The Duke at Rancho El Dorado is a championship, 18-hole golf facility designed by David Druzinsky. This desert links style course offer generous fairways and a scenic view of the natural desert sage and brush surrounding. The difficulty lies in the slope of putting green so golfers beware.

The Duke at Rancho El Dorado is a par-72 golf course that measures 7,011 yards from the back tees.

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.

Pretty fair condition

Easy to find. Easy check in. Can’t take carts to car. Ice in chests and sand on carts. Carts getting used and wind shield pretty hazy. Tees getting chewed. Fairways good. Roughs are playable. Bunkers with sand. Greens putt nice and are fairly fast. Water buckets for towels. Drinking water on course. Lots of brush removal going on. Played in 3:40. Price fair today

Greens are awesome

This is a solid course.

The good:

- greens are excellent and fast

- practice facility is nice

- bar and grill have beautiful views

- Fairways are in good shape

The Bad

- rough is not great

- sand traps are fair not great

Definitely worth playing when under $100

Staff never asked or offered insight on course layout to first timers. Definitely a locals course with us visitors being out of place. Carts were dirty with no GPS. Had to find my own scorecard. Took your money and sent you on your way. Too many good courses in area to play this one again.

Great Course!

It's always a pleasure to play The Duke. However, like all Phoenix-area golf courses it is expensive.
