Rating 72.7

The Duke at Rancho El Dorado is a championship, 18-hole golf facility designed by David Druzinsky. This desert links style course offer generous fairways and a scenic view of the natural desert sage and brush surrounding. The difficulty lies in the slope of putting green so golfers beware.

The Duke at Rancho El Dorado is a par-72 golf course that measures 7,011 yards from the back tees.

After a round on the Duke at Rancho El Dorado, head to Silver Spur Grill for breakfast, lunch or dinner on the patio, which offers vistas of the Estrella Mountains as well as that 18th hole you just wrapped up on.

Fun course

Good course to play for beginner and intermediate players wide fairways and receptive green. I would have rated the course higher if the greens were not sanded. The balled rolled forever on the fairways which was great for my wife. The best part about this course was lunch at the restaurant. Excellent food and service.

4 hour round

Grass range, putting green and chipping green with bunker to work on your short game before going out was great. Staff was great and I thoroughly enjoyed the lost art of the 4 hour round. Great day out!

Slow play?

We took a Hot deal at 11:15 on a Saturday and weren't paired with anyone? So a 2 some sandwiched in-between 2 4somes and may I add the group in front of us was so slow! We waited almost 5 minutes on every shot. If your only capable of hitting 125 yd drives sideways? Then watch some videos or play best ball. I assume you aren't going to work the next day and telling your buds you shot a 150!!! Last of all did they let us through or was there a Marshall? Of course not.

Eat neighborhood golf course in Arizona

With its wide fairways, tight greens, well placed hazards, and beautiful lawnmenship. This course will challenge you while still making you look like a pro. Whether you are a big man and drive a million miles or you're a master at the short game, these challenging pars make for a well worth trip to this little big town of Maricopa. After you play sit down and enjoy a view of the lake and get served by the most helpful staff. Prices anywhere in Arizona are bipolar but well worth the dime you work for still at a great price. I recommend this course for any ages. My ten year old junior gets to slap it around with the best of them while everyone encourages her. Don't miss this opportunity. This place is my new home course for sure.

Nice course

Good course, TOUGH pin placement on front 9. Idk if it was greens keeper revenge day or what but they were comical. Literally pins placed right next to/on 4’ grade slopes or 4’ away from edge of green. Like for a Sunday pin placement didn’t need to be in incredibly tough spots, pace of play was good but could have been better if groups were not 3 plus putting.

Nice Course

It was my first time playing this course. It was extremely windy and that made things more challenging.
The course was in good shape and the staff are super friendly and helpful.
This course is a little jewel located a little out of the way. I highly recommend giving it a try.
