About this stay
Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club is Durham's clearest resort-style property, built around its own 18-hole championship golf course directly on Duke University's campus, with an indoor pool and hot tub available alongside meeting facilities for a genuinely upscale stay. Every classically decorated room includes a 37-inch flat-screen TV with cable and HBO, tea and coffee-making facilities and a minibar. Guests can choose among three on-site restaurants, including the Fairview Dining Room for fine dining with locally grown ingredients and the more casual Bull Durham Bar for lunch and dinner. A fitness centre with free weights and cardiovascular equipment rounds out the wellness amenities. The property sits a 5-minute walk from Koskinen Stadium, 11 miles from the Streets at Southpoint shopping district, and 3 miles from Durham city centre, giving guests genuine quiet without total isolation. Couples rate this the highest of any Durham property for a two-person trip.

Our take
This suits couples or golfers wanting a genuine resort-style stay on Duke's own campus, complete with spa services and three dining options. The indoor pool and hot tub set it apart from every other Durham hotel on this axis. Travelers on a budget or wanting a walkable downtown scene should look toward the American Tobacco District hotels instead.
- Book the Fairview Dining Room ahead for a special dinner, it is the property's most requested table.
- Request a golf-course-facing room specifically, standard rooms otherwise face the parking area instead of the fairways.
- Use the hot tub after a round of golf, it is one of only two hot tubs available anywhere in Durham.
Why we love it
