Ken McDonald Golf Course

Sprinklers were running during play which was a small annoyance. Greens were thick and slow hard to get used to and fairways were thick. Presented some challenges that are beneficial for learning to play different course conditions

Kenny-Mac will always be like an old friend,haven’t seen in a while, but always good times

Course in OK shape....nothing great....needed to be mowed in several areas and greens were a bit sandy and bumpy.....maybe they were recently punched......course is maybe worth 35 bucks but I would not pay much more.....if they invested a bit of money into it then could be a really nice track.

So they dont tell you when you book this that the parking lot and adjacent lot are closed. there are no signs to help and no one from the course will help you. You have to park and walk about a 1/2 mile with your bag to get to the course. then hope that the spot you picks is on the correct side of the Constuction tape, if not you have to go even further. the course is not terrible for summer, especially if you dont like grass but not worth more than $25-$30 bucks to play. the staff in the golf shop are none to friendly nor helpful. Even though there are two of them, they couldn't find the time or the staff to help people from the parking lot in 113 degree weather. I personally would have tipped a guy $5 to pick me up out there.. Defiantly dont play here unless your quite desperate for a dry round there are much better course at this price. you all should have remodeled the clubhouse.. duh

The course was very wet and overwatered when playing. Fairways are bear and have a lot of dirt spots on them. The pace of play is consistently bad. We waited 5-10mins every shot on the front nine. New management has moved tee boxes back 30-40 yards on every hole recently. The course used to be a lot better.

Great time! Thanks for checking and refilling on course ice water coolers!

Always enjoy playing Ken McDonald. Good course for the average golfer wide open fairways and fairly flat.

nice day, fun course. Wish the bar was open when we finished so we could have a beer

Perspective matters. I have played all over the world. So I feel like I have an understanding of how to value an experience.

To have an unrealistic expectation playing golf at a public course in arizona for $ 40, is by definition to insure disappointment. Rather, I think if you are realistic, you can have a good experience if you choose. By that I mean you understand where you are, what to expect and the value you can derive for the investment.

Under these terms I would rate ken Macdonald very high.

Fairly nice condition greens. Fast pace of play and nice people.

Too many burnt out areas in fareways. Greens were very inconsistent. No evidence of a marshal. 4 guys in front of us were playing 2 man scramble. Usually parked in front of or on the side of the green opposite the cart path. Our twosome waited for their every shot. They would tee off right away to avoid us playing through.

This course has a odd layout fit in to an area between a power plant a community center and across a canal / bike path. To me the variety of the holes is what makes it fun, - #2, hits over the path, 9 &15 are interesting tough water dog legs. The fairways are getting pretty cooked and crispy, greens are okay, first cut is either non existent packed dirt, or a patchy scraggly lumpy bermuda mess, crapshoot. But If you are decent off the tee it won't matter. Pretty cheap, no frills

Didn't have a decent lie all day on or off the fairway, well, actually had some lies that weren't bare off the fairway a couple times. Greens are rocks. I might expect these conditions in July or for $25 but not for $60. Sand traps look good, but were crusty - hadn't been raked in ages.
