Ken McDonald Golf Course

Played this for 35 years...country club member in mountains.....need to work out that swing? Usually good grass, this week we caught the 80 degrees and no rain conditions..... If ya need to work on your game and enjoy a no stress hit the ball round...here ya go!

They are working on removal of many, many trees. They also need to reseed grass in a lot of areas. The tree removal wasn’t an issue, lack of grass in many places can be worked on.

Nothing special but very playable and they keep the prices reasonable so it stays busy. I thought the grass seemed kind of thin in places. Local rule in force about free drop from brush piles as a micro-burst took out a whole lot of trees all over the course. Staff is great!

Always fun playing this course. Still a number of fallen and dead trees around but fairways and greens were great

Great condition. Greens were great. Fallen trees still not being cleared out is borderline ridiculous at the point though. Loading 1 tree trunk at a time and driving the whole course?! Makes no sense.

Fairly slow play here - nothing has changed. 4.5 hr round is fast at this course. Lots of trees and branches knocked down but the haven’t cleared it out, so you can hit it just off the fairway and be under piles of branches.

Had a good enough time, sad the city is letting the trees sit and be hazards though. Would play again

The play was really slow. They pack the course so it will be slow.

I played this course for the first time and the course was in great shape greens were good fairways were very nice. Enjoyed the course layout. I got there n plenty of time and was able to use the driving range putting green and there is a separate area for chipping.

Now the bad…….the play was super slow and it seemed that the course was over booked. The tee time was almost 45 minutes behind which ment between the the late tee time and the slow play I wasn’t able to finish the round for we ran out of light.

As my title suggests, the pace of play was poor. Our round was 5hr 20min due to the amount of five and six somes ahead of us. Apparently there was a fraternity outing in the morning and groups joined up. Rangers would rudely remind players of “Cart Path Only” but not a word about six twenty somethings camped out on the tee.

The course suffered severe tree damage from a recent storm. Tons of uprooted trees, torn limbs, and debris still on the course. Kudos to the grounds crew for keeping the course playable, though.

Nice public course in Tempe. Even though it’s 18 holes you can get 9 in pretty easily and cut out for half day. Carts are pretty decent working order. Decent amount of shade

Do you need a break? Then get ready for a Long, long, long course….but don’t leave your fairway woods home. Otherwise, nice flat greens, a few traps and a few dog-legs. Enjoy a relaxing course that will take your anxiety and wash them away!!

Not kept up, run down.

Play somewhere else.

Nice people though.
