Water hazards (ponds and creeks) come into play on eight holes. The
signature hold is #14; a 399-yard par 4 requiring a blind shot, then
a downhill approach shot to a small green that is guarded in front

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.
