Awesome state run course.

The course and it’s layout are awesome. Initially I was concerned about the pace of play . There were several foursomes lined up at the #1 tee box. I was pleasantly surprised at the pace of play after teeing off. The clubhouse rivals that of a private club. The restroom facilities were spotless. After a bratwurst and a beer, we were on our way to the back nine. The course is well manicured and the holes are challenging and fast. My only complaint is the $10 fee for entering the park. I feel that this fee should be waived for golfers.

Great course

I know they’ve struggled with staffing, but they need a marshal enforcing pace of play. Our front 9 took 3 hours, luckily the group ahead of us only played 9. The course is in phenomenal shape, greens are firm and fast. Although it’s not a very long course, it’s still a challenge, especially with all the long par 3’s. If not for pace to of play I’d give it 5 stars.

Great Golf at Kensington

Course in great shape. Played 18 as a twosome in 4 hours. Good value. Restrooms need cleaning and refurbishing greatly; terrible condition.

Quite nice

Beautiful course and I found to be very challenging. Thick rough narrow fairways but simply beautiful and very well kept. Like walking on carpet!

August 2022 Kensington Metro

Staff was friendly in accommodating me, a single golfer. Pace was only a minor concern as the group I was paired with preferred to let me golf in front, so as a single, I was mildly delayed. All in all, the course was in great shape and a challenge, even from the white tee position.

Same Old Kensington

No Kensington, I will not "pair up" with the next tee time and play together. Get this dumb idea out of your brain. How about you get a clue and not schedule tee times every 90 seconds? Speaking of which, nearly 7 hours on a weekday for 18 holes of golf is OBSCENE. Physically, it's a nice, well maintained course that's ruined by clubhouse mis-management. And by the way, none of this is new. I played Kensington a decade ago and it was the same nonsense. Won't be back.

Great value

Great conditions. It’s a nice course and very well taken care of. Pace is OK…sometimes it can be really slow. Honestly my only compliant is the highway, I just can enjoy a round of golf with that much noise.

Turf management

This course is layed out beautiful. Tees and fairways were in remarkable shape for August. Plenty of wildlife couching me as I played. I will become a repeat player every summer.

Great course

Kensington is always a fun course with deceptively tricky greens and well kept grounds. They pay close attention to pace of play adding to the enjoyment of this well priced course.

Slow Twilight

Booked a 6:00 pm time to play nine or whatever we could get in. No course marshals, this slow play and tank top wearing goons out playing and drinking heavily. Not a fun experience to play nine in a bit over 2.5 hours. Won’t be back for that again
