Kissena Park Golf Course

This course is very tight: A single tree line can separate a hole, and some holes there are none. Balls fly into each other's fairway all the time. Each of the first 4 holes are littered with balls (even on the fairway) from people who stopped caring to look for their ball. This course is a lost golf ball recovery service's dream! Fairways are firm are on angles on many holes; fairways hit can bounce the ball into the rough or beyond. Conservative play is key because bad shots will be punished and good shots can be punished too. There are only 2 par 4s over 350 yds. And one of those par 4s play short due to the elevation. No par 5s.

The greens are tiny and 8 of them are par 3s. Most are in rough shape and are on punishing mounds; if you land around the green, your ball can bounce far away, sometimes into the woods.

Rough is pretty low but not well maintained. it was very patchy with lots of exposed dirty, clumps of grass, loose sticks, fallen tree limbs, and tight lies. Especially for the holes at lower elevations.

Play with a golf cart unless you are trying to prove something physically. Too much energy pushing a bag cart or carrying up these hills. I regretted it, so did my partner, and other first timers I ran into that day.

Staff was iffy. Starter needs a personality but cart girl was very friendly, patience, and considerate. Beyond them, I saw no one else outside the clubhouse. Walk in thru the gate, the starter has your info, you go to first tee. Late? Your out of luck.

Too many nice courses in my area to come back to this place again of my own volition. It's a glorified pitch and putt course. Amazingly enough, on a Saturday late morning/early afternoon play through, pace was great. That was probably the best part or playing here. No one even caught up to us until the 18th.

Pretty good course. Lots of variations thru out per hole. The course will definitely test your accuracy off the tee box, whether you decide to use your driver, woods, hybrids, any irons or wedges. Putting greens were either extremely slow or fast, so it was hard to gauge a decent stroke, but then, I'm not a consistent player. It was a fun golf outing, so, there in lies the beauty of Kissena Park Golf Course (by the way, keep your eyes open to the wild animals (I think it was a young fox at the 7th hole) roaming thru the holes).

The pictures of this place are not the same golf course it’s a goat ranch don’t waste your money

How this place is still even open is beyond me it looked like a bomb went off on the course literally the worst conditions I ever seen on a golf course like they haven’t done anything to maintain it in years I wouldn’t play there again for free
