Description

A popular municipal course in Tempe, Ken McDonald opened in 1974 with a straightforward parkland layout by Jack Snyder. It's known for affordability, accessibility, and walkability, making it one of the busiest courses in the state. The par 72 stretches about 6,743 yards with tree lined fairways and flat greens. Water hazards appear on several holes, though the routing remains forgiving overall. The course features a large practice range, putting greens, and a relaxed community vibe.

Little more expensive than other public ones around. But great golf none the less. They have kids clinics and some fast greens. What else do ya need?

First, as of Jan2026, the course is in good shape. The fairways were green and the tee boxes were solid. The greens were smooth. There was a big storm in Oct2025 that caused the course to be closed because there was some damage and about 160+ trees were uprooted. There's no visible damage on the course, but many of the cut down trees are still in the rough areas. However, this is not a challenging course compared with those built in the last 30 years. Many of the fairways were flat, straight and had little to no hazards. There's a little water on the course that comes into play for about 6-7 holes, but it is easily avoided. Only 4-5 holes have dog leg turns. Otherwise, I think it's a good course to practice consistency if not for challenging shots. It's still worth a play.

I wouldn’t recommend this course based on the price. You can definitely find equivalent prices nearby with better pace of play and course conditions. This course is a decent course, but with the abysmal pace of play and tree debris everywhere, it’s not worth the $82 round. Fallen trees on nearly every hole, apparently since before Thanksgiving (it’s past Christmas now), slow pace of play (waited every hole), and no Marshalls. For an $82 round, you’d expect better. I used to come here regularly until the price has increased by almost 50% in the past year with no improvements to the course.

Was a decent course to play, but they really need to clean up all the downed trees. It has been 2.5 months since the a micro-burst took out a good portion of their trees, and the trees are all still down creating hazards that swallow your balls. I will try this course again in a few more months once they can clean things up.

Our go-to course! We usually play here twice a month and always have a great experience. The staff is wonderful—when we had a family emergency and had to leave after just the second hole, they were so accommodating and made sure we could come back out the following weekend. Huge shoutout to Marty for the excellent service! Definitely one of the best spots around for value and a great bang for your buck.
