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.

Good Playing Conditions

DVR was in fine shape when I played it. Most tee boxes were level (not all), fairways were good (whereas the rough was rough), sand traps were inconsistent with level of sand to work, greens were consistent (running fast and true). Pace was good (3:50), as was value (via Hot Deal). Go and enjoy this resort-style course while it is affordable.

First Time Playing

Dove Valkey Ranch Summer Saturday

Will certainly go back. $65 round at 8:20 am on a Saturday, so I think it was an ok value for time of day. Not a huge fan of AM golf anywhere in the valley in summer as the fairways are always sopping wet. This was no exception. Soaked fairways, heavy bunkers. Punched greens a couple weeks ago but they are pretty much good to go. Decent pro shop & bar. No water on course, so BYOW and fill up at bag drop. Good layout & fun holes. Look forward to playing again just later in day. My only beef, and it’s a big one was the pace of play.
4:35 round in Phoenix in Summer is inexcusable
The pro shop said “yeah, we had one group that slowed everyone down.”
Soooo…..you knew about it but didn’t push them forward. Quite a few upset people behind us..

First Time Playing

Challenging layout if the conditions are good.

Overall a very challenging course. Unfortunately had a little too much water which lead to flooded bunkers, soggy fairways, and unplayable lies (sometimes even in fairways, it was 100+ for the week we played, no rain). Staff was incredibly nice and overall experience was good. I would give it another chance as the upside is high.
