About Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club

Although Duke University is known as a basketball school, the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club is as good a college golf/hotel facility in the country. Located on 300 forested acres on the edge of the Duke Forest, the Inn was built to mimic an English country estate. It is an elite conference center with fine dining, a bar and afternoon tea. A fitness center, indoor pool and 3.1-mile walking/running trail are available in addition to the Robert Trent Jones Sr. course redesigned by his son, Rees. A modern sister property, the JB Duke Hotel, is across the street.

One of the Triangle's best

Simply put, Duke University Golf Club is annually rated one of the top public facilities in the state of North Carolina for a reason. The course is in immaculate shape, the staff is top notch, and the amenities are second to none.

I would recommend this course to anyone. Also, try to go with a Duke staff member during the week because it knocks the cost down to $35/person.

Best course in Durham

I haven't played every course in Durham, but it would be hard to imagine a golf course that is better than this one. The course conditions are superb and you never play the same hole twice.
