Fun time

Employees at the course are nice. Round was 4:!5, so fairly fast. Fun course, interesting holes, nice layout. Pretty open but has difficulty if you do not play to the proper spot.

Outside people the worst

Ignored me all together. I finally put my clubs on a cart and went to the tee when my time came. Not a word spoken to me. I would have went to the wrong tees if I hadn't over heard somebody say they were starting on the back nine. Cart lady very rude when I asked for a alcohol free beverage. There was no Marshall on course to enforce pace of play. Just a HORRIBLE day.

Nice course, fun course

Very nice course, but a little out of the way from Phoenix. Good course for intermediate golfers as there is not a lot of trouble.

Looking Good

Course cart part only for the next two weeks. Fairways playing longer due to over seed. Greens are slow but rolling true. Enjoyable round.

BKR

Glad to get on the course again after the overseed process was complete.

I reside in Rancho Eldarado so the Duke is in the middle of our neighborhood. Great course and would like to become a member at this course soon.

Cart Path Only

Before a person books a tee time you should state it is cart path only! When I booked it stated 90 degree was in effect. Other than this issue the course was fun!

Greens: very slow due to overseeding but the were consistent.

Fairways: wide open and in good shape, a couple areas will need additional grass seed.

Rough: thick and wet in some areas

Fringe: thick but it was smooth.

Tee boxes: it good shape and easy to hit off of.

Pace of play: was very steady

The Duke is fun to play

The course is coming out of oversees and is in very good condition. Greens are slow at this point but will change as the grass takes hold. A course that can be played by players of all levels.

Good for the $ paid

The course had been recently over seeded so the greens were slow. Some wet areas in the fairway,but overall not a bad course. We would play it again

No maintenance warning

Golf course had begun the overseed process. I understand this happens this time of year, however, there was no warning from the course on the GolfNow site or the course website. Courses NEED to give a warning. Tees on the front nine were covered with dethatched grass that was 2 inches deep. Had to use my foot to clear them off. Fairways were not being watered, sand traps are full of rocks. I would never have played this course if I had known of the major maintenance being done. The good thing is that I called GolfNow and they refunded my money. I will never play this again!
