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.

This course was very busy.

The staff kept everyhing running like clockwork. Tee times were 9 minutes apart and people ready to go when their turn came. We were a foursome but nobody was pushing us and we seldom had to wait for the group in front of us. Even though they are getting ready to overseed the course it was still in really good shape. Excellent value for the money.

Great round of golf

Love the course and staff. Some other golfers have no concept of pace of play or etiquette!

Not overseeding yet

Greens were sticky slow and occasional wet areas where irrigation was leaking but a very decent day on a reasonably priced course

Scary

Cow pasture with very slow greens and rock hard sand. Watch out for the high voltage electric lines overhead on at least 3 holes.
