FLOODED

Course was flooded on the front nine. Sign in the pro shop window that said “please tee off on hole 10 today. Thanks, management”

Happens occasionally, maybe they had a large outing or something earlier where they needed to shuffle around the layout, ok. When I went in to the pro shop, there was no one in the shop after walking around looking for someone. Teed off on 10 as the sign suggested. Finished the first 9 and went to make the turn onto the first hole. Teed off and hit my second shot over what I thought would be some standing water, go to drive towards my ball and the place to cross is completely flooded. No Marshall in sight, no one to stop us from making the turn so we cut our loses on the ball that was now unretreievable and jumped to the next hole. Went to head towards the second tee box and access to the second tee box is also flooded. 3rd hole was fine and as you approach the 4th tee box, you guessed it, flooded again. No way to reach the 5th hole and on as the course layout does not allow you to continue on. Frustrating to pay for 18 and really only get 9 in.

1st Tee Confusion

We have played The Duke several times and always enjoy the course. This time, my wife and I booked as a twosome. As our tee time approached, the starter seemed very confused as they re-arranged some of the tee times. We ended up being delayed by about 10 minutes, and we got sent out alone as a twosome. Not a huge deal, just made for an awkward start to the day.

Water didn't drain well

Played a day after a downpour. Holes 1,2 were flooded and muddy right off the fairway and puddles on the fairway. It didn't disturb play but driving the carts in the water wasn't ideal.

Play was slower as most typical muni courses.

Greens were nice and tricky at times.

Overall value was fine and I would play again if the weather prior was better.
