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.

Who punches greens in the middle of summer? Every course in the valley, that's who. It's necessary. I have seen courses do it 3 times, June, July, and August.

Monsoon Rain

Even after a monsoon the night before the course wasn't overly soggy. No downed trees. A little humid but that's to be expected. Never felt like the group behind was pushing us. Great day to play rather than on the holiday of July 4th.

More directional sign would be of benefit to first time players.

The over watering caused some mud issues, the greens were in pretty good/bad shape. Most greens fair on speed and condition, enjoyable couse.Would play again.

Spoiled a good morning

Very Nice greens, challenging layout, and always a good game, but lack of a Marshall and ridiculous slow play for a 6:30 morning tee time makes it a hard choice to go back.
