Kissena Park Golf Course

My wife is a beginner golfer. I chose this course for her to start up her first golf outing. We spent only 3 hours to finish 18 holes.

I’ve played the Kissena golf course many times.

Kissena is lots of fun helped by several par 3s

of varying lengths and difficulty. The staff are friendly and helpful. Today, my round started in a light rain. I was wearing a heart monitor and wasn’t supposed to get it wet. When I told the starter Paul that I had forgotten my rain jacket he

took off his jacket and gave it to me to use until the rain stopped. He had never met me. He literally gave me the metaphoric shirt off his back.

What a warm and generous gesture! I’m still touched. Paul’s gesture of kindness exemplifies what a terrific golf experience one had at Kissena.

Played here once before. The course is in fabulous condition. Codos to the maintenance team for the work in keeping it this good.. also the starter Paul was very personal and friendly and asked if we needed any help. A totally great experience. Looking to return soon. Lacking bathrooms but for us guys the woods is fine.

I've played Kissena many times. It's short, but with some interesting par 3 holes. The staff is very friendly. Post COVID prices are ridicules', but the craziness is everywhere. This place needs some investment money to fix pathways, to install ball washers, to patch some bold spots. We always say: Aaa, it's OK for a public course. Nooo, fix it and make it worth the $59 before lunch price!

Played on a Saturday morning and we started about 15-20 minutes late unfortunately. The pace of play for the first 7-8 holes was a little slow, we thought we were going to have a 5 hour round. Around the 9th hole the pace picked up and we finished around 4 hours and 20 minutes. The course is in great shape, and despite its short yardage, it is pretty tough to score low. Almost every hole there was either someone on our fairway or we hit into another fairway lol. Other than some golfers almost hitting us without yelling "fore" or hitting off the tee while we were still in the fairway, it was a really nice time.

Kissena is good if you want to walk, and also if you're not looking for a huge challenge (no par-5s). They're doing pretty well with the overall condition, probably best I've seen it. Teed off at 7:30, finished by 11:15 but you can bet it's not usually that quick. Tee boxes almost all in great shape and greens were reasonably well maintained. I took a pic of one of the staff working on the 8th green, see below.

This course isn't long yardage wise but you need accurate shots to score low. The greens were excessive slow. I'm not sure if that's how they always play. The staff is kind and very helpful.

Over all,putting green was very slow the day I played.
