Located in the metropolitan Phoenix area, the affordably priced Ken McDonald Golf Course is a championship-length course that is suitable for any level of golfer. The flat terrain of the course makes for an enjoyable stroll, while the water hazards that come into play on eight holes provide plenty of challenge. The water hazards are provided by the Western Canal, which flows directly through the golf course. The par-5 11th hole is the longest on the course at 570 yards; it is very difficult to reach in two shots. In addition to the course, Ken McDonald Golf Course offers several other amenities including a restaurant, club fitting and repairs, and professional golf instruction.

My buddy’s fav course
This place is fun. I’ve been playing a couple years now. I got to use my driver a lot. Greens good. And the staff was great too. I live 40 miles away. But I am sure we will be back again

Average course
From tee to green this course was kept up well. Par 3 and par 4 layouts were average at best. The par 5’s were set up nicely and most forced a lay up. Fairways are wide and most set up to a fade. Overall we weren’t overly impressed but we definitely were not disappointed. It’s an average muni track, just a little overpriced. Will play here again.

Great course for the money
Fairways and greens are in great shape. Finished round in 4 hours. Pleasantly surprised at how nice the course was for how little we paid to golf there.
