About

The Duke at Rancho El Dorado is a championship, 18-hole golf facility designed by David Druzinsky. This desert links style course offer generous fairways and a scenic view of the natural desert sage and brush surrounding. The difficulty lies in the slope of putting green so golfers beware.

The Duke at Rancho El Dorado is a par-72 golf course that measures 7,011 yards from the back tees.

After a round on the Duke at Rancho El Dorado, head to Silver Spur Grill for breakfast, lunch or dinner on the patio, which offers vistas of the Estrella Mountains as well as that 18th hole you just wrapped up on.

Great layout

This is a great golf course. It had just reopened after overseeding so cart path only. Greens were pretty furry, so slow

It will be really great in a few more days

I will definitely be back once it's had a bit more fine tuning. Great staff, nice clubhouse reasonable prices and good service.

Course is in horrible condition

I moved to Maricopa last year and this was my first opportunity to play this course. I was so looking forward to playing so I was shocked to see what horrible condition the course is in. The grass in the fairways has burned up, so it’s like hitting the ball off of bare ground, and in some cases almost like concrete. I had been reading all of their hype about how it is one of the top golf courses in the Phoenix area and all of Arizona. Those claims are not only misleading, but might be outright fraudulent. I paid for myself, my son and his wife. It was so disappointing, but on a positive note I did get to spend 4+ hours with my kids.

Great value

Prices were great and the course is pretty forgiving for us high handicappers.

Only one negative to pass along to the management.

I’ve been there twice now and both times I have noticed a strong sewer gas smell in the restaurant, bar area.

Seems like a plumbing issue that needs to be fixed.

I will definitely play here again.

The staff was very helpful and friendly too.
