Kensington Metropark

The pace of pay was horrible on the front 9, we were at the tee box with the group in front of us on every single hole! They had to hit 3 times every time before we could even tee off. We never once saw a ranger. We stopped at the clubhouse went to restroom, grabbed a hotdog and drinks and proceeded to the 10th hole. There was a theeaome teeing off, we had to wait approximately 10 minutes before we could hit. On the 11th hole the ranger showed up and told us we needed to step up the pace of play.. mind you no one was behind us waiting. He claimed we were 4 holes behind. We asked where he was on the font none that took us 3 hours to play.. he was extremely rude and clapped and said I hope you never come back. We proceeded to complete the round.. not a single group behind had to wait on us.. we completed that round 1.hour 45 minutes.. oh and the ranger said no more than 8 minutes per hole for a foresome.. this place is really become a joke. We kept place, this use to be one of our favorites but will NEVER return I’ve never been treated so rudely!

Its been a few years sunce i played this course. It is a Metropark course and very attractive and well maintained. Only criticism is that even though youve paid for your round you get hit for $10 to get into the park. This should be part of the advert - its deceptive. PreCovid they would give you a credit at the pro shop. Post Covid they dont. Yet another example of government using Civid to rip off the little guy.

This was my first time going here. They paired with me two other people when I got there so I cancelled. Still waiting for my refund they said would be issued in 3 business days

I would like to know ahead of time of being paired up. Especially when it’s a Thursday at 230pm and course wasn’t busy

GN Hot Deal well worth the rate ($42 - 18 w/ cart). Course was in very condition. No bev cart, but prices in clubhouse were very reasonable - not gouged like most courses. Lay-out is fair and allows some forgiveness. Recommend.

This is a very cool course with lots of elevation changes. The course is interesting and the greens are fast. Something that wasn't fast was the pace of play. Our tee time was 3:30pm and we walked off the course at 8:45pm. I think there are multiple reasons for this. 1. There were walking groups allowed between groups on carts. In my experience, carts are the norm on a busy Sunday which helps with pace of play. 2. The walking group in front of me was made of up players between the ages of 14 and 18 by my estimation. This group looked to have minimum skills which lead them to hit multiple balls on each shot. This could have been mitigated if the course had a ranger to help with limiting this issue. 3. I would recommend that the course consider restricting walking golfers during peak hours on a Sunday.

1st time here. Course was in incredible shape. The pricing was great for both golf and the amenities.

I like the course, but the pace of play was very slow. 5 hour round.

Open fairways. Some tall grass off the fairways that can be tough to find your ball in but it provides a good challenge. Good for price. Be prepared to bring an extra $10 to get into the Metropark.

Played Kensington yesterday and a full round for two took 4:45! Seems like they don’t leave enough time between booked rounds; no marshal was going around to keep pace up.

The toughest aspect about Kensington is having to pay a park fee separately for entering the premises; when the entrance is simply 100 yards past the toll booth. You should simply be able to show booking and they should let you pass. Too much nickel and diming to enjoy fully.

I love Kensington golf course. It’s perfect for players of all abilities. The true value add is the wildlife that will join you on your round. Typical forest friends include deer, raccoons, wild turkeys, and sandhill cranes. A word of caution the Sandhills have no fear of people and see golfers as a food source! They will literally steal food out of your golf cart…I lost a hot dog that way and I’m still bitter that he out smarted me!

I like the course - good layout and condition. But the play was slow as it took almost 5 hours to play. Never order the ham sandwich, it had 1 slim pice of ham on a stale English muffin.

Even after heavy rains on Tuesday and Wednesday the course was in good shape only a few wet spots on Thursday.
