About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Fun day
Got paired with two other singles and had a blast. Course was still wet from the rain, but very much playable. Greens rolled true and were pretty quick. Waited on about half of the holes, but other than that it was great
Arizona Winter Golf Bargain
Classic winter golf in Arizona. Fairways great, greens a little rough, but overall a nice course on a nice day. Tee time of 1:30 PM sometimes too late to finish and we made 16 holes. Would play again.
Poor greens
Fairways good; traps ok; but the greens simply don’t have enough grass on them. I thought that management would show some evidence of fixing the greens, but so far no.
Fair condition after rains.
Played the course after it rained the previous day. It was obvious that no maintenance was performed for a few days. Greens were uncut and really long. Course, however, was generally dry
Greens in terrible condition
We have golfed here before but the course is not in good condition. The greens were very rough & lots of dead spots. It looked like the grass cutter on the greens left ridges that would make the balls bounce or redirect. Fairways not bad.
Ken McDonald is in my rotation when in the valley
Played here several times during the last few years. Nice municipal course situated in an established neighborhood. Fairways and greens were in great condition and they did a great job with the over seed. Dormant rough was manageable. Pace of play was good and is a very walkable course. Nice practice range. Good value in the area this time of year.
NONE
Fairways and greens are in excellent condition.
the starter is very friendly.
Car Path only due to wet condition lots of rain fell on Saturday, wished the greens were in better condition lots of bare spots made putting difficult
Pace of play needs to be addressed
I grew up playing this course and it’s a great value. However, Kenny Mac needs to address pace of play. You can still play bad golf quickly and do not have to putt out 1 footers for a 12 on a hole. Also, Kenny Mac needs to charge those that don’t show up for their tee time. A lot of loss revenue that could help make a lot of improvements. Great value tho for golf on an easy course.
