Fun golf

An extremely well maintained public course. Hard fast fairways and difficult green complexes. The only negative would be the lack of a tee box between 5200 and 6300 yards. The green fees are very reasonable.

My Go To

I've been going to Kensington for almost two years now and it's been a great experience every time I've gone.

The course is always in great condition, the staff recognize the frequent players (even throw in discount every now and again), and the course while straight forward has enough variables to make it a challenge. There's also a shooting range across highway 96 so teeing off on the 4th with gunfire in the background is hilarious.

Great for both new/casual and experienced players alike. The only issue I've had is that at times the rate of play has been really bad and has turned 9 holes into a 3 hour game. This can make playing 18 a 5 hour game. If the staff ensured a steady rate of play then Kensington would be perfect in every way.

4/5 one of my favorite courses in the area.

Good Course

This is one of my favorite courses to play in this area. It is very well maintained and has been in great condition every time I've played it. I can't say it's a great value. You probably get what you pay for. In addition to greens fees, you'll have to pay $2 to get into the Metropark if you don't have the annual pass ($10 to get in and then they take $8 off of your greens fees). It has also been busy every time I have played it. The most recent time, I paid $25 for twilight and got in 12 holes before dark.

All in all, I would recommend this course, especially if you can find a deal or play at a time when it is less busy. It is challenging, just because of the length of some of the holes, but is also very playable for most golfers.

Pace super slow

Course is nice for the money but no one out here pushing the pace of play. Current starting hole number 4 and 1 hour in already. Planned on playing 18 but I will only play 9 based on this pace

Great Course

I Love playing Kensington. the course is always in good condition. The pace of play is usually pretty good. The only negative I have is Not with the course, but with golfnow. I had a Gift certificate and had to call the day of golf to tell them that it wasn't showing up on there website that it was deducted from the total,. Waited 45 minutes to get through a rep which I was told they will apply right before I golfed.

Good Metropark Course

Kensington has the best greens of all Metropark courses in Michigan. Overall course was in great shape. They need to replace to hitting area mats, they are in horrible condition. Senior rates should apply before noon on Saturday for us early risers seniors.

I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the course. All other courses have ruts, and then more ruts. The greens were in great shape, only wish people would fix the them after putting dimples in them. It’s not that hard guys and gals.Let the next group be able to enjoy them too. Thanks for a great day!

Great course!

I really loved this course! Great value, well manicured, and the scenery was so peaceful. We saw a few deer, plus there’s Kensington Lake. The atmosphere and course conditions were unique to the course! I will be back. It lived up to the hype!
