Great value and clean
First time. Thought it was a fair course that sort of penalized you when the tee shot went awry. I threaded (and didn't thread) the needle many times between trees but it was reasonable. Would play again.
Awesome Round
My friend and I played at this course on Sunday along with an elderly couple. Course is at fairly good condition and maintained well. We played white tee with total around 6350 yard long which I felt a little bit too long for me. Speed was on average, spent 3 hours on first 9 and 2.5 for second 9. It seems no ranger on the course, otherwise who would be able to help to ask groups in front of us keep speed.
Anyway I enjoyed the round.
Kensington was perfect !!
played Kensington this past week. Absolutely great experience. Course in great shape, personnel very professional. Tee's and greens well kept. Carts function nice. Overall great experience.
Fun course
Great course in excellent shape and good price to play. Enjoyed it very much.
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.
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.
Superb
Course was in fantastic condition, we had a great time.
Another forward tee would be of use for Seniors
Pace of play to slow
Course allows walkers during prime time. Tee time was at 9:12. and because walkers were elderly like myself turned into a 5 hour round. No rangers in site. Walkers had no groups visible to them after 1st hole.
Nice greens
The fringe around the greens is bad spotty grass not smooth
