Beautiful
First time playing here, very beautiful. Take High Ridge Rd. To Avoid paying the $10 to get into the park.
Stellar
Played this course on a Monday afternoon and it was terrific! We played 27 holes in under 4 hours. They pushed us out in front of their league for a replay 9 rate of $9.
It’s a long course with hills and tough greens and beautiful back drops. The par 3’s are tough but fair and there’s enough room for an avid golfer such as myself. Staff was extremely friendly I can’t recommend this course enough. The metroparks courses just do things right! You pay the park entry fee of $10 but they give you $8 credit towards your round so it’s really only $2 to get in.
Had a Great Time!
I have passed this course hundreds of times as I am traveling down 96 over the past 10-15 years and never took the opportunity to stop and play this track. The group I was will had a great time. I thought it had everything on the course. The traps were maintained very well. Greens rolled true. Spent a little bit too much time contending with trees on the back nine but if you are not going to hit the fairway you deserve a challenging shot. All in all we had a great time and I would play this course again.
Good but slow
I like Kensington but the pace of play is often brutally slow. The price is extremely fair so if it’s not too busy it’s still worth it.
Great Course / Frustrating Play
I've played Kensington for over 30 years and love the course; I understand that we played on Monday, Memorial Day and must take my complaint with a grain of salt:
absolutely the most excruciating Front 9 I have ever had to endure. We paid for 18 holes but over 2 1/2 hours later we had to stop play due to the people (NOT 'players') in front of us. Two threesomes, one behind the other, that could not move the ball directly forward. I can only hazard a guess that most of the time, these people fish, sail, picnic, or sit around a campfire strumming a guitar but never, ever play golf.
Entry fee to Kensington
My foursome got charged $10 for each car to get in into Kensington. We were told at the gate that the pro shop will reimburse us $8.00 each. When we spoke to the pros they told us that we don’t get anything back because we bought a hot deal on golf now. They you should have read the fine print. Really?? No exceptions. Will not go there again. (We paid an extra $32 to get in. It’s not a hot deal anymore)
Very mean and rude to kids
Ranger said “this is why we shouldn’t have kids play here”.
Kensington
Love this place. Been playing over 30 years and just keeps getting better
Nice track
Really enjoy this course. Greens were rubbing very fast and the course was in great shape.
Fine Nine!
Great course for late in season 9 holes. 2 women playing from Golds and it was pretty fair. Green shirt in good shape.
Fun foursome
Had a great time playing the course but would never play mid-day on a Saturday. Tee time at 12:24 and had to wait every hole with no ranger in sight to keep it moving. Got done around 5:40. Just took too long...
Beware GolfNow "Hot Deals" Users
This metro park charges you $10 to enter of which $8 is returned as greens fees when paying at the course. Hot Deals, pre paid, are excluded and none of the $10 is applied. So when you book as "Hot Deals" expect to absorb the additional $10 park admittance in addition to the pre paid greens fee.
Course condition was fantastic. Greens were perfect, rolled very nicely and were relatively fast. In fact, after a 15 minute delay for a rainstorm that saturated everything and left standing water on the greens, it only took playing 2 holes before water was drained and greens were great condition again. I was even more impressed on the condition of Kensington.
Very Nice Metro Park Course
The Kensington Metro Park course is the first Metro Park course I've played in over 3 years and found it to be very enjoyable.
The course is very well maintained and in great shape considering the lack of rain now going into mid July.
Moderately challenging, this course would be enjoyable for players of all skill levels.
Good Value Golf
We have played at Kensington once or twice a year for the last 10 years. It's always a pleasant experience. The course conditions are always above average regardless of weather. It's not the toughest layout in the area, but that can be a good thing if you just want to hit some golf shots without being beat up for your mistakes. Overall. Solid value.
