The Duke would be proud!
In town for WM Open. 3rd year in a row we played the Duke and it was great again this year too. Staff was amazing and food great after the round on the patio overlooking the 18th green.
Pretty disappointed
It's a nice course but in a state of disrepair. Lots of areas with no grass, the greens were pock marked be cause no one fixes their ball marks and the water was flowing over the cart path on #4. Overall it wasn't worth what we paid, and we won't play it again.
The lady at the bar at the 19th hole was nice but we ordered the loaded nachoes with beef and extra jalapeños. It was a large plate but there was no beef! We told the lady behind the bar about it and she "oh, I told them beef". She didn't offer to get us another plate but when we went to pay she charged us full price, plus more for the extra jalapeños!
It's on my list of "never play again" courses!
Great Potential
A pro challenge from the tips. Large Greens are ridiculously fast with tough pin placements. Needs a little bridgework to accommodate the overflowing stream on the big par 5.. Sand traps are sugary soft ( is this really Arizona?) Friendly staff. Getting into Maricopa with its traffic is the downside. Allow extra time to avoid the panic of a missed time. 🤣
Fun to play
The duke is a nice long course with mostly wide open fairways. The only issue is that if Maricopa has had any rain there are several areas on the course that will be flooded. Depending on the amount of rain it may affect your ability to play from some areas. We had to drive through water a couple of times because the cart path was under water but they did put out stakes to mark the path.
great day for a round of golf!
Course is in reasonably good shape. greens are nice. The odd "flooding" issue, but overall good.
Staff extremely pleasant.
Beautiful day, great company, all around very enjoyable afternoon.
Beautiful Course
Despite the hour frost delay at 28*, me an my buddies had a great time. Course was in great shape, pace was just over 4 hours and the beers were cold. Bartender was a little snobbish but had a great time overall. Will def be back soon.
Pace Too Slow - never saw a marshall
Only finished 15 holes due to darkness. Don’t fault the course for the hour frost delay, but we had 4 groups on both front side par 3’s and that should never happen.
Great Playable Course
The course was in good condition. Greens ran at just the right speed. The speed of play was good. Only one issue. If you book not through the course website, (i.e. Booking through Golf Now or some other 3rd party) be sure to double check that your tee time has actually been made at the course. My booked prepaid tee time was not on their books when I went to check in.
Great challenging course.
