Excellent
The course was beautifully maintained. I will be back. Greens were nice.
Very good value
Course was in very good shape. The course was very crowded and there were long waits in between shots. If pace of play was better the day would have been perfect.
go early
course is very nice. well maintained. gets crowed if you don't have early tee time
Great bang for the buck
I was born and raised in the SE MI, and lived within 5 miles of Kensington for over 10 years. I played Kensington every now and again, but was never really impressed with it, and never considered it as a regular place to play.
This summer, after moving out of state, I was back home visiting family and we decided to play out at Kensington with my teenage son. Wow, was I impressed. First, the clubhouse has completely been re-done and is now very, very nice. Second, the course condition was fantastic. Greens were perfect, rolled very nicely and were relatively fast. In fact, after playing another course in the area the same week, one that was much more expensive and relatively highly regarded, I was even more impressed to see the condition of Kensington. So much so that I played it again before leaving MI.
If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive track, with a decent layout in very nice condition, Kensington fits the bill.
Great shape for course that is used a lot
Great shape for public course. Staff very good. Only need to pair people into foursomes.
good course
Course is always challenging and always in great shape. Play use to be a little slow but this time we played in 3:20 for a threesome, not bad at all. Course plays long from the whites so be ready for a challenge if you can't drive straight and long.
Good to enjoy
Played with my wife as 2 sum. Due to week day good pace to play, so no big waiting time and enjoyed play.
Overall Great!!
Me and the Mrs simply wanted to get away from our usual golf courses and this turned out to be great a choice! facilities were very well maintained and clean. Personnel were very friendly and made us feel comfortable. Walkers kind of slowed us up after the first 9 but thats OK as we were not in a rush to get home.
We will be back!
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!
Parkland Course in excellent condition
I have played here many times over the years. It is a wonderful course well worth the money
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.
Great Value
Played during the day on a Friday. Excellent value for the round. Course is in good shape with some weather damage on the greens. Look forward playing again
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.
This course is excellent
The greens are great, a challenging course if you don't hit your tee shots fairly straight.
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.
