Favorite

The Duke has been a favorite for many years. Usually in good condition, and always fun. It can play slow at times. On this occasion we only hit a slowdown on the last 4 holes. This time we paid $84, which is about the top end of what I feel is fair for this course. I hope to be back as long as they don’t price me out.

Greens are in good shape and it was enjoyable. A little rough around the edges but if you stay in the fairway it’s fine.

Solid Course

Not very experienced with desert golf but compared to the few I’ve played, The Duke was quite good. Decent tee boxes, well kept fairways, and firm and playable greens. The rough was made up a reasonable amount of dormant grass before getting to the desert. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were green. The practice area was well kept. Large driving range, chipping green and a large putting green. Very good staff and good signage on the course. There was a hold up some place ahead of us which meant we waited a minute or two on every tee box but we still finished in 4H 10M so this is not a complaint but an observation. We really like the course and would recommend it to anyone.

In pretty good shape

Easy to find easy check in. Can’t take carts to car. Sand bottles and ice chest on fairly cleaned carts. Water bucket for towels. Water on course for us. Tees good. Fairways roll pretty nice. Bunkers with adequate sand. Greens roll nice. Busy played in 4:20. Price getting up there. Good place to eat at Asian Bistro just into town

Not like usual

We play here a couple times each winter. Yesterday, the course seemed very dry and hard. Lots of roll. Fairways and greens didn’t seem to have filled in from overseed like they usually do. Still playable and enjoyable.

Morgan was great. Course wasn’t worth the price. We were waiting on two groups ahead of us.
