Resort Overview

Located in the heartland of North Carolina, on the campus of Duke University, the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club is nestled into a 300-acre site, which includes the Duke University Golf Course and acres of tall pines and hardwoods. Only 20 minutes from Raleigh-Durham International Airport and 15 minutes from Research Triangle Park, the Inn features 171 elegantly-appointed guest rooms and suites, the award-winning Fairview Restaurant, the Bull Durham Lounge and superb meeting facilities for groups from twenty to four hundred.

Golf Overview

The Duke University Golf Club's championship golf course is regarded as one of the top university golf courses in the United States. Originally designed by the late Robert Trent Jones, legendary golf course architect, the course was recently renovated by Jones' son, Rees Jones, who revived his father's masterpiece. The Duke Golf Club course was praised by coaches and golfers alike during our hosting of the NCAA Men's Golf Championships in May 2001.
