Ken McDonald Golf Course

My group plays this course often. The customer service seems to be in decline. From the check in to the starter, treated poorly and disrespectful.

In addition, we were not alerted they would be fertilizing the course during the round. The crew spreading the fertilizer had no regard for his safety or that of the players..

Hot day and no drink person out on the course. No Marshall on the course, Players visibly skipping holes or repeating holes hampering pace of play.

Disappointed at best.

The course is in okay condition but it is the most burned out one I’ve played on so far this year. The staff was very friendly. They did mention some summer building projects.

Even though this is a municipal course, the layout is challenging. The benefit is that there is no desert to have to deal with. The challenge (if you look at it that way), is mature trees everywhere! This course rewards decent shots. Hit it too far left or right, and there’s almost a certainty of a lost stroke or two. Pro shop staff is very nice and accommodating. Course Marshall’s do their best to keep pace of play on track. Although, during this visit we experienced slow play and had to wait 3-5 minutes on each hole. Not a huge deal because we were having fun. After the round, we went into the bar area for a drink and found the attention underwhelming. We were the only people at the bar and the bartender asked two out of the three of us what we’d like to drink, then walked away. Maybe because we were adults and my son apparently didn’t need anything? He wanted to order food, but was never given the opportunity. We were ignored until we had to stand up and walk over to her to get some service for him. We ended up only getting him a drink because we feared if we ordered food, we’d never get it. Not to mention the prices seem very high. $11 for a hot dog? The bartender was also yawning the entire time, so maybe it was a late night for her and serving customers was too much work. I’ll skip the after-round amenities there going forward. Plenty of places to stop on the way home.

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

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.
