Kimberton Golf Club

You would think the pro shop would mention that the greens were just airated but no .this made the round not that enjoyable as are groups putts went all over the place. Otherwise pace of play was good under 4 hours and staff was nice.

Easter Sunday on the course…does it get better? Yes -particularly when my wife and I can get through 18 holes in less than 3 hours! Beautiful day, great course, and superior customer service.

Overall, the course was fine. Open layout, fairways and bunkers maintained well enough. The biggest problem was the greens. I’ve never experienced green complexes that were so unreceptive to any approach shot. Literally nothing was sticking. At first I thought ok maybe the greens were just tough, but then I noticed not a single ball mark on any green. It was like trying to get the ball to stop on hardwood. Sorry, but I shouldn’t have a 20 yard wedge shot roll out 70-80 feet. It’s one thing to be challenging, but this was borderline unfair and just not fun. Clean up the greens and the course would be more than serviceable, just not at the $70 price point.

I’d heard pretty good things about the course, it’s certainly pretty wide open for errant shots and flat enough to walk vice ride.

But the tee boxes, greens and fairways were in very rough shape. I’ve played other courses in the area, all of which were in much better condition. I think when courses get below that tipping point of maintenance the golfers just stop doing their part in repairing divots, ball marks and sand areas. So then it spirals further. They need to invest some time and energy into improving the conditions. It didn’t help that some of the fairways were recently aerated (which was not disclosed by hen booking or checking in).

Having played most courses in the Phxville/Limerick/Gilbertsville /collegeville area….this is one of the worst ones (this and Hickory valley). I golf way too much for my own good but I can honestly say there’s at least 10 better options in this area better than Kimberton. They should charge no more then $45 at peak hours, it’s not worth more than that.

If you’re an avid golfer in our area, I’d consider this an “if nowhere else has good tee times I guess we could do Kimberton” kind of option.

3/10 stars

Although someone might have taken my ball on one of the opposite holes, I would go back. Course is in great shape and the greens were great as well.

Loved the layout. Cheaper than most courses in the area, and just as good if not better! Staff was friendly. It was still fun even though I didn’t play good. You know it’s a good course when you can still have fun when your off your game. Don’t judge a book by its cover, this course was worth the money. Can’t wait to play here again.

Every G Box T Box was in bad shape date. Everygreen was recently irated, only to have little to no sand filling the holes to make it level.

For the value of a Saturday and Sunday greens feed plus cart nearing $70 , this was not a good value and the pace of play could have been better.

Come on Kimberton , get your stuff together. Congratulations on getting the lease on the driving range, it will add we'll add a lot of business back.

Sad how much they have let the tee boxes determinate at this once proud course. Looks like they are taking the greens fee and running, not spending money on maintenance. I have played here for past twenty years and the tee boxes yesterday are worse than any other course I have played. Additionally, they punched the greens, but applied no sand! Would have been nice to receive an aeration alert or a discount for the poor conditions. Sad what this course had become

Couldn’t ask for a better weekday round. Course was in nice shape, staff was very friendly, and played 18 in 3h 10m. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

golfed with a friend. appears they havent even attempted maintaining the course. no watering ruff fairways greens. tee boxes all crab grass. kind of embarrassing. would never have expected this having previously played here. did not enjoy it all all. will never be back.
