About

Holes 18
Type Private/Resort
Par 72
Length 7849 yards
Slope 147
Rating 77.1

The Golf Club at Dove Mountain features 27 challenging holes that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Saguaro/Tortolita golf course is naturally named after its beautiful landscape of centuries-old Saguaro cacti nestled at the base of the Tortolita Mountain Range. The golf course meanders though desert washes covered in native flora and fauna. There are large greens that feature plenty of movement. The par-3 third hole on the Tortolita nine has the highest elevation of any at the golf club. There are also strategically placed fairway bunkers and a few forced carries.

Too difficult

I guess if you're someone who hits it straight and far every shot, this is a fun course. For the rest of us, expect to lose 6-12 balls. Course was in great shape, just too penal for the casual golfer in my opinion.

Excellent Course

We found a great deal on Golf Now so decided to book a tee-time since we’ve been wanting to play Dove Mountain for quite some time The course is scenic and in great condition. The staff was very friendly and service was excellent. Bottled ice water on the course was a nice touch. The sand in the bunkers was packed down making shots out challenging, but I suppose one could say to stay out of the bunkers. There are just so many, though, making the course difficult. Despite that, we would still go back. We had a lovely day! As a non-member, thank you for the opportunity to play!

Golf Club at Dove Mountain

Would have rated the course higher but we were behind a tournament that we were not aware of when we made the tee time. When we made the turn they told us no one would be in front of us as the tournament would be over. However when we made the turn there were other people in front of us. The greens were perfect

Cart-path only

Beautiful course but especially exhausting due to recent rains. heat, and cart-path only. I got more than we paid for and enjoyed our round. We will be back! Staff was especially friendly.

Great conditions

Finally this high end course lived up to expectations…greens were true and rolled well. Fairways were like carpets. Bare spots in general were few. Played front nine alone and back nine as part of a foursome …played in 3 hours and 30 minutes. Great day

Hole signs

We got turned around a couple of times and lost on #9 Sahuaro! The direction and hole signs could be clearer. Especially for 1st timers. Other then that, great experience!

Beautiful design and lay out.

When I booked the tee time I had very high expectations as I have heard many good reviews of this course. As I played hole to hole every expectation of mine were unbelievable. The course, grounds the staff were over the top. Views were incredible. I will be back soon.
