Ingeniously
designed by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones II, this championship
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.
Unlike many of Arizona's "target" golf courses, Dove Valley Ranch
is player friendly, with manicured transition areas that allow its
guests to recover without penalty. RTJ Jr. also put a premium on
strategy and variety, which translates into a challenging yet refreshing
round of golf. Factor in service that is second to none, and no
wonder this lush layout on the outskirts of Phoenix is so popular
with locals and visitors alike.
