Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club

Greens are still pretty hard as some of the other reviews stated but they will stop with proper spin. Played a Sat afternoon, typical Saturday afternoon with new golfers holding up the course causing excruciating slow play. Nice mix of holes.

I will keep a great memory of that course. We play for a good price at 10h39 am, the course was well maintained and beautiful, staff was friendly. Nothing bad to say!

Unfortunately for Dove Valley they do not have any ranger assistance during the week days. We were told this after we prematurely quit the round due to painfully slow pace of play. With no ranger on duty there was absolutely no time enforcement and we were left waiting to tee off at every hole. At points there were multiple groups waiting to T off. We finished 12 and ended up quitting. We drove the cart back to the drop where we told staff how far they were backed up. Without even an apology they replied “yeah, there is no ranger on staff during the week days.” What?! So probably won’t be going back even though the course was generally nice. Also to add insult to injury, we only saw the cart girl once and she drove right by never to be seen again.

Pluses and minuses. The back is very tricky and not a great layout. Course is in great shape but not likely to return.

Wonderful course to play … fun, fair and challenging enough. Love the facility and would play it more often if I could get the $99 COST. I’ve called and was quoted over $150 closer to $180 and that is high. I’m a member of Desert Mountain and would play there instead. But would prefer to play Dave Valley from time to time as a change of pace. At least twice per month.
Thanks for a fun course.

Well conditioned course with great range. Layout is good but a few holes early in the back nine are a little weak. Beverage cart and bar staff were terrific.

Great layout
Beauty scenery
Greens fast
Challenging no matter what tee blocks

Fast greens, great layout … just loved it… pro shop below average, staff about the same … nonetheless, good golf experience!

We played Dove Valley and really thought highly of the course. The views were really great and the conditions were also awesome. The greens were lightning fast and rolled so smoothly.

The course had some weird holes and that was maybe the downside of the course was the blind tee shots. There were maybe 4 holes or so that I think would be a lot nicer if they would open up some of the brush in the way. Overall a really good experience and my 7 year made his first Eagle!!

We really enjoyed this course. Fairways and greens were solid. There were a couple of bunkers that needed sand. We didn't have a starter but still got off on time. Would definitely play again when in the area.

Upon arrival greeted by polite staff that checks you in and loads clubs. Better than average pro shop and bar.
The course is in good shape, green grass, good sand, smooth quick greens and good pace of play. The only negative is the greens are so hard that they don't hold approach shots.

I think that this is one of the best public access golf courses in the Phoenix area. The greens were plenty quick and true without the crazy undulations that many course designers build in today. The fairway grass was great. The practice facility was great as well. A real treat.

First time playing of course. Staff was friendly and the course condition overall was good. Condition of the greens was very good. Some of the holes are a little bit wonky and tricky the first time out, but the layout of the golf course was enjoyable overall. Also, the only major downside was the road noise on some of the holes on the front and otherwise I will be back to play again.
