Ken McDonald Golf Course

The forward tees are 5759 yards. My wife is a good golfer but not a long hitter (hits drives maybe 160). She did not enjoy this course simply due to the length. I think she is very representative of most women. I think senior men in the 70+ age range might have a similar problem with the length. I highly suggest adding a 4th set of tees with a length around 5000 yards.

In general I liked the course, but some pin placements were on ridges and completely unfair. I consider myself a decent putter but here I 4-putted once and 3-putted 5 times

It gets a lot of play, hard to get a good tee time. Fairways are kept well. Greens reflect the tremendous amount of play.

2:45 front. Quit after 15 due to darkness. 5+ hour round is not acceptable. Saw the ranger multiple times. He said nothing and did not improve the pace at all.

We had 2 golfers in front of us. One was walking and the other a cart. They would not let us pass through. Nice course , nice layout, just slow.

Course was in pretty good shape very busy some greens had some rough spots over all rolled

Very fast. Enjoyed the course 4.5 hours for 18

Ken McDonald is always a great value if you are lucky enough to get a tee time. It's a fun interesting layout. Only issue we had was with condition of the greens. Heavy use must take their toll because most of them were not in good shape. Fairways were very nice and bunkers were in good condition. Tee boxes were acceptable with the heavy play. Would still recommend the course to my friends.

This is a great course for the money, but winter time pace is very low, I have play the 18 holes in 3 hrs but we ntwr is 4:.5 hours

First course after arriving for vacation. Played it previously and found it challenging. Was disappointed with most of the greens diseased, dead areas. However they were fast paced but bumpy. Fairways needed water especially on hills hitting off hard pan. I rebooked to play it again as I have a buddy arriving soon. Good starter course based on price and locality

Played the course several times during our month long stay in PHX. For public access golf Ken McDonald is a lot of fun on a very playable course. Played during WMO and Super Bowl week. Best pace of play and most affordable of the courses we’ve played while in the desert.

Great course to work on your game. Lay out is challenging and somewhat forgiving.

The clubhouse is run by Mike, and he is a first rate and accommodating.

In general, the entire staff is friendly. Beers are cold and cheap.

Fun for all ages. Randy K.

Tucked in residential area, signage could be more conspicuous to find, easy check in, carts good and have sand, water bucket for towels and water on course for us, tees good but still think they need to make red tees yellows and shorten reds , fairways pretty smooth, roughs barren at times, greens putt pretty fair but some fairly rough spots on them, bunkers actually have sand so you can get under the ball, played in just over 4 , windy so made for pretty good workout, player assistant actually out doing stuff, could get rid of the geese

The price for golfing was very good but the pace of play was very slow. There were no gaps in the holes in from of our group. We took 2.5 hours for 9 holes and quit due to darkness.

Went on line for reservation but it did not show up on starters tee off sheet. No big deal he handled it like a pro. Thanks Mark!
