Kimberton Golf Club, which opened in 1962, has stood the test of time. Well known golf course designer George Fazio created a nice mix of holes about 45 minutes northwest of Philadelphia. The golf course isn't overly long and doesn't feature a lot of trouble, but it's long on fun. The signature par-4 third, a dogleg right around woods, is a pretty hole and worth the trip. Kimberton Golf Club is a just good old-fashioned, Philadelphia-style golf course.

Nice Greens

Greens were quick and challenging. Fairways were nice and healthy. Rough was okay and a good length. Some tee boxes were dead crabgrass and some were in great shape. Overall a good round for the price. Not enough water on the course and the pace of play was agonizing. Although I was in a twosome on a Saturday so I guess I can't complain too much.

A Favorite

This is one of my favorite courses to play around my area. The course is challenging, and the grounds are kept well above average.

The pro-shop & bar are great for a quick check-in & a drink to go off with.

Straight Forward Golf in Southeastern Pennsylvania

The majority of par 4s on this course are straightforward holes, 350-450 yards with one bunker off the fairway and one closer to the green. The course is a great place to play if you're in the process of developing your game, or don't want to have to work to hard to strategize your play. The course was in good condition and had, again, straightforward greens. Everyone I came into contact with, staff and other players, were friendly, and other players were mindful of pace of play. Sprinklers did go off on me as I was shooting a birdie putt on 17, but it was 94 degrees outside, so it was kind of refreshing.

Disorganized staff and Slow Play

There wasn't a starter which created a disorganized start for our round. The pace of play was nearly 5 hours. There wasn't staff to move play along. The course is in poor shape. I would not return to play again nor recommend it for others. There also was limited water for golfers on a hot day.

Nothing special but a great place to learn

This is one of those courses that you go back to because it pads your stats. Very easy straight forward. It's the perfect place to get out of a slump and focus on your fundamentals. With that said it's a little boring l. The greens are not very very challenging other than the fact that they are not rolled so the chance of getting a one putt is very low. I've seen putts break uphill. The biggest problem is not the course management it's the people that play here. No one repairs there divets on or off the green (or knows that's a thing). I have to credit the grounds keeper as I played here one day after the course had been empty for two days... the turf was amazing the bunkers were raked the tee box cut and even the greens completely restored. If you golf here respect the course! Repair your divets and this course will completely change for the better.

Don't play in the afternoon on a weekday

It's a good thing I got a deal to play for $10. Like every single round here, I got to the tee at my tee time and had to wait. A father-son 2-some ahead of us had no concern for taking too long and didn't let us play through. The kid was a beginner, which is totally fine, but you can't be lining up for a minute and hitting every single shot. Beginner or not, you shouldn't be taking 10 shots every hole. We past 2 kids at the 3rd tee box around 13 years old who told us to play through because they were waiting for friends. They ended up meeting with 4 other kids and played as a group of 6, hitting balls all over the place, running around and yelling. We played several holes with them treating the course like a playground right next to our tee or green. The ranger was driving around and had to have seen this going on. We arrive at the 10th tee to find 3 4-somes from a league ready to start. Not only did they not let us through, we got stuck behind 1 group, but then went on joking around and laughing as we tee'd off. The ranger was standing right there. When we mentioned the 2-some ahead being too slow he acknowledged he knew about it. As for the course, the tee boxes are uneven and some have turf like a thick welcome mat. The fairways are good. The greens are in good condition aside from the numerous unrepaired pitch marks.

Fantastic Value

For under $20, Kimberton is a fantastic deal. The greens are surprisingly true although a bit slow. It's is a great course for the beginner golfer and a fun layout for the experienced player looking to put up a low number. Keep in mind the place isn't a country club: some of the tee boxes are uneven, a few bumps on some greens, not the shortest fairways. But, the course is well enough maintained to make for an enjoyable round and the staff is very courteous and even offered me a free yardage book. Props to Kimberton for improving the condition of the course and offering fair rates through golf now.

Nice little track but plan on being there your whole day

Course was in good condition, fairly easy track. Some water but wide open for the most part. I am an 8-10 handicap and did not lose a ball to any woods. Greens are in good shape and there are some fun holes on the back 9 ... Overall I would give the course an 8/10 in playability and upkeep.

However, this place suffers from some of the worst pace of play issues I have ever experienced. When we showed up for our tee time at 3:30pm on a Friday there were 3 foursomes waiting to tee off. We decided to tee off from 10 since we did not feel like waiting and the back seemed wide open. We got through the back 9 in about 2 hours and it was when we got back to 1 to play the front when I realized I probably would never play there again.

Again there was a backup of 2 foursome's. The first foursome was a father with his son and daughter, the second foursome was a father with his wife son and daughter. Now I will preface this by saying I am all for younger kids and novices learning the game, but this was painful to sit behind. Not only were we not asked if our two-some wanted to play through but we sat at each tee box for at least 20 minutes watching the newbie golfers hit wild shot after wild shot and continue to play each ball instead of picking up. We got through hole number 5 in about 1:15 before calling it quits and heading to the clubhouse to pack it up. We were looking at a 3-3.5 hour back nine which is unacceptable to me. If I was trying to play a quick nine after work it would not be possible here.

Overall, not a bad course but make sure you call ahead before booking a tee time.

Nice Day on the Links

Got an awesome deal through Golfnow to play yesterday. For $15, this course was well worth the drive out to play.

The course was in pretty good shape for late May. We teed off at 215 and played at a pretty quick pace. Did not wait on a single hole for the entire round. Was almost as if we had the whole course to ourselves. The course itself was in pretty good shape. Looks like the greens were just aerated within the last couple weeks but they weren't much of an issue. Fairways were average and the rough was playable. Looked like there was a men's league coming in around 6ish so we got out of there just in time.

Overall, a very pleasant day on the course. Great pace of play and decent course conditions considering the rock bottom price we played for, it was well worth the drive. We will return.

For this time of the year the course was in good shape. Greens had been plugged but putted OK. My wife and I had a nice round of golf.

Nice Day

A solid rain the day before, but conditions remained very nice. Pace of play was great, greens were well maintained as were most of the tee boxes. Weather couldn't have been better and finished up in about 3 hours and 45 min.
