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.

My wife and I enjoyed our round at Dove Valley Ranch, QC. The staff was tremendous, course was in good condition and the price was friendly. One negative was, WAY TO MANY grounds crew staff on the course while we were trying to golf. We saw 10-12 grounds staff on the course during our round. Some were working directly in the fairways while customers were trying to golf!

Hard course slow ace of play

Loved the front. Hated the back. No starter so people were just teeing off whenever they pleased. Waited 5-10 minutes on every box on the back due to the course design. Not a fan of target golf.

Always play this course at least once when we are here. Front 9 completely different that back 9. Be prepared for more target golf on the back 9 especially for 3 or 4 holes. A must play.

Sporty and Challening

Enjoyed the round today. Conditions very good for the time of transition, pace was nice, and greens rolled nicely. A great value and challenging layout for the money. Would play again.

Pace of play was brutal. Staff did not acknowledge us at all. Loaded cart on our own. Back nine very gimmicky. Not worth the money.

Dove Valley Ranch Golf

Nice Course and clubhouse, good conditions and course layout. As a first time visitor to this course, I found a few holes to be a bit disorienting with some of the sharp doglegs and not knowing exactly how far to hit the ball. Local course knowledge is definitely a benefit for playing this course. Shot 80, but could have been lower with a better idea of the layout. Maybe a nice yardage book and map of the course would add to the enjoyment of first timers.
