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.

What cheek

The greenkeeper starts overseeding work befor we finished, he doesn't give way on the fairway!
Fairways and greens are in a desolate condition. No grass thats effects dust, quit a lot of dust.
To cap it all - we have to pay the full green-fee.
Wow what an awful day

Speedy Morning round

Teed off at 630 am - we zoomed around in 2.5 hrs. Staff let us go early and with 2 people it was a fast round!
We had breakfast after we finished. The food was great and plentiful. Worth staying to enjoy the food and drink.

Awesome course and friendly staff

Booked this course for a bachelor party, had a last minute addition to make it 5 guys instead of 4 and the guy in the pro shop was extremely understanding and accommodated the change. Course is in great condition, each hole is challenging in its own way. The bunker sand is soft and light. Course has an awesome spur logo and they sell hats with them on it in the pro shop. Highly recommend playing this course, it’s absolutely worth the drive from Phoenix.

Speedy Round @ Duke

We got moved up in our time as someone didn't arrive. We sped around the course for 3.5 hrs. Love the layout with the variety of holes - good desert course.

Duke review

Great practice facility, grass driving range, large chipping and putting greens. Fairways and greens in good shape. Perimeter is rough desert like conditions, to be expected. One of the better price point courses I have found as many others have gotten stupid expensive !

great course

Have played this course many times over the years, can be a challenge however the lay out of this course on some of the holes can cause a player to over cook shots. Lay-up can be your friend.

Greens were pretty rough. Had to go through a river to get to one of the holes in your golf cart course. Need a lot more. Attention in certain areas not worth $100
