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.

Solid Course

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.

Nice day

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.

Really Nice Track

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.

Good value and great greens

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.

Tale of two nines.

Tee’d off at 2:00. Course was in great condition after rains. Hats off to the greens crew, they rolled fast and true. Hate 90 degree rule but sometimes necessary. Debatable if it was today. Finished the front nine is 1:55. Thought I’d make it before dark, but the back nine was painfully slow and no Marshall in site. It got dark before I reached the 15th hole. We tried to play in before totally dark to no avail. I’d like to try it again and finish.

Really... no washrooms

Course is great. But a Troon course with no on-course washrooms seems wrong. There is an Porta-Potty on the front nine and a locked washroom on the back-nine which we couldn't access.

Everything excellent except for allowing 6person 4some

The course was spectacular. A huge disappointment that a 6some was allowed to continue after several attempts to break them up

I feel this is on Dove Valley to take responsibility rather than fellow golfers
