Good course with decent forgiveness

Pace was good and wait was minimum. Layout has good forgiveness to the level I am at. It’s a long course but we played white tee so it’s about right distance for me.

Slow,overbooked

The course was in pretty good shape, but another course that overbooked again. 2 hr 25 minutes for 9 holes is horrible. Guys looking for balls, absolutely no rangers in sight.

I like the course but not sure I'd return until they take it seriously

Nice but super slow

It’s a nice course and it’s kept up pretty well. I have two complaints though. One, you have to pay $10 for a day pass to get into the Metropark, even though the entrance to the golf course is only 50 feet passed the toll booth. Two, pace of play was terrible. It took us 5 hours and 20 minutes to play 18 holes, we teed off at 1136 and finished just before 5pm. There were no beverage carts out at all either so that was a bummer, but at least they had 3 water stations. Nice course and well taken care of, but the parking situation is kind of whack and no rangers speeding up pace of play made for a mediocre experience.

Walked

Another great metroparks course

We went a day after it rained and the course was walkers-only which made the experience amazing. Walked 18 holes in 3.5 hours. So much more fun than the typical "wait 5 minutes every drive/approach" experience with carts on 8 minute tee time intervals.

It's exactly what you would expect in a Metroparks course - decent length with wide holes and large greens. Friendly and helpful staff. Course was in great condition throughout, rough was a little long. Pretty view from #8 (par 3). The highway running along the course was unfortunate.

There's no driving range here - just a hitting net. As mentioned in every other review, have a metroparks pass or you're going to pay a $10 entry fee.

Price was great, course wasn't difficult, if you can get on when it's not crowded then it's absolutely worth it.

Always like kensington

Weekend pace of play needs to be addressed. 5 hours for a round and not one ranger ever seen.

Nice but not spectacular

Nice course; good conditions; fast greens, a little water, but not many hazards. Bummer was paying $10 to enter the park - I though my state pass was good for entry, but that was not the case.
