Rating 70.4

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.

Ken McDolanld-A Decent Municipal Course

Appreciate the municipal courses not trying to rip off golfers with exorbitant rates right now, as most private courses are doing.

KMGC has a nice layout, has kept the fairways and greens in good shape, which allow for a pleasant golf experience.

Don't look for any dramatic views or elevation changes. Just a good place to play some enjoyable golf.
