Kensington Metropark
Played On 07/06/2023Mixed Bag
To start, I would recommend carpooling with your group as there is a $10 per car fee to enter into the park on top of rate. This was not disclosed and the poor kid at the gate said he gets asked by ‘everybody’ about this. This takes away from what would otherwise be a great ‘value’ course. With that being said- you get what you pay for with a near 5-hr slow round. Conditions are pretty well kept for a public course, although the greens were slower than most in the area. The layout has more than a handful of forced hard dogleg (see attached pic for extreme) lefts making it very difficult off the tee without a hook (not draw). Overall average course- probably will play at most 1-2 times a year here.

Very challenging layout with water all over the place. If you have not played the course before there are many blind shots and doglegs. Well kept, although greens were not as fast as I would have expected. Average value, playing prime time on a Saturday morning you will pay a premium. Would come back.

Pace of play was about the only thing this course had going for it. Greens were best kept part of the course and solid speed but on more than one hole there were multiple dead patches. Tee boxes were rock solid, so much so that on one hole had to get on one knee to pound the tee into the ground. If you did not hit the fairway there was a good shot your ball would end up in a patch of dirt/sand. Yardage markers were sporadic and often times inaccurate. No water available (only for purchase) on a 75 degree summer day. Overpriced, for $40 there are numerous other courses around that present a much better value.

Good value for the area but not anywhere near the course it once was. There is a reason they are no longer private
