Ken McDonald Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Thumbs up!
We liked the course and thouroughly enjoyed the afternoon
Good value
A good muni course and excellent breakfast. Normally things run smoothly but this tome I didn't get paired up on time putting me off for an hour.
GolfNow is not in sync with their T Times
Went on GolfNow and reserved a t time for an 18 holes. At the pro shop, I was told I signed for an 9 holes. My confirmation email from golf now clearly shows 18 holes.
Fun course
Neighborly but on hole 2 the maintenance guys were cutting grass in the middle of day which is fine but on that hole I could not hit drive shot, hit second shot or putt for birdie without serious interference from outside staff (occurred on hole 2) and I was even par after 1 playing two balls by myself with no in front or behind me(play). I found this experience to be off putting
Loved playing this course
Pace of play was really good & the staff super friendly. See you soon.
After reading the reviews
I’m new to Tempe Arizona and was very excited to play all the courses around the area. After reading some of the reviews about this course I expected to see a rundown train wreck but instead I was pleasantly surprised to see what great course it really is.
New management not impressive
The course is full of weeds, dry and the bunkers are terrible.
No starter or ranger. Group ahead was constantly two holes behind and with nor another round took 45 minutes longer than it should have.
Cart had a flat tire. Luckily that was discovered on the first fairway. With no staff present on the course or cart area I had to find a new cart on my own.
How could they have no rangers or starter when they had months to prepare for the takeover?
Prior they had volunteer staff but did not think about keeping them on or replacing them.
Not an impressive start up. Lots of posters talking about exciting things to come but no sign of that so far.
