About
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.

Not what I expected.
I've played Kimberton several times over the years but this was the first time this year. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the condition of the course. The greens were link concrete and couldn't hold any shot. You could tell they were not watered for a few days. As for the rough, you couldn't find any of your balls hit over 100 yards because they haven't been mowed in a sometime. I still like the course but this was not what I expected.

Love this course! Some easy holes, some challenging. Nice staff, good food, and the course is always in great shape!
Jammed Schedule
Pretty decent course for its price as well, but really could use some work on their tee time scheduling.
Sorry to hear the start of your round did not go a smoothly as usual. We practice 9 minute tee time intervals here with a "starter" catch up time every 90 minutes to allow for even better flow. Our players have been raving about 3 and 1/2 to 4 hour rounds all season since we instituted this policy. Hopefully you'll come back and try us again
Great staff. Nice layout. Tough greens
They were out of power from the recent storms but were very friendly and we actually had an amazing day out. Those greens though, tough reads and speed changes depending on what hole you’re on. Tough putting. Had fun.
Pace of play
Pace of play is key to any good review of a golf course and today was perfect especially on a hot day. Didn't wait at all today and finished the tound under 3 and half hours!
Priced high for conditions
Staff and everyone are very friendly but the course conditions are pretty bad and the price $35-40 is a little steep for those conditions. Lost so many balls because just off the fairway is like an overgrown backyard. Clover flowers everywhere. Greens more like all fringe, no break when putting. Very odd. It was still fun but overall I’d skip this course.
Great course, and good value!
Kimberton is a nice course, good layout and very few hazards that will get you in trouble. My last round was after a series of thunderstorms that left quite a few tree limbs down, but the course was well cleared afterwards and play was mainly not impacted. The staff was friendly and the food and beverage setup at Hole 12 was fabulous! Kudos to the staff for adapting to the COVID restrictions and keeping it friendly and fun!!
Good course for high handicappers
Its a good course for a high handicap golfer to work on their game
Pleasant Surprise
This course should definitely at 4 full stars. The course was in great shape. It's open for hackers like me, but there are enough variations to keep it interesting. I will definitely be back.
Thank you for your 5 star review! It's great to be back open and awesome to see people enjoying all the love we've put into the course these past few years
Great Atmosphere
Today is the day golf is back in PA! The staff did a wonderful job taking precautions and adjusting to the COVID19 guidelines. Course was in great shape today even with wet spots. All smiles and laughs around this place
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review... what a great feeling having golf back in all our lives! Looking forward to having you out again soon, appreciate the comments. Stay safe!

For the middle of march the course was in good condition. The greens were true and fast. Grass is not growing yet so ruff was easy. Looks like they are making some improvements to some of the older bunkers and planted some new trees. Always good to see a course trying to improve. Repaving the cart paths would be nice as they are in need of repair in some places.

Sorry to hear the experience you had at the club wasn't what you've been accustomed to. We've been hearing great things about the conditions lately, but it's always good to know when players don't have the same experience as others. Greens got firm and fast with with dry weather and wind lately, even with daily watering they still require some spin to hold when that happens. Our rough once you get more then 5-10 yards off the fairways is kept at 2.5-3 inches and is seen as a great equalizer for the course. Hopefully we'll see you back soon... we have recently areated, seeded and too dressed our greens which will make them much more receptive in the fall. Take care and stay safe!
