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.

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

Course is in great condition!

Fun layout, but the pace of play today was pretty slow. I get that I was playing as a single, but I was playing about as slow as I could and still waiting 5 minutes between shots, especially on the back 9. Absolutely brutal.

Tough back 9!

Excellent course. Great conditions. The best bunker practice area ive seen. Front 9 is where u want to score. Back 9 a few blind shots n lay upa. Loved everything about it except the cart girl. Never saw her except parked in the 9th hole. I could go in the clubhouse n get something at that point!

Great course, very different nines

Front nine wide open, back narrow, target golf. Big greens, moderate speed. Nice carts, paths, traps. Helped to play with two members knowing where not to hit.

Late Tee Time

Late tee times are fine if you don't have inconsiderate people in front of you. We could have finished but as you can guess, 2 men and a women lolly gagged and slowed everyone down. Typical general public.

Visiting AZ

Great layout with some challenges.
I was able to get paired up with Mary & Monty, who were generous with their course knowledge.The course requires your attention off of the Tees and approach shots as well.
Nice true greens.
