Ken McDonald Golf Course

Kim McDonald is run by the city so I’m sure they are limited in their funds. But I’ve played other public courses and non That are much better shape and bang for the dollar a better deal. Maybe it was just a day but the staff was disorganized and at times rude for some ungodly reason.

The only negative about the course is that the bunkers were not as good as they normally are. The sand was very shallow and wet most of the morning. Otherwise this muni is a great test. Some very challenging holes, especially 9, 15 & 16. Greens were very true and fast.

We were playing with 2 other people . We were on time . The ranger came up to us and said we needed to step aside for 4 men 1,was walking . We asked why . Because they called and said you were slow . I understand pace of play.

The golfers were stacked up . We let them hit, they bobbled most of the drives. Not cool .

With a very low green fee if you play after 2 pm, Ken Mac Donald is certainly the best affordable golf course of the valley.

The lay out of the golf course is good and course is well maintained.

Thank you city of Tempe for this nice golf course

Greens always in great shape,, Bunkers and fairways in great shape, great pace of play 3 hours 40 minutes for 18. Love this track.

Have played Kenny Mac very often in the past. Now a snow bird I don’t play it often. It is a nice layout and you will use most of the clubs in your bag, the par 3’s can be very challenging and the stretch from 7-11 is a nice test.

The bunkers are horrendous. They have a dusting of sand on top of caliche. Best to putt out if possible or chip.

Greens were nice, fairly fast, firm and unfortunately so many players did not fix there ball marks which are difficult to see due to the firmness.

But it is a fair test and priced reasonable.

Our first time here, but not our last. The course was in excellent shape. Challenging enough for recreational golfers. The greens were terrific compared to any others we played this year.

Course conditions great for cost, pace was good and staff exceptional

Love this course. Well run and in good condition. Friendly staff and a Marshall that keeps things moving.

Pace of play was great. Course is in nice shape. Definitely play it again.

Very good course for the money.

Would recommend and play again.

If you're a 4 1/2 hour player, you're playing way too slow. Many days at Kenny Mac are conducive to getting a round in under four hours, and that applied today, happy to say.

Love that I was able to get a round in before 10:30 a.m. As long as the early groups are keeping pace with the groups ahead of them and the lead group is playing as fast as this course plays, you can ALWAYS get in under 4 hours. That said, the course management doesn't agree that it's a sub-4-hour 18, so slow play isn't always sped up by the rangers. It happens.

Today was a beautiful day, waited on lead group a lot, but they still finished in under four hours, so I've no complaints. Greens have been pretty good, traps seemed like maybe the course is doing something to make them more consistent, which I appreciate.

And, as always, team is friendly and welcoming.

(Maybe do some work on the practice tee, tho, it's really in rough shape.)
