About Ken McDonald Golf Course

Ken McDonald Golf Course is one of two City of Tempe municipal courses on East Divot Drive, positioned near Tempe's Kiwanis Park and the developed suburban core of the city. The course offers a traditional flat desert parkland layout with mature trees, well-maintained Bermuda fairways, and modest green complexes that prioritize playability. As a municipal course serving Arizona State University's community, it attracts a diverse mix of students, faculty, families, and Tempe regulars. Ken McDonald is the larger and more challenging of the two Tempe city courses compared to the executive Rolling Hills layout, making it suitable for regular rounds rather than quick executive play. Green fees remain affordable and the course offers reliable conditions year-round.

History

Ken McDonald Golf Course was established as a City of Tempe public recreation facility, named in honor of Ken McDonald, a significant figure in Tempe's civic history. The course has served Tempe's diverse community for several decades, functioning alongside the city's parks and recreation system as an accessible, affordable golf option in the urban core.

ASU students, Tempe residents, and East Valley golfers wanting an affordable, convenient municipal round with traditional parkland character.
