the worst
I have played courses all over the valley and the duke was hands down, without question, the absolute worst course I've played. Not only here but anywhere. ever. avoid at all costs
Great layout
4 of us played and had a great time. Weather was good. Greens rolled really nice and a little quick. Overall generous fairways and decent shape. A couple rough spots but overall good. 18 is a great finishing hole. Ate at the restaurant and food was excellent and the service (Kiki) was outstanding.
The Duke
Fairways were somewhat spotty. Fairways were tight but fair. Greens very fast.
poor management
Due to lack of starter and overbooking we teed off about 20 minutes later than our reservation. 2 slow foursomes ahead of us which involved us waiting on every hole. No ranger appeared until the back nine, but problem not solved. To add insult to injury bar and bathrooms closed when we finished around 5pm apparently because of a wedding. Was not worth the drive for us to come from Gilbert.
Pretty good to play
Easy to find. Easy check in. Carts can’t go to car. Sand bottles and ice chest on carts. Water bucket for towels. Tees good. Fairways good roughs ok bunkers with some sand greens are pretty fast. Played in 3:54 price now is better. Water for us on course
Would Like to play again
We played on Easter weekend and waited on groups ahead of us on every shot and they had a group ahead of them, the group behind us rolled there balls up on us a few times once while we were still putting on the green. There wasn't a Marshal monitoring pace of play so feel that could have been the issue. We hadn't played the Duke for a couple years and were excited to get out there and made the best of our day.
Good experience
Pace of play is always first priority for me. Very little waiting on the course and I liked the combo tees offered on the score card. Long ride but I will play again.
Duke - 0416
Course is in decent shape for another transition time of year. Greens held and rolled good. Fairways had grass, bonus for April.
More reasonable price now
Easy to find. Easy check in carts can’t go to car. Ice chests and sand bottles on carts. Tees only slightly chewed. Fairways good. Roughs good and bunkers with good sand. Greens pretty fast and putt nicely played in 4 hrs. Prices coming down
BKR Duke 4-14-2025
Great 9 holes with overall course condition above average. Staff provide for a friendly environment. We had dinner as well and all was above satisfactory.
Course in good shape
The course was in good shape and a fun course to play. Enjoy the challenging holes and the bunkers were in decent shape. Overall a great course to play.
