2023 Arizona Hacks Golf

The overall condition of the fairways & greens were in good shape. The dormant Bermuda wasn't difficult to play from. The fairway bunkers could use a few more rakes. Pace of play was great until we got the par 3's. Evidently there was some kind of game going on because the two groups in front of us were all on the tee box. 15-20 minute was in all 4 par 3's. Still managed to get done in 4hrs & 15 minutes... Could have been well under 4 hours.

Great course, lots of fun.

Great routing

A couple tough par 3's and then nice short one on bag nine.

Greens were protected by traps. They rolled nice.

Great Price for Super Bowl and Waste Management Week.

Course is painted?

Played the front nine for a good price on twilight rate. . Greens and fairways painted green, why do that? Good challenge in the traps and water.

Fun course. Played with a couple from Canada & had a great time. Tee to green was great. Brown rough was still easy to get out. Desert is not a place to play from. Always enjoyed in the past also.

Good course to play

It was in okay conditions only because they just had a big downfall of rain the previous week. Overall course was in good condition. Had to wait an hour after tee time due to frost delay. Definitely coming back but in the morning time to have time to play a full 18.

Nice and affordable

It is a bit of a drive, but we love playing The Duke once or twice each time we are in the PHX area. Course is usually in nice condition and we can usually get an affordable rate.

The Duke

Course has the ability to have a very high potential. Disappointedly poorly staffed, with no course Marshalls, teenagers, (who do not golf) used as course starters, and that for the most part, use the honor system, which has some players jumping ahead in line.
