Ken McDonald Golf Course

Our 1st time playing this course. Some driving range balls need to be replaced cuz they’ve seen better days. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in good shape. The course was a bit challenging for a duffer like me. We both agree that we would play this course again.

Tee time was 12:45. Was told 30 minute delay when we checked in

The place was packed with backed up golfers, ended up leaving around 2:30

Andrew in the pro shop did try and remedy the issue by rebooking us the next day

we showed up and again 30 minute delay we did finish 18

Poorly run course

Don’t waste your time

I was unable to make it due to some family matters which took precedence!!

AZ golf gets crazy expensive. This course was really good for the total $.

When we played they were short carts and we were waiting for them to come off hole 18. That caused a back up of 40 minutes there was also a lot of down tree benches on the rough in piles that appeared to have been there a long time

Course is fine. The back 9 needs sand in the bunkers. The course struggles with the amount of play and they need new carts. My tee time was delayed 30 minutes because there carts keep dying.

Great staff...course conditions were moderate with greens that were hard and bumpy, fairways that were a bit spotty and still dealing with the debris from the October 2025 storm.

Started our group 15 min late

Starter said they did not have enough carts

Then he came out to the course and said we had to have the carts back by 6:15 pm. Which pretty much guaranteed we would not be able to finish our round. We booked a T-time that would allow enough time, 2:00pm, to finish, without the late start.

Sunset was at 6:30 that day. Enough light to play til 6:45pm. I think it is poor customer relations to try to kick people off the course before sunset. If the course wants to kick people off the course before sunset, I think that should be spelled out on the booking site, before making a reservation. Either way this being a customer service based industry, people should be able to play until dark like other courses.

Bunkers were like concrete.greens were bumpy and inconsistent.

Not sure if I will play this course again.

This course is in pitiful condition. Trees have been down for over 4 months and there's no reason for this not being cleaned up. The new owners should be ashamed of themselves for charging these ridiculous fees for a crappy course. Such a shame used to be such a fun course at a reasonable price.

Booked a 2:52pm tee time. And was told they did not have golf carts. Their was no accommodations other then I can wait 45mins or walk or leave. Marshall was very brief and had a not my problem attitude. Had a few encounters with other members of staff throughout the course and it seemed like knowone liked their jobs and just didnt care. I know this course has a lot on their plate with storm repairs but this is totally unacceptable. This course had the potential to be a great amenity to homeowners of Tempe and a money making machine. As a resident of this area ill take future business to chandler, phoenix, mesa or scottsdale. I hope they get more golf carts

Ive honestly never seen anything like what happened today..... i arrived to pay and they say they dont have carts? Ive been playing for 30 years and im not sure ive heard that before. 106 tee time teed of at 146. Waited 15-20 minutes per hole. This place is an absolute joke for $80. Until you guys fix this course that has rubble all over the place for 5he last 3 months and also fix management then i may come back. Stay far clear of Kenny

Arrived to a 30 minute delay that turned into 45 minutes. The starter said they had 15 carts “in the shop.” Also, the downed trees from the fall microburst are still all over the course edges.

Our day started off with a 40 minute wait to tee off after our scheduled tee time. Evidently they don’t have enough carts. Then once we got out to play there were piles of brush that wasn’t cleaned up. Best part of the day was the $5 Four Peaks Wow Wild Berry Beer! Probably won’t be back.

Great value! I was pleasantly surprised by the course.

4 months ago, heavy wind toppled a forest of trees on this golf course. Understandably, it created quite a mess. However, it is hard to understand why most of that lumber and tree waste is still piled up all over the golf course. It is in the way of play if you miss the fairways and many errant tee shots end up being gobbled up by overgrown trash piles leaving your ball lost or unplayable. In their defense they have the price set at the low end of the spectrum. If you are willing to tolerate the frustration, go for it. I just wish Tempe would put a little more TLC into this golf course.

One of the best muni's in the valley. Any time you can play Ken McDonald, I highly recommend it.
