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.

Generally a good experience

The course is in relatively good shape but the fairways and greens have deteriorated in the last couple of weeks. Quite a few brown patches on the greens. There also were no cups on the practice green which is the first time I’ve seen that. Still a good value for the money.

Excellent golf course

The staff was very friendly and efficient especially since there was a frost delay. The pace of play was fine and the course is in great shape. I definitely recommend this course.

Much better than first impression

The course app rears run down when you arrive and the driving range grass tees are a mess. Once we started playing we found the course to be in good condition and enjoyable to play.

Late round

Got a 2pm round so it was going to be close to dark before we finished. I was paired with three singles. Very nice guys & we had a great time. Course was in good shape.
