Leisurely fun at Dove Valley Ranch begins "right in your own backyard" on the sweeping greens of the 18-hole, championship golf course. At every turn, brilliant greens contrast with the desert's muted palette of ocotillo, saguaro, ironwood, palo vere and cholla. Ingeniously designed by renowned golfing architect Robert Trent Jones II, the golf course gently shifts between panoramic openness to the intimacy of lush foliage along Willow Wash. Mirroring the southwestern styling of the petroglyph-etched boulders that mark each hole, the adjoining Club House with Pro Shop and snack bar offer a casual but elegant retreat. The championship golf course offers 6,900 yards of pure golfing challenge and a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view. A full 175 acres of Dove Valley Ranch has been reserved for your golfing pleasure, including 87 acres of turf and 88 acres of undisturbed natural desert beauty. In addition to operating its own Golf School, the Pro Shop offers the expertise of a dedicated golf pro for Dove Valley Ranch residents.
