Ahwatukee Golf Properties has purchased The Duke Golf Club in Maricopa, Ariz., from developer El Dorado Holdings for $1.5 million, according to Terry Duggan, president of the Ahwatukee Golf Properties group of clubs.
The Duke, formerly known as The Duke at Rancho El Dorado, joins Ahwatukee Country Club and Ahwatukee Lakes in the Phoenix area-based Ahwatukee group’s portfolio of owned and managed properties.
The Duke is a 7,011-yard course designed by David Druzisky. The daily fee course had previously been operated for the developer by Scottsdale-based OB Sports, who will continue to provide marketing consulting services for the property.
Members of The Duke’s Gold Card club will continue to enjoy reciprocal playing rates and benefits at other OB Sports-managed clubs in the Phoenix area.
