Overall good but has potential to be better.

Great layout, just need a bit more maintenance and attention to the details to make it more worth the price. Staff was excellent!

Ranger Required for pace of play

It took about 51/2 hours to do a round of golf. Twice there was FIVE groups waiting on a tee, once on the front nine and once on the back. There should be a Ranger to keep up pace of play. If there is a Ranger someone should train them how to do the job. Other than that the course is very nice and the staff very friendly

Fun course

Fun course, the t blocks, fairway and green were in good shape. Like many of the course since Covid have not maintained their bunkers. Little to no sand, wish they would just fill them in if they cannot maintain. Overall enjoyed the course and the staff was helpful and Courteous.

Classless Pro Shop

No class in the Pro Shop:

If I could give The Duke 0 stars I would. In summary, they charged me for an additional tee time I never made and they can not provide email confirmation proof that I made this change. Unfortunately, I’ve seen similar posts on the course.

On January 13, I made a reservation at this golf course for 3 people. Confirmation number xxxxxxxxx. On January 25, I called and requested an “additional” tee time for 4 more right next to the original if possible. This 2nd tee time was booked. On the day of play, we had 7 players just as planned. Two days later I notice an additional charge on my card. I called the GM and provided the necessary proof of 3 and 4. We exchanged a couple of emails and I ask him for proof of change. He sends me a photo crop of their computer and then proceeds to tell me “the system doesn’t send them an email confirmation for every tee time”. In essence, no “real” proof the change from 3 to 4 was made. Interestingly, he asked me if my group was just visiting or if we were locals. I told him visiting – he has ghosted me on communications ever since. I’ve turned this over to my cc company. As for the course, don’t make the drive. It was average at best. Longbow, Lone Tree, and others are much nicer and closer to the city with competitive pricing.
