One of My Favorite Courses

I love this course. It helps that it is only a 10 minute drive for me. I bought the annual park pass just so I could take advantage of the Golfnow Hot Deals. Fairly open fairways, just a little lengthy for average tee shots. Scenic with wildlife. Nice, good size greens.

Surprised

I was extremely surprised to see a metropark in such great condition, fairways are very big and greens were in great condition. The par 4's are all pretty long though for the average player, only 1 less than 350 yards.

woman's to long

We got a great deal though golf now. But the women's tees are to far to get there in regulation.Im one of the longest drivers I know and would still be 150 or more out. I And I only know 3 women can hit that far.The course was in Great shape!

parking

Booked for $23 thought great deal. When we arrived paid $7.00 to enter park and told $5.00 would be refundeded at course. When checking in presented pass for refund but told because booked online no refund for parking. The reason given was had to makeup for cheap rate online. So actual price was $30.00. Beware if you book online add $7.00 to your total. Thought pretty lame.

Always a good course to play

Kensington is in very good shape for this time of year, everything is green and full and thick. The course always plays long as well as the greens are a challange because of the undulation. The grounds staff has done a great job with the condition of the course being in the best shape you will see all year long right now.

Greens

Greens were very slow. Play was very slow.Waited on every shot. Never saw a ranger. The group in front of us must have been playing for high stakes. Probably .25 cents a hole. lol Our tee time was 11:07 Felt like we were out there all day. Would not recommend

Be prepared...

....to tack on an additional $7.00 to park if booking via Golf Now. You don't get the $5.00 back if you prepay.

Fantastic course for beginning golfer

T his is my first year playing golf and I am so happy that I discovered this course. The fairways are wide with few hazards. I also like the variety of his lengths.I also think that experienced golfers can practice their game at this course. The staff is so friendly and helpful and they manage the flow very well. I can't recommend this course highly enough.

RObbery at the booth

The course pricing is very unfair the guys in our group who paid at the course ended up paying less then the one's who used Golf now booking. Because the course is in a County Park they charge us $7.00 dollars to enter on top of the green fees. the one's who paid the course directly received $ 5 back, but we who used Golf now got nothing back, very unfair. I don't ever want to go back there again. They had a indifferent attitude about the situation.

Very well maintained and no complaints. I wouldn't necessarily pay full price, though. There are too many deals to be had, through golfnow.
