This is a fairly straightforward course that provides some fun golf. Condition of the course was fair....spring deluges were tough on the fairways.

My golf partner and I jumped at Hot Deal on this premier course. I had wanted to play here for years and this course sure did not disappoint. It may have been the last nice day of the season so it was a bit stacked up but the pace still moved along steadily. The course was in fantastic condition considering it is season end. The fairways and rough were will groomed and even the heather areas were neatly outlined. The traps, and I found most of them, were soft and very playable. The greens are diabolical but smooth and fast. Love the course and can't wait til next season.

This course is about as centrally located as we have in Indy and even though it is in the city, it is a pretty quiet course. It is flat and the only resistance offered are the big old trees that line the fairways. Traps and water are rare here so you can play pretty quickly. On the day I was here the course had not been mowed (for a couple days?) and was kind of shaggy. The rough was so tall that balls were difficult to find even at the edge of the fairway......still a great little course for a relaxed game.

It has been a few years since I played here at an outing. This time the course was pretty wet and it made things difficult. There were no restrictions on carts but we found we got nearly buried in wet soft turf. A fairly high percentage of the traps were full of water and the grass was abnormally long. The weather has been difficult but this course seems to be suffering more than some others I've played recently.
Windrows of grass sitting on top of long grass made fairway play mandatory.
No clubhouse at the turn a negative. $2 Coke vending machine a bit high.

I came to AZ to play "desert" courses, played several and Dove Valley was the best by far. It started with a very friendly, efficient staff who got me checked in and paired up. The cart GPS was accurate and trouble free. The course was in magnificent condition as was the scenery. Lots of challenges but always fun. Some split fairways and blind faith shots contributed to the fun. All the courses I played here were terrific but this course was 2/3 the cost of the others. Can't wait to come back.

This course is near the city and freeway but all that seems to get lost the moment you get on the grounds of this great golf course. The GCoI was in great shape after a brutal summer. The greens were terrific. It was the last warm day of fall so the course was crowded but the marshals kep things moving. The fall price through Golf Now was 25% off the regular ....how could you go wrong?
