Decent Course For The $$

It’s always difficult to judge a course this early in the season. The greens were fine-a bit on the slow side. Fairways were generally good-a bit wet and spongy in some areas. The tees on the par 3’s need some work-lots a divots that haven’t filled in where the tee markers were. They need to move the tee markers around and refurbish the torn up areas. I suspect conditions will approve with the weather.

Solid Golf Course

I hadn't played this course in probably 25 years. It was pretty much as I remember. Enough variety of golf holes to hold your interest, but quite wide open. Trees are set well back from fairways, bunkers arre at the side of the greens, so you can run approach shots onto the green. Course conditions, while not pristine, were better than average.

Good Value Golf

We have played at Kensington once or twice a year for the last 10 years. It's always a pleasant experience. The course conditions are always above average regardless of weather. It's not the toughest layout in the area, but that can be a good thing if you just want to hit some golf shots without being beat up for your mistakes. Overall. Solid value.

Tough Course in Windy Conditions

Coyote is a pretty challenging course--really long par 3's & par 5's. Varied and interesting layout. Greens and fairways in good shape. Surprisingly, several tees were quite torn up, which is a bit strange this early in the Michigan golf season. Maybe a result of a lack of thorough year end maintanence last fall. Overall, a good golfing experience.

Course Needs Work

First time out this year. A couple of greens and several tees are in rough shape. In fairness, southeast Michigan has had a poor early spring. Maybe some better weather and some TLC can improve things sufficiently. I would suggest that number 2 green needs a complete redo. The fairways are decent, though a few spots were quite damp and spongy and overall need to dry out.. I might be inclined to return later in the year to see if condition improve over time. I will say the Hot Deal price wa good.

Interesting layout, nice conditioning

Though not a long course, there is a lot of challenge for the average player. Wetlands and ponds come into play on many holes. Doglegs on several holes demand accurate placement of your tee shot. A nice variety of par 3's. Fairways and greens were generally in excellent condition.

Pleasantly Surprised

I had played here when the course was fairly new, some 20+ years ago. So I didn't know what to expect. The course conditioning was very good, the greens were quite fast, the fairways were were well maintained, and the rough was thick enough to be a challenge. The clubhouse is very nice, with an upscale appearance. A few holes might be considered a bit " tricked up". Overall, an enjoyable afternoon of golf.

Challenging layout, better than average condition.

Coyote is a challenging, but fair course. Only the 4th hole has any "gimicky" feature to it. There are a couple of fairways that are interrupted by 50 yards swaths of rough, which are an unnecessary surprise and maybe a bit unfair if you get out of position off the the tee. My wife would have liked a set of tees longer than the 4900 yard reds, but shorter than the 6300 yard whites. On a couple of holes she ran out of fairway and went into the aforementioned rough areas that on most courses would have been the continuation of the fairway.

Renovations ongoing.

A better than average muni. However, 5 holes were seriously affected by ongoing renovation. Normally, I would recommend Leslie Park without reservation. I would suggest taking a pass for this year, unless you are playing just the front nine.

Good value. Friendly staff.

Good course for getting some swings in early in the year, or for the average golfer. There's enough going on to provide some challenge without beating you to death. Exceedingly friendly people in the pro shop & restaurant.

Decent for the price

First time out this year on a chilly, blustery afternoon. Only paid $13 per person. Good layout, but in need of some TLC. Was once one of the better public courses in the region. Staff was very accomodating when one player was forced to be late and another decided not to play due to the weather. We were given a rain check, which really wasn't necessary.
