Dove Valley Ranch

Dove Valley Ranch’s 175 acre, 18 hole, championship golf course has sweeping, brilliant greens—a stark contrast with the desert's muted palette of ocotillo, saguaro, ironwood, palo verde and cholla. Designed Robert Trent Jones II, the course offers 6,900 yards of pure challenge, and a spectacular 360 degree panoramic view.

"This isn't just another golf course," says Robert Trent Jones, Jr., "This course is unsurpassed in natural beauty and play and will be rated among top golf and residential communities in the Western United States. It has been personally satisfying to see this beautiful course emerge from this magnificent desert setting."

Capitalizing on the rolling terrain of the Sonoran desert, Dove Valley offers a variety of shot making challenges to test the skill level of every player, from the beginner to professionals.

Facilities

The Club House, Pro Shop and snack bar offer a casual but elegant retreat.
