Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Fast Greens, Tight Cut Fairways
I would have rated 5 stars except the greens were really fast and the fairways were cut really short. As an average golfer adding both of these together made for a tough challenge all day and a higher than normal score. Some downhill putts were pretty hard with the ball rolling way beyond the hole. All 4 of us in the party were complaining about both conditions. Low handicap players might not have the same complaints.
Marshal DEF needed!
While the course is fun and it great shape, the pace of play has been pretty terrible lately. 4:45-5 hour pace is kinda ridiculous. No marshal to ever be seen as well. The couples golf in front of us was behind from the first tee shot. 10 minutes late, and they were 2 holes behind by the time we got to the seventh tee box. The beverage cart girl informed us the group in front of them was on 9 green. At this point they were 100 yards from the seventh tee, and we waited 9 minutes on the tee box alone.
PS. Whoever was in charge on the pin placements for Sunday June 11, 2023 needs some better training. We easily had 5-7 pins on edges of tiered slopes, or 1.5 paces from the edge of the green. I’m sure this played into the problem with pace and, the locations were some of the dumbest spots I’ve seen this year.
Great Course
FIrst off, the Pro Shop staff is and always has been excellent. Course was in good shape. Pace was a bit slow caused by a slow 4-some a few groups ahead - round took about 4;45.
Course can play difficult from the back tees, but they offer 4 sets of tees and anyone can find the right ones. I've taken a number of guests out here and all have had a great time and really enjoyed the course. No two holes the same.
Always a sure bet
The Dove
Friendly staff, very fun layout with the exception of a couple of holes with severe doglegs, type of layout you need to play a few times if you want to score well. That being said, conditions were excellent, greens a bit dried out and trap sand more coarse than higher end places, but overall, very payable and enjoyable. Coyote, rattlesnake, and GPS on carts, all fun features!
