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.

Excellent Friendly Staff + Great Bang For Your Buck

Walked on in the late morning - staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The course is in great shape considering the recent weather. The cart paths tend to pool water after rain, but I had no trouble navigating the course. The course itself is pretty straightforward and novice friendly which I appreciated - the course layout is a bit odd in spots but not enough to get lost on. Overall, a great value and a great experience ; I would certainly come back again. They are doing a fine job at keeping the course playable as overseeding season approaches.

Great Long Standing course.

Consistently Good course for the value. Forgiving layout but challenging enough to make you think about that shoot you about to take.
