Aerated Greens

The greens were aerated earlier this week and are rather bumpy. Also several areas that are staked off as ground under repair. I’m happy to see both and shows the grounds crew are taking steps to keep the course in great shape.

First Time Playing

Well maintained in the extreme Arizona heat

Many Phoenix area courses are severely burned & dry this close to the summer, but The Duke is holding up pretty well. Grass where you'd expect it, and actual sand in the bunkers. Severely undulating greens. Overall, it's a great course and the value is great too. Would definitely play again.

Great Value

Had a great time at The Duke. We were behing a really slow 4 some and it backed up my foursome and two groups behind us. No ranger to help that but still finished in 4 hours. Likely coulda saved 30-45 minutes. Grass was great all around! Sand was decent mostly but not raked well. Greens were awesome! For the price there isnt a much better value

great course as usual

had my best round of my life. been golfing since 1986 and i was one under at 15.. then there were a foursome in front i caught up to (I was single) and they were doing donuts on the par 3 fairway. I didnt want to be around them so i left and it was full at the rest of the holes so i left. Course is very easy and fun to play. Been a professional long driver for 20 years and if you can drive it far and straight here there are plenty of birdies to get
