Great Golf at Kensington

Course in great shape. Played 18 as a twosome in 4 hours. Good value. Restrooms need cleaning and refurbishing greatly; terrible condition.

Quite nice

Beautiful course and I found to be very challenging. Thick rough narrow fairways but simply beautiful and very well kept. Like walking on carpet!

Turf management

This course is layed out beautiful. Tees and fairways were in remarkable shape for August. Plenty of wildlife couching me as I played. I will become a repeat player every summer.

August 2022 Kensington Metro

Staff was friendly in accommodating me, a single golfer. Pace was only a minor concern as the group I was paired with preferred to let me golf in front, so as a single, I was mildly delayed. All in all, the course was in great shape and a challenge, even from the white tee position.

Great course

Kensington is always a fun course with deceptively tricky greens and well kept grounds. They pay close attention to pace of play adding to the enjoyment of this well priced course.

Slow Twilight

Booked a 6:00 pm time to play nine or whatever we could get in. No course marshals, this slow play and tank top wearing goons out playing and drinking heavily. Not a fun experience to play nine in a bit over 2.5 hours. Won’t be back for that again

Same Old Kensington

No Kensington, I will not "pair up" with the next tee time and play together. Get this dumb idea out of your brain. How about you get a clue and not schedule tee times every 90 seconds? Speaking of which, nearly 7 hours on a weekday for 18 holes of golf is OBSCENE. Physically, it's a nice, well maintained course that's ruined by clubhouse mis-management. And by the way, none of this is new. I played Kensington a decade ago and it was the same nonsense. Won't be back.

Great local course

Would be one of the better courses in the area if you didn’t have to pay the park entry fee.

good but rough around the edges

Nice layout and greens were fast and pretty good shape. course fairways and around green were too hard. Different length tees are good for different caliber of golfers!
