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.

2nd to None Staff and Course

Have lived in Anthem, AZ for 2.5 yrs and proud to call this my home course.

From the minute you get there and check your bags in with Scott, to the guys at the Front Desk and than Jen and the rest of cart girls they make you feel like Family!

Course has some amazing views and some veey tough holes!

Luv the course, like the Staff even more!

Not a bad track!

Not a bad track.but the greens were a little bumpy- could us a little more sand in the bunkers otherwise it’s a nice layout- have to think club selection on a few holes but that’s what I like about this course a few surprises along the way. Pace of play was excellent- finished in four hours. I will be back.

Disappointed

Have played this course quite a few times and this was not a good time for me. The greens were way below par...they were spotty with two different types of grass which did not make for good putting. The greens are usually in great shape...but for this far into the winter golf season they were a huge disappointment. The tees had not been mowed when we played which was also disappointing. Overall this is a fun course with some challenging holes, but I will not be back till I get a positive report on the greens being a lot better.

Good layout.

Have enjoyed playing this course each time we have played over several years. Greens are fast as a tabletop. Several challenging doglegs on back 9 require a serious club selection. Good food and drink selections at the 19th hole. Good driving range and chipping area. Will play again.

So so

Hi, not a huge fan of this course. I find the warm up are and driving range is a bit of a goat track.

Layout of course is great.

Spotty lies, some areas are thin.

Greens were fast and tough to get close.

I only played because of the price.

Maybe you might like it.

Nice course, but poor staff

Usually good to play a course that has a good ranger....but being asked to move a little faster after 10 when we wasted 20+ minutes at the turn waiting for a hot dog and a coke....and then we had to move on and they brought the dogs to us a hole or two later. Our tee was 10:39 and as such we would expect to either get a dog at the turn or get a sandwich off the beverage cart. NO food on the cart, so we had to wait at the turn. Separately, after we finished I tipped the guys who clean our clubs. When we drove to the bag drop to pick them up, they were unattended....my VERY expensive bag & sticks waiting there for anyone to take. We loaded our clubs ourselves and bid goodbye to Dove Valley Ranch forever.

SLOW PLAY

1 pm tee time on a weekday. Posted play way 4 hours 10 minutes. Front 9 went smoothly. At the turn a foursome was allowed to cut in. It took 4 hours o play thru 15. We were 2 hours at the turn. Therefore we weren’t going to finish before dark. We left the course. As we past the groups ahead the cutting group was 11/2 holes behind The next group was nearly the same. 5 hour round for that course.... don’t think so.

The course is in very good shape but the greens are lightning fast. We played as a foursome in less than four hours. It was a great day!

Nice course and friendly staff

We played 9 holes at 8am and got on promptly. The course was in great shape with quick and nice greens. Playing from the whites is enjoyable for the higher handicapper. My daughter played from the forward green tees which was perfect for her. Will play there again..

Only for pros!

Okay so I'll start by saying I'm not a a pro! Second, myself and 2 others were on our way to the 17th tee when were stopped by a large ginger guy and told that we were behind schedule. According to him the whole course should take less that 4 hours and 10 minutes, he also said there were others behind us. We were at exactly 4 hours and 9 minutes when this occurred without taking a lunch. Lol this is the kicker right here pay attention, I then said and I quote "well then I wont I be back" and he replied "that's fine". We continued on and I was very annoyed but we all hurried even more to be courteous to the supposed players behind us and we finished the game without ever seeing another player behind us. So if that's what my $92 for 18 gets me then so be it. Obviously I won't be back lol but that's fine apparently. Only good thing I have to say about this place is that the cart girl Jen is a delight.

Our round took nearly five hours to complete, during which tine our golf cart was hit twice by other golfers. Greens were in poor shape. Simply not worth the money.
