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.

Better than Expected

Great, friendly staff, large driving range (irons only), and chipping and putting area. Carts had plenty of 'zip' to them. Greens were fast and challenging - pin placement kinda funky, near the edges. Cart girl top notch. Pace of play fantastic, only waited on one tee box. Back nine more target golf. Kept driver in the bag most holes. Great value for the low price.

Great Bang for Buck

Great course, relatively easy layout and pretty beginner friendly. Fairways and greens were pretty fast, which makes sense due to some dryness, but still in good condition. Rental clubs were a bit steep at $80, but the set was nice, Taylormade Qi. Pace got a little backed up on the back 9 but we were able to join pair in front of us to speed up a little. Overall great value compared to other courses in the area which were $100+ per round.

I’m curious if the course is low on ice ? Last two times I’ve played bottle water in the cooler but no ice today two empty bottles left in the cooler and I teed off at 9:30 …. Not a biggy but I just feel worth the mention..

A Perfect Day at the Golf Course

On a beautiful September day in Arizona, my wife and I enjoyed an unforgettable round of golf. We were graciously paired with a kind and patient gentleman, a marshal for five PGA golf events, whose company enhanced our experience.

The course itself was in splendid condition, a testament to the dedication of the staff who were not only kind but also delightfully fun. It offered a challenging yet forgiving layout, making it an enjoyable play for golfers of varying skill levels.

The highlight of our day was undoubtedly when my wife achieved her first hole-in-one on the 16th hole, playing from the white tees. It was a moment of pure joy that we celebrated by treating everyone at the clubhouse bar to a round of drinks. The staff there were incredibly friendly, adding to the warmth and camaraderie of the celebration.

Overall, it was a perfect day, marked by beautiful weather, excellent course conditions, and the joyful achievement of a memorable milestone. We left the course with smiles on our faces and cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

Greens are great

I have been playing here since I was a kid, always a great course but you can tell they really stepped the greens up more recently, they were rolling! Love this course, give it a shot if you have never played here!

Best course in town

It's nice to have a golf course and the staff that does the simple things correct, all your efforts are greatly appreciated 👍

Just wish the players would have the same level of integrity by filling their divots in the fairway and raking the traps.

Boulder buried in left bunker by #8 green

While playing #8, my shot ended up in the front left bunker. When hitting the shot, I about broke my wrists when I hit the top of a boulder that was buried under the sand. The boulder was about one foot wide and could not be removed. I raked around it and took a picture to show the clubhouse, who really could have cared less.

I advised them that it caused damage to my PXG Sugar Daddy 58% wedge, but again the front desk could only apologize by saying "We are so sorry!"

I was expecting a little more!

Great condition

This was my first time playing Dove Valley Ranch. I doubt it’ll be the last. The staff was friendly and helpful. The practice area was in good shape. The course was great, fairways manicured and greens were fast.
