Duke University Golf CLUB
Robert Trent Jones routed the course by cutting it out of Duke Forest, therefore just about every hold is bordered by wonderful woods replete with towering trees. Reese Jones must have kept the original routing, however, he blew up the tee boxes and green complexes and the result is nothing short of stunning. The targets are wonderfully defined and some of the hold are breathtaking. Open year-round.
