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.

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.

Speed of play

We played the front 9 in 2:hrs 20.min. Managed to play through a foursome on #10 and played the back 9 in 1hr 30 minutes. There are gps on each cart so someone in the clubhouse was asleep at the wheel! We did not see a group ahead of us the entire back 9. Course was nice, certainly off the beaten path in location. Would recommend but “hit while we are still young” 😀!

Really enjoyed it

Heard good reports and I wasn’t disappointed. Back 9 tougher than the front 9. Surprised the slope rating is not higher.

Dove Valley Ranch GC

The course was in excellent shape and the ability to take the cart to the ball helped a lot, especially with my 84-year-old golfing buddy!! See you again soon.

Slow play. I wish a Marshal would have made the group ahead of us play faster but there wasn’t a Marshal anywhere to be found

Carts were 90 degree rule.
We were very pleased with the conditions and layout of the course. Great scenery, reasonably quiet, imaginative layout. No reason to avoid this course now that post over seeding has kicked.
We played 4 other courses for the first time and this was solidly one of our favorites.

Slow play on the back nine.

We enjoyed the course, but due to slow play on the back nine, it got too late in the day to finish. The carts were called in to return.

Need a marshall!

We would have finished our round if the course had a marshall. The four men in front of us would not hit until the group in front of them were on the green even on Par 5"s. We waited on every hole while they had their drinks and their stories and then watched them hit the ball - not very far. When you have expected times to play each hole then it is expected you will enforce it.
