Duran Golf Club: Championship Course

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.

They just opened and redid all the greens. They only have the back open, which would have been nice to know prior to booking and paying for the round. The course was in outstanding condition. The greens looked wonderful, they were a little slow, but I'm quite sure that once everything is completed and the greens fill in a little bit, they will be outstanding. The other bummer was, the bar was also closed and there was no beverage cart. I think I'm gonna just wait a while before going back. I'll call and make sure everything is up and running before paying again.

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.

Played 11/26, felt like a mediocre muni. Bar/grille/staff top notch the course likely needs a different maintenance crew. Layout is very nice, the water rarely comes into play. Tee boxes are over seeded-nice! The greens were really rough and fairways vary between being water logged and sparse. Was surprised at how many mud balls I had from the center of the fairway. Any day on the course beats work but for $80 I won’t come back. I passed up some $30 green fees in the area thinking I would get what I paid for and I did not. One star at best and that’s because of the staff- not the maintenance crew(s).

I'm only rating for this particular day. We were told that the course had just reopened the same day, and we were the 16th set of people so far. We had to play the back 9 holes twice because the front wasn't yet available. Cart path only. Making decisions on club usage tough. On top of that the course was very wet. Balls were being lost even in the fairway and short grass. If your ball couldn't be found it was buried. It was a very annoying round of golf.
