We have been going to Duran since it opened as we are locals and love the course. The greens and fairways were great the staff not so much. Upon arriving the golf shop we were greeted by a very unfriendly, non smiling, and rude staff. As if that wasn’t bad enough we proceeded to the T box on number 1 ten minutes early and there were no groups in front or behind us. I asked if we could T off and the starter said no because he didn’t want us holding up the invisible group behind us. I said that makes no sense there’s nobody behind us and he asked is there an issue? I said yes there is and he just walked off. Not a good way to to have an “exceptional “ day of golf. I’m pretty sure this was an isolated incident because we have never experienced such treatment before. Looking at some of the other reviews it may start becoming a trend, I hope not. The Duran rates are more than other local courses as well if you check around. Ok another update. Went back and the course is in BAD condition! For the amount in the summer they are charging your better off going to another course. I have never seen it in such bad shape.
Great course. Good condition. Good customer service. Slow play can be an issue because a lot of people have moved to the area. Which is common is Florida nowadays. My biggest complaint is the Greens keeper. The pin placements are awful. This guy or whomever is doing it, will place the hole in the most inconvenient and ridiculous places on the green. Duran, fire the guy who places the holes in the morning. He’s ruined many great rounds for the last 8 years.
Course conditions can fluctuate so quickly in Florida if there is a period of tough weather. But playing on 5/30/2025, the course was in great condition. Especially great value for the afternoon rate on weekdays. Brendan, working the carts, was immensely friendly. The golf course was fun to play. I will certainly be back.
