Ken McDonald Golf Course

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.)

Good value. Fairways in fair condition. Greens in good condition. Pretty straightforward.

Great layout…interesting, forgiving, and still challenging. Incredibly affordable rates. Very nice staff, and great restaurant. All that will keep me coming back.

One thing that’s consistently frustrating: Kenny Mac should ALWAYS be a sub-four hour course. When the course isn’t busy, it’s playable in three hours. I’ve been in foursomes finishing in 3 1/2 hours. Yet it seems groups playing at a 4 1/2 hours or longer pace are never coached to keep pace by the player assistants (such as the starter or on-course marshall). The 4.5 hr pace is considered acceptable by course management, despite that pace being too long by standards at many other courses in the Valley. Would love to see more rigorous enforcement of pace so that groups don’t get backed up all day long because of one outlying slow early group.

Best cart girl service in our 6 weeks of golf so far.
