Kimberton Golf Club

Waited to pay for the round. Nobody at register. Some staff at bar but could care less. Play was so slow because nobody had the brains or incentive to pair people up. I saw some reviews about the great staff. I found just the opposite. Felt like a "click" course or maybe the look down on golf-now players. Finally water in the middle of back 9. Plenty of cups empty coolers. Other than that it was wonderful.

Greens rolled well. Course was in good condition. There were a couple of slow foursomes but once they let us play thru it was smooth sailing. It is a nice layout with some challenging holes. Good value for the money

Tee time of 5:57pm Friday night. 1st tee backed up with 2 groups of 4 walking. Staff tells me it's not too crowded out there to just go to empty hole(front nine has atleast 2 groups each. So we go to hole 10 and a husband and wife come off 9 and he is moaning and groaning saying"we r going ahead of them we will be here until 7:30. So his witch wife comes up to us and ask if we got permission to go off 10. I said yes. She says you can't jump in front of people coming off 9. So we went back to 1. Long and slowest round. But I played great because I pretended the ball was the witch and her wimp husband all night. Will not be back.

Easy to walk , nice layout (no hard hat needed for a public course). Would go back m

Really like & enjoyed this course, looking forward to playing here again!!!!!

Aerated greens that were rock hard. Chewed up tee boxes. Staff on the phone, too busy to help.

No one on the course, not hard to figure out why.

Not worth the money.

I feel the course regular pricing is over priced for the condition.
Their continued Golf Now participation could be quite helpful.
I will not pay their regular price to play there.

The greens were fast and smooth fairways and tees were in good shape.

Hadn't played this course in about 35 years, and I didn't notice any change.
Greens in excellent shape, very firm. Stay below the hole at all costs!
For a short course it has several lengthy holes (3 par 4s at 400+, 3 par 3s at 176-208.)
Great value at my $15.90.

This is a great course that will challenge you. It will cause you to think about shot placement and distance. Love the third hole!! The course can be difficult if you make it that way.

The course is not an architectural masterpiece, but generally enjoyable. It has an unpretentious atmosphere which I enjoyed, looks like a fun place to have a casual round and lunch with friends. I live a pretty good distance from the course (about 50 minutes) and it doesn't rank high enough for me to make it a regular stop. I got a very good deal on GolfNow and the course is close to my brother's home so that's what sealed it for me this time. I would recommend Kimberton for someone who is "local", say within 20-30 minutes of the course.
By the way, I've seen other reviews for the course which commented that the greens weren't receptive enough for high approaches intended to stop quickly. I thought the greens were in very good condition and they are generally open enough to allow approaches to bounce/ run on. Personally I enjoy that kind of play.

still a novice, so most courses are challenging for me.

for the most part, the course was open, so it was easy to track balls that went astray.

a bit gnat heavy for some reason.

the greens were fast.

i liked it and will go back.

only one water station on the course, but there were vending machines out there.

This was a great course to play. I played with my boyfriend and really enjoyed playing. Beautiful course, well maintained, and friendly staff. I will definitely go back.

Played a slow round with 3 friends. No rangers nor starter at the course but staff in the pro shop were friendly. Course layout has holes paralleling each other closely. Some holes are open, others very narrow testing your accuracy. There is a decent variety of hole layouts; dog legs, long, short, and a few with water.

Greens looked nice but were very hard and many small in size. they held nothing, even high shots with a 60 degree wedge. Wedge shots landing 10 feet before the hole would end up 15 feet past or even off the green. This was tough to play with since I am used to soft greens and spinning shots back on occasion.

Many tee boxes were covered with weeds. Some fairways were full of weeds too but other areas were in great shape.

Over all, the $20 I paid to play here was a decent deal but I am not a fan of the course.

Average course. Good value. There was extremely slow play ahead of us.

Well maintained course with nicely groomed fairways and greens, which were firm and fast. Several challenging holes but overall a very scorable course once you know the layout.

Biggest con is no drinking water is provided on the course, forcing players to buy water at the turn. In addition, the facility was understaffed and I rated staff friendliness as dismissive for this reason.

I have played Kimberton in the past and liked it very much. So when I booked the tee time I was excited to revisit this course. When I arrived I noticed 20-30 student golfers there and figured they were going after 3pm (my tee time was 242pm), but when I checked in they told me they made a mistake and the students were already going off the first tee and asked if I minded starting on the back 9. Not a problem until we start coming up 18 and there are another 20 guys at the first tee. They had a league going on from 4-6pm and I couldn't play the front. Not only that they asked me to try and play the back 9 again. I didn't want to play the same 9 twice and even if I did there was a log jam of 12 golfers on 10. In the end I didn't even get to play 18. This mistake should be rectified by the course and they should schedule better. Very disappointed by this day.

Wide open, Very playable for good scoring opportunities.

Great value for the money. Aside from some ball marks on a few greens, the course was in really good condition. My only complaint was that the greens did not hold approach shots very well. Just about everything would roll right off of the back. Great deal anyway.

lovely course, mature , well maintained, easy for walkers and an enjoyable countryside to enjoy
