Public golf course doesn't deserve to have US Open rough

Played 2 consecutive rounds 10/02 and 10/03 with group of 20 golfers. I have played Kennsington around 15 times and have always liked playing there. This time was different. Due to heavy rain previous 2 weeks and greens and fairways being punched, course was playing extremely long. But that wasn't the issue. Rough was 9 to 15 inches! When I asked why the rough was so high, the gentleman in the pro shop indicated they do not want to cut it because they want the course not to burn out and look nice. Also, the pro shop attendant stated that the way to not play out of the rough is to keep it in the fairway. That is a poor excuse to not cut the rough. Rounds are taking 5 to 6 hours to complete according to previous reviews. We had to look for golf balls on almost every hole. Kennsington is definitely not a Winged Foot, Oakmont, or any other US Open course. Cut your rough! Improve your pace of play. Food and drinks in your great bar and restaurant is fantastic. The hotel there is also top notched. I don't understand. Kennsington please help me understand this as a golfer.

Praying for rain

First off the driving range was the worst no grass to hit from everyone complained about it. Because of no rain they neglected to cut the rough. If you got off the fairway it was very hard to find your ball in 6 to 8 inches of grass. The greens were hard and dried out. I would not recommend this course at this time.

This is a no-go

I was pretty amped about playing this course, because I had heard some decent things about the conditions and layout. The golf itself was fine, albeit on the slow side- course was definitely overbooked. It took 2.5 hours to play front 9.

More disappointing is that the course does not offer rain checks. This is an appalling policy, as it in no way encourages people to come back and play. Even speaking with staff, they said “everyone knows this about us”. I do wonder how a first time player is supposed to know a course plans to take your money and run. Even further, the staff who mentioned the had been there 3-5 years agreed that it was a terrible policy (looking at you Bob and Terry) but nothing could be done. This only reinforces the notion that the owners/managers are stingy and in no way want to encourage future attendance.

Needless to say, I will not be returning. There are far better value courses in the areas. I’m here to play golf, not line someone’s pockets.

Has potential

Course has potential to be a great course. Rough is extremely long, some fairways quite wet, great layout, slow pace of play. Staff not friendly at all. We had one player that was sick and asked for a rain check. I was rudely told they don't do rain checks and it wasn't raining. Now rather than us going back to play there again, they have lost a customer.

So much potential but....

Great layout but course needs a little TLC, has alot of potential to be a fabulous course. Some fairways were very wet, hard to even find firm ground. Greens were in good condition, rough is way to long

Great layout, fun but very challenging

Some of the holes are suffering from dry conditions. #10 is atrocious. But it looks like they did they did the right thing and tore it up to save it for next year. Most holes are very playable. Greens were good but bit long. This coarse is always fun to play, great layout. Always something new on every hole.

Challenging

This is a great course. Greens are large and sloped. Fairways are in good condition, except for a few spots that maybe had some hot weather damage. The rough is punitive-a good thing to know going in. Look for last minute deals on GolfNow. I find them frequently. Staff is friendly.

Incredible layout, but things are trending the wrong way.

I absolutely love Kensingtons layout and the way the course plays, it’s incredible. But the last time I was there not only did the course conditions suffer, but the pace of play was so slow that I had to quit after 9 as I was approaching 3 hours for 9 holes as a single, the starters and front desk were absolutely no help, and I basically wasted my money. I will most likely not be back for a while unfortunately, as I was left with a very sour taste in my mouth. (It was a weekday, not even a weekend)
