed how fast the greens were since it was raining.

Service, pro shop, and attendants were very informative and helpful. Since it rained, it was cart path only!! So there were a lot of walking. This is were I really had an issue. Since it was raining and I pre-paid the green fees. I wasn't given a chance for a rain check. I had no problem golfing in the rain. But since it was cart path only, I would have thought a discount would be in line?

I still want to play here again, and give it a fair rating in the future.

Under-rated Course!

I play Dove Valley frequently and it is such an under-rated course in the area. It is always a great value. The course is fun and challenging for any golfer. The greens are in great shape for summer conditions. Staff here is probably the best course I have ever been too. They are always friendly and ready to assist. Go check it out!
