Happy We Played Here

Really enjoyed the day. We arrived early and they said we could tee off whenever we pleased, which was appreciated.

The course was quiet so it took us only 3 hours to play 18 holes.

I enjoyed the course and scored well,, so would like to return.

My girlfriend however, was not quite so keen as she managed, much to my glee, to land in a bunker on almost every hole. (the course has plenty of bunkers). She scores better than me on a routine basis so on this day at least, the Universe unfolded as it should.

The course is in great shape and everyone we encountered from the time we arrived until the time til we left was very friendly.

Enjoyed Our Game

This may not be the most challenging course we will ever play but the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. It all started with a sincere welcome which was much appreciated. They did everything they could to ensure we knew what we needed to know before we headed out to play. We were treated from the get go like their favourite regular guests. Nothing pretentious about this course. They even invited us to take our golf cart to the parking lot which made the whole club transfer thing a lot easier.

Beautiful, Challenging Course

Booked this for my 65th birthday and my only disappointment was how poorly I played.

I found the course to be tough but fair. I managed to get myself in every bit of trouble the course had to offer but that was entirely on me. I was reminded of Robin Williams’ commentary on golf as I hacked and slashed my way from one problem to the next.

This is a great course with beautiful vistas and a challenging layout.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to test their game. If you are an average golfer as I am, don’t worry about your score and just enjoy the chance to visit this gem of a course.

Enjoyed Playing Here Once Again

We usually visit Arizona for a two week stint every year and during that time always play The Duke a couple times. The.staff are always cordial and as intermediate level golfers we find the course challenging but not too challenging. Whenever friends are visiting the area we always recommend this course. We will keep coming back.

Appreciated The Staff Friendliness

We have played this course once or twice a year for the past several years. My only complaint was the attitude of the staff and I would have been just as happy playing elsewhere. My partner, however, really enjoys the course so we have kept returning. We played again yesterday and couldn't have been happier with how accommodating and friendly the staff were. Please do whatever you can to sustain this. The positive reception made our visit our most enjoyable to date.

Enjoyed Our Round

I was a little trepidacious about golfing at this course but we couldnt have enjoyed ourselves more. The staff were friendly and helpful and the course interesting and challenging, but not too challenging. The course is in pretty good condition and the greens that other raters found challenging were not too, too tough.

We are average golfers but believe golfers of all levels would enjoy playing here. The price point was great as we found a Hot Deal rate.

Had a closeup encounter with a coyote which was an added bonus.

We will be back.

An Old Favorite

We have been coming to Francisco Grande for a number of years, usually in May.

After a long golf hiatus forced by our northern winters, we use this course to get our games back into shape. We have often had the course pretty much to ourselves which is great when we are there, but clearly indicative that at least in May, they don't have many golfers. We were disappointed in how dry things were this time. We do understand that this is Arizona and it does get hot here, but there are other courses nearby that are in greener condition. While they are doing some work on the course but it would be great if they could invest in better irrigation systems to keep things green. I hope they can find a way to get that done.

That being said, we will be back because it is always a feel good course for us. It is a stress free track that can be enjoyed no matter what your skill level.

If you do visit make sure you take the time to understand what the Francisco Grande Resort was back in its heyday in the 1960s. There are some great photos of some legendary ball players who trained (and golfed) here.

If you are able, also take the time to enjoy their dining facilities. Great service and great food
