Great Value

Had a great time at The Duke. We were behing a really slow 4 some and it backed up my foursome and two groups behind us. No ranger to help that but still finished in 4 hours. Likely coulda saved 30-45 minutes. Grass was great all around! Sand was decent mostly but not raked well. Greens were awesome! For the price there isnt a much better value

great course as usual

had my best round of my life. been golfing since 1986 and i was one under at 15.. then there were a foursome in front i caught up to (I was single) and they were doing donuts on the par 3 fairway. I didnt want to be around them so i left and it was full at the rest of the holes so i left. Course is very easy and fun to play. Been a professional long driver for 20 years and if you can drive it far and straight here there are plenty of birdies to get

Fun

One of the most enjoyable courses I have played. Coming from New England it was really enjoyable to have some wide open fairways. Course was fun and priced well. I think it is worth the trip in the Phoenix area.

Worth the drive

The drive from Glendale was about an hour and 10 minutes. At first, my wife thought that was too far to go. But I got a good discounted rate, and had never played here before. Course conditions were nice, the greens are fast and it’s hard to lose a golf ball here.

My wife bragged to some friends about how beautiful the course was. So I guess it was worth the drive.
