The greens are in terrible shape

The course was not in good shape. The greens were hit hard by the bad winter and it appears they haven't put any money into fixing them. Also the fairways were patchy and I think they might want to sharpen the blade on the mowers. Overall it wasn't worth the money. To add you think you are getting a good price then you get hit with a $5.oo parking fee that normally can come off your bill but not if you book through Golf Now. Ended up costing the same price.

Greens not recovered from winter

Wide open course that plays long. Driver on almost all 4's and 5's. Greens are in the process of recovering from the brutal winter, but they are the worst I've played all year. Few bunkers and no water in play. Beautiful new Clubhouses, but food options are very limited.

weather has taken it's toll

The cold winter has taken it's toll on this course. The greens were in horrible shape. The fairways were patchy at best. Our start was held up by about 5 minutes while the staff tried to get carts for the group paired with us. There were no rangers on the course to speed things up; we were waiting on every shot and there was a hole and a half empty in front of the group we were waiting for. This has always been one of my favorite courses in the area. I won't be back for a while after this outing.

They are charging $7 park fee this year

Undoubtedly the winter has been hard on the course. Fairways were rough.

The park has started charging $7 to get into park to play golf. The gate people give you a $5 credit on golf, but since I already prepaid they would not give me $5 credit.

Someone should let you know before hand it is going to cost $7 more.

Mother's Day Delight

I enjoyed everything about my Mother' s Day round with one exception and it is of no fault to the golf course. There is a shooting range nearby and I was quite bothered by the sound of guns popping and banging continuously from holes 3 through 12. It's a shame the beautiful nature and scenery has to be spoiled for others by this noise pollution.

This course has great charater.

Kensington Golf Course has all the features (sand, water, hills, mature tree lined fairways and quick greens) you like to see on a golf course. A very friendly and well maintain course to play, not long, but you will use most clubs in your bag. And one of the nice things about playing here is, the wild life that is abundant, from the first tee, to the eighteen green.

Nice course but picked the wrong day!

This course is nice but the day we went we had to play the front nine twice since they were airiating the greens. The holes in the greens were big also so our putting was pretty useless. We had to wait a lot on this day too!
Overall the course seemed nice & I would recommend it to play after the greens get better & the back nice opens up. I realize all courses do the airiating so we just went there on the wrong day. We got a good deal the day we played so the money was worth it anyway. (Make sure you give the pro shop your park entry pass so you can get $4.00 back.) It is nice to go golfing at this course & also to just go to Kensington Metro Park. There is a lot to do there to enjoy a whole day!

Very forgiving but also challenging.

Raining the day we played but greens still rolled true and somewhat fast for the weather. Overall course condition for this late in the season was excellent!!

Poor customer service.

15 minutes prior to tee time starter is rushing us to tee off.
Retired guys running club house unfriendly.
They had the golf course over booked.
Over 5 hour round.

The course both challenging with great features

Me and my wife has played this course in the past. In each instance, we left pleased with the course condition and friendly staff. What made it even nicer this time was the reduction in cost thanks to Golfnow. Thanks you Golfnow!!!

Greens are Great!

Fairly easy course that allows for some mishits. I missed nearly every green and shot 81. The greens are incredibly healthy, roll true and are decently quick. They would have to be in the running for best greens in the area, currently. The only downside, for what would be a great course... Usually busy, freeway noise and constant gunshots from the range. Makes for a noisy day.
