Ahwatukee Golf Properties acquires third Ariz. club

The Duke Golf Club in Maricopa joins Ahwatukee Country Club and Ahwatukee Lakes in AGP’s portfolio.

The Duke Golf Club in Maricopa, Ariz., was acquired by Ahwatukee Golf Properties. The Duke Golf Club, a 7,011-yard, David Druzisky-designed golf course joins the other two clubs in the Ahwatukee Golf Properties portfolio, Ahwatukee Country Club and Ahwatukee Lakes.

“We are pleased to add The Duke Golf Club to our portfolio of courses in this scenic corner of the Valley of the Sun,” says Terry Duggan, president of Ahwatukee Golf Properties. “The Duke is an exceptional and very complementary addition to our other two facilities. We are excited to offer our members of Ahwatukee Country Club and Duke Saddle Club Members reciprocal benefits at all three of our venues. We are also pleased to offer Duke Gold Card holders with preferred rates at Ahwatukee Country Club and Ahwatukee Lakes Golf Club”.

Duggan also noted that, “The acquisition of The Duke uniquely positions AGP to also now offer area golfers three very distinct venue options, thereby allowing us through the creation of new programs, to provide our customers with both playability and value choices not available from other area competitors.

“We will continue to provide a high conditioned course, well appointed clubhouse and full service restaurant operation at the Silver Spur Grill. AGP has retained ongoing support from OB Sports in the form of an affiliate marketing partnership, in order to ensure The Duke’s Gold cardholders maintain the OB Sports travel benefits afforded to them at other popular area clubs. Our simple and singular goal is to provide our golfers with the best possible golfing experience through excellent course conditioning, value pricing, and superior customer service.”

Ahwatukee Golf Properties plans to quickly unveil some new playing programs at all three properties including, the addition of weekly league play and tournaments, junior clinics, reduced twilight rates and a “3 Club Summer Card” program that will allow virtually unlimited summer golf for only a cat fee at our three properties.
