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.

Overall conditions for this time of year were good
Played in 3:50 as a foursome on a Saturday afternoon with waits at only a few holes ... overall a great experience.
Can’t beat it for $20
Paid $20 for a weekday afternoon to play 18. You can’t beat that deal anywhere right now. Course is in decent shape considering summer conditions. Would definitely play again
Best golf course in Tempe
No wait
Able to tee off early
Good speed of play
Kenny Mac Review
Great staff, including Larry as a starter, Des in the restaurant. Got out early. Just wish you could drive the cart on the 9th fairway.
Unpleasant Experience
My group plays this course often. The customer service seems to be in decline. From the check in to the starter, treated poorly and disrespectful.
In addition, we were not alerted they would be fertilizing the course during the round. The crew spreading the fertilizer had no regard for his safety or that of the players..
Hot day and no drink person out on the course. No Marshall on the course, Players visibly skipping holes or repeating holes hampering pace of play.
Disappointed at best.
