My favorite course in the area due to the layout

I've played this course 4 or 5 times over the past couple summers and truly enjoy the layout. It plays long, some forgiveness on its fairways and the views are outstanding. The ONLY issue right now with the course is the dryness of its fairways and around the greens due to the dry summer weather we've had.

Outstanding location with excellent desert views

This is a championship course that used to be on the PGA tour. A challenging course for the average golfer.

Course as not in good condition

Course was dry, too many dry spots for the price of playing. I know it is summer and water is important in the desert but I just played other courses that have way better grass conditions. Better to play this in winter when course and weather will make it a better experience.

Outstanding Design

Very Challenging design. It is a must play at least 3x. The first time a person is on training wheels. When a target is selected, you don't know if there is a hazard area right where you think the ideal drive might be. Approach shots are almost always uphill, making the course longer. The fairways were not very lush. The greens have been punched and sanded and are running true and maybe a 10.5 on the stimp. I just moved to Tucson and this will be a regular stop, especially with guests in town.

Too Tough

This course is too difficult for 15-20 handicappers. Green complexes extremely challenging. Fun to play once.

Disappointing

Used to attend the World Match Play event annually and also played the course a half dozen years ago. Just moved backed to Arizona so had to play it again. Understand that it’s tough to maintain turf in Tucson this time of year but the conditions were disappointing. Areas just off fairways and greens were very unkept, with maintenance items scattered around as well. Expect better of Dove Mtn.

Challenging, Fun Course in High Style

My first time playing at Dove Mountain and I'll definitely be back. The course is challenging (especially the Wild Burro 9) but fair; and a lot of fun. Since it's in a luxury resort, the amenities are great: Food, shop, practice range, carts, etc. I only have 2 minor complaints: 1. Was surprised that some of the tee boxes were pretty burned out (I know it's June in Tucson, but there are plenty of other courses in the area with great tee boxes; and 2. There are tons of bunkers on this course, and I expected they would have had sand in them. They look like the do, but it's just hard pan. Especially with the number of greenside bunkers, it would be nice to have sand to play out of (I was lucky to only have 3 sand shots; my partner not so much). Otherwise a fun day and a really nice course.
