Just as ancient people who once lived here conjured beauty and function from the harsh surroundings, so did the Robert Trent Jones Jr. team...creating a golf course that respects the natural topography while supporting a more comfortable lifestyle. The upscale, daily fee facility opened as the key amenity in the 850 acre Dove Valley Ranch master planned golf community just North of Phoenix, Arizona. Geneva Golf Club: Located in the scenic Alexandria Minnesota Lakes Area, Geneva Golf Club features 27 holes of public golf, carved from the ecological terrain of the area which features a variety of trees, marshlands, and natural hazards. Architect Joel Goldstrand designed the layout that opened in the Spring of 2000, and it's been said the course compares favorably with some of the best resort courses in Minnesota. Power Ranch Golf Club: Eighteen holes of spectacular Arizona championship golf meander their way through the cleansed desert of the Queen Creek wash, following with every turn the subtle elevation changes of the area. The par-71 Power Ranch Golf Club located in the southeast Phoenix Valley was designed by golf course architect Dick Bailey and stretches over 6,900 yards. Natural undulations and strategically placed mounding combine with Trilogy's natural setting to create a golf course that is able to both challenge the accomplished player and accommodate the novice. Longbow Golf Club first opened in 1997 and the complete redesign was unveiled in the fall of 2003. The redesign included a striking new clubhouse, expanded acreage and totally revamped practice facility, Longbow Golf Club, more than ever is a “must-play.” The redesign improves upon perfection by lengthening the total yardage to 7,050 from the back tees and expanding the fairways to be enjoyable by players of all skill levels. The distinctive new Arizona contemporary clubhouse is a one-of-a-kind structure that offers a spacious outdoor event patio with fans, heaters, misters, outdoor kitchen and bar, enormous patio fireplace, cozy restaurant, and well-appointed golf shop.
