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.

Conditions are Good
I've played here allot. This year the course is in rather good shape. Fairways and greens are nice. Rough is dormant grass, not too penalizing. Staff is friendly as always. Prices went up this year like everywhere else, but it's close and fun to play.
u405413840, thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing The Duke at Rancho El Dorado.
Okay
Pace of play continues to be an issue here. There was a twosome ahead of my twosome and a foursome in front of them. Better tee sheet management is desired. To make matters worse a single jumped ahead of us on the back 9 which backed things up even more.
Fairways were in good shape and greens rolled true. Greens were however spray painted green, not sure why. I got a great deal on golfnow, otherwise there is no way I would pay what they are asking for.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Hi, rkrasucki. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at The Duke at Rancho El Dorado!
Pace
They let a group of 6 (not a foursome) play 2 groups ahead of us slowing down the pace tremendously. Did not see a renter on the course all day..
Thank you for your review, u8028329. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at The Duke at Rancho El Dorado. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Solid value
With the exception of the pace of play (4:30 and waited on every hole), the course was in good shape and a good value for the money. Really like the layout except for #1 which suffers from too close to the range and poor penalty area placement. Would definitely play again but not at full price.

We’ll worth the drive
Played the Duke for the first time. The course conditions were excellent. Greens ran true. Fairways were in great shape overall. There were a few patches where the winter grass was still coming in. Traps were in excellent shape. Course layout was interesting. Plenty of room between the fairways and the houses to the sides. Didn’t feel claustrophobic like some courses. Place of lay was good. We finished our round in 3:45. Will be back soon!
