Totally Classless Pro Shop Staff

Reserved via GolfNow for Wed; we could not make it and spoke with course same day. Assured reservation would be canceled at no cost; we reserved for Thursday and played at 6:58AM. Now they are charging me for "no show" on Wed.

Totally classless, after our 3some also spent another $300+ in the pro shop.

Would not recommend this course under any circumstances.

The Duke

Course condition was very good compared to many others I've played here in the past few weeks. Greens are not at all bumpy and fairways are green and lush in most spots.

Only draw back was that we were the second group out and it still took 4 hours and 20 minutes to finish, as we waited on every shot. And twice we waited while 2 of them fished balls out of the lake for about 5 minutes.

Very frustrating...

Good Condition, Fair Track

The course was nice and fun. It was not too difficult. The greens were fast as well as the fairways. It is not the closest to Phoenix or Scottsdale, but it is worth a drive. Especially considering the value compared to some of the other courses.

Favorite

The Duke has been a favorite for many years. Usually in good condition, and always fun. It can play slow at times. On this occasion we only hit a slowdown on the last 4 holes. This time we paid $84, which is about the top end of what I feel is fair for this course. I hope to be back as long as they don’t price me out.

Greens are in good shape and it was enjoyable. A little rough around the edges but if you stay in the fairway it’s fine.

Solid Course

Not very experienced with desert golf but compared to the few I’ve played, The Duke was quite good. Decent tee boxes, well kept fairways, and firm and playable greens. The rough was made up a reasonable amount of dormant grass before getting to the desert. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were green. The practice area was well kept. Large driving range, chipping green and a large putting green. Very good staff and good signage on the course. There was a hold up some place ahead of us which meant we waited a minute or two on every tee box but we still finished in 4H 10M so this is not a complaint but an observation. We really like the course and would recommend it to anyone.

In pretty good shape

Easy to find easy check in. Can’t take carts to car. Sand bottles and ice chest on fairly cleaned carts. Water bucket for towels. Water on course for us. Tees good. Fairways roll pretty nice. Bunkers with adequate sand. Greens roll nice. Busy played in 4:20. Price getting up there. Good place to eat at Asian Bistro just into town
