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.

Duke has gone downhill!

If you want to wait on every hole(no rangers), hit onto greens that don't hold are painted and full of ball marks, ride in carts that are filthy and spend 5 hours to play 18 holes then the Duke is the course for you! I have played here for years....not anymore.

Sunrise Hack

The course was in better shape this year. The fairways & rough were much more playable. The greens rolled well & had pretty good speed. The bunkers were improved but varied from hole to hole. Nice white sand on one hole & not so soft dirt on the next. Overall I find the layout challenging & not all tricked out.

The Duke would be proud!

In town for WM Open. 3rd year in a row we played the Duke and it was great again this year too. Staff was amazing and food great after the round on the patio overlooking the 18th green.

Pretty disappointed

It's a nice course but in a state of disrepair. Lots of areas with no grass, the greens were pock marked be cause no one fixes their ball marks and the water was flowing over the cart path on #4. Overall it wasn't worth what we paid, and we won't play it again.
The lady at the bar at the 19th hole was nice but we ordered the loaded nachoes with beef and extra jalapeños. It was a large plate but there was no beef! We told the lady behind the bar about it and she "oh, I told them beef". She didn't offer to get us another plate but when we went to pay she charged us full price, plus more for the extra jalapeños!
It's on my list of "never play again" courses!
