The Duke rocks

I don't travel to this course often but am always reminded how much I love this course layout each time I play. It provides enough variety and is reasonably priced. Practice facilities are very good and staff are friendly. Course was in great shape and I had a great time!

Worth the drive.

While the course is out of the way and more of a locals hangout, it was worth the drive for the money. Fairways were a bit dry and added a lot of roll. The greens were probably punched a week ago, so they were a little bumpy but consistent throughout the course. I would love to play this after seeding is done.

Who punches greens in the middle of summer? Every course in the valley, that's who. It's necessary. I have seen courses do it 3 times, June, July, and August.
