Golfer Reviews
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.
Hello, Mario15. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing The Duke at Rancho El Dorado.
A Great Arizona Golf Course.
It is playing golf on hallowed ground (John Wayne land).
BreyleyGolf, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Duke at Rancho El Dorado.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u00000844763. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. The Duke at Rancho El Dorado thanks you!
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.

Feel free to comment on this review or reach out to the team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback.

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.

I really enjoy the course it is very generous off the tees yet challenging around the greens so a good test of golf

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.
