Ken McDonald Golf Course
About
Located in the metropolitan Phoenix area, the affordably priced Ken McDonald Golf Course is a championship-length course that is suitable for any level of golfer. The flat terrain of the course makes for an enjoyable stroll, while the water hazards that come into play on eight holes provide plenty of challenge. The water hazards are provided by the Western Canal, which flows directly through the golf course. The par-5 11th hole is the longest on the course at 570 yards; it is very difficult to reach in two shots. In addition to the course, Ken McDonald Golf Course offers several other amenities including a restaurant, club fitting and repairs, and professional golf instruction.

Ken McDonald
Great course that is pretty straight forward but it does have a few tricks up it's sleeve.
Course played well and the green were very good.
I will play it again.
Fun, Busy little course
It's hard to rate courses against each other. It's apples to oranges most of the time. You want to spend -$60 and get 18 holes with a cart? Good luck. But you can do that here.
It's so popular that the pace of play here is affected. I play poor golf quickly. I wish others had the same etiquette.
The challenge here is the rough conditions, but that's why they call it the "rough." You're not supposed to be over there silly, so don't complain about it.
With some help from the public in maintaining their own ball marks on the greens, they would be much better. They are slower than average, so you're going to leave some short. Adjust.
All in all, I find it fun. If you hit strait, you will have fun. If you are always playing the other fairway, you will still have fun. Just stay out of the rough.
Massive renovation coming soon, the little bird says!
Very Nice Round
The cost of this course makes it very attractive and it is a nice course. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Conditions were good overall.
Nice muni
First time playing! Some tee box need a little TLC the playable areas greens and fairways are good off fairways lots of bare grass but stay in the fairways nice! Will play again!
Always fun
My wife and I enjoy playing Ken McDonald. Had a continual visiting golf group ahead of us. They were very slow. Finally had to say something on 15. Then they sped up. Other than that, fun time. Played with two very nice people from Calgary.
