Fun course for all levels of play

This is a fun course. There aren't any forced carries over water, but the layout makes it very playable. You don't have to worry too much about parallel fairways and errant shots from tee boxes. The heather was still short when I played, but makes for some tighter fairways on some of the dogleg holes. Greens were in good condition for being early in the year. Staff is very friendly and they are pretty good at keeping the tee times on time. Great snack and food selection for a metro park.

April Golf

Kensington is always one of my favorite courses. Each hole is challenging in it's own right without gimmicks. Wide fairways and large greens but with an undulating layout that makes distance control and shot selection key on every shot. Truly a great course for both beginners and more experienced players. Length off the tee is useful but recovery shots will keep you in play for par. The greens are receptive and in great condition for early April. Have fun!

Great deal

Had a great time playing the course. The only part I didn’t enjoy was waiting 5-10 minutes on every tee box. There was an issue with pace of play with no rangers and groups of 4+ going off. Overall wasn’t bad though. Will play again when it’s not 45 degrees and cloudy.

Noisy

Had a foursome walking in front of a twosome and didn't let go through until hole ten. Expressway noise very loud for the first seven holes.

Pricing

Problem with this course is you get charged 10 dollars to enter the park on top of regular golf fees. It’s not that the course is bad but it sure ain’t worth 42 dollars. I felt cheated, frankly and will not return.

Park Course

Be prepared to pay $10.00 to get into the park.

They just started this year.

Nice surprise!

I will not play here again because of this.

Pricey

Beautiful coarse. $35-$40 per 18 not bad. The kicker is the $10 entrance fee to the park.

Entering

This course is in a metro part. And the started charging $10.00 just this year for a one day pass to get to the golf course. I will play here again even though I would like to.

Also I think this is very crappy as I do not know of any other park course that does this.

Course in great shape and Love the layout. Not a big fan of having to pay 10 bucks for park entrance to go 10 feet to the golf course.
