Championship Golf in Duke Forest
See the Golf CourseA Robert Trent Jones Sr. original, in the heart of Duke Forest
Refined by Rees Jones and framed by towering Carolina pines, Duke University Golf Club sits steps from the Washington Duke Inn and is open to everyone: students, alumni, guests and golfers from across the Triangle.
Eighteen holes carved through the pines
Tree-lined corridors ask for every club in the bag, with bold greens and the rolling ground of the Piedmont, from the Blue Devil tees down to the Green.
