Greens are awesome

This is a solid course.

The good:

- practice facility is nice

- bar and grill have beautiful views

- Fairways are in good shape

The Bad

- rough is not great

- sand traps are fair not great

Definitely worth playing when under $100

Staff never asked or offered insight on course layout to first timers. Definitely a locals course with us visitors being out of place. Carts were dirty with no GPS. Had to find my own scorecard. Took your money and sent you on your way. Too many good courses in area to play this one again.

Great Course!

It's always a pleasure to play The Duke. However, like all Phoenix-area golf courses it is expensive.

Overall good but has potential to be better.

Great layout, just need a bit more maintenance and attention to the details to make it more worth the price. Staff was excellent!
