Duke in June

Overall the course is in decent shape for June in AZ. Greens had recently been aerated so were a little bumpy and slow, should be good in another week or two. Fairways were spotty but not nearly as bad as other courses played in the past few weeks.

heat stroke

Yesterday as I finished the 17th hole I realized that the heat (108) had very slowly worn me down to the place where I would not be able to finish the whole round. Knowing i was in trouble I skipped 18 and proceeded to the clubhouse. upon arrival I was so weak I couldn't ever put my head covers on and get to my car to leave. All of the staff was very kind and attentive upon realizing I was heat compromised offering water and AC. Unfortunately this didn't keep me from vomiting uncontrollably inside the cashers office and outside by the waiting bench. I cannot express my thanks to the staff and numerous players for their kindness and concern and can only say how sorry i am for the inconvenience that my illness caused. THANKS TO ALL

This course is in much better shape than it was a year ago and I would recommend anyone looking to play a round and not spend a lot of money, The Duke is a great option the pace was good the staff is friendly and the course is not as easy as it looks .

This course is a great value

This course is in good shape and the staff were all very nice. This was my first time actually playing the course and it looks like an easy course but it is challenging. There are houses along all of this course but they far enough away from the fairway to not be a concern. Overall this course is fun challenging and well worth the price to play. I will definitely keep this course as must play on my list.

The Duke

Greens were in good shape. Fairways were cut short and it was like hitting ito concrete. Areas alongside fairways were just dirt and weeds.

Most bunkers were unplayable with mud. Very dissapointing overall.

Good Value

I play this course quite a bit. Pretty open but there are a few holes that require some shot making. Course was already getting dry which seemed earlier than usual. Really good rates as we get into the summer season.

Nice Course

The Duke was in great shape from the tees, to fairways to greens and lots of nice sand in the bunkers. Finished in 3.5 hours on a Sunday and hardly waited on any teebox, etc. Staff was friendly and restaurant was very good. All around great experience.

Longer drive but worth it.

The staff was excellent and very helpful with whatever we needed. A bonus was eating at their restaurant after the round. Great food, service and cold beverages.
