Kimberton is well kept for as much play as it receives. It is challenging enough to still have fun. Play is fairly quick both on the weekdays and weekends. Prices are good and the twilight prices cannot be beaten.

Customer Service

The customer service is excellent. They are friendly and knowledgeable, and the snack bar’s Kimberdogs hit the spot after a fun round of golf.

Layout

Slow play

I actually have to agree with deadlyputter and your personal attack invalidates any point you may have had. I think your frame of reference and his may be different if you are bringing Valley Forge into the argument... which can't even really be considered a golf course. Play Honeybrook, Hickory Valley, Bella Vista, Turtle Creek, etc.. before Kimberton. All better courses in better shape in the area, but aimed at a different type of golfer than Kimberton. Kimberton is a blue collar course that has some great holes and is in OK shape. Every level of golfer can play here and feel comfortable. Tends to be slow (I have seen the 1st tee with 5+ groups all waiting to tee off), but the staff is great.

Great

Very playable Good condtion Friendly Staff Low price

Crowded on league nights

"deadlyputter" isn't very bright (see his review below. Kimberton isn't a championship course, but it has many challenging holes (abouot 5-6) and the rest are average. None are below average, and neither is the course conditioning. They keep great care of it considering how much it gets played. There are several other courses in the area that are much worse, like Valley Forge. I enjoy playing there 2-3 times a week. It is a great course for working on your game. A few holes where you can really work on course management.

Conditions, Pace of play

This course defines the term dogtrack. It is an average layout that gets WAY too much play and is dirt cheap. It is kept in avg. to below avg. shape and there is simply nothing remarkable about any hole on this course. I live down the street and play there often and can't imagine how people can give it a 4. Not quite sure what their fram of reference is. You get what you pay for at this course.

Customer Service

Good

The greens have always been the equalizer here, small, firm and fast...yet always fair. Great layout, one of Fazio's first designs I understand.

the par 5's and a couple of par 3's were a bit short, I am a long ball hitter, and enjoy the challenge of trying to reach a difficult par 5 in two.

Great course for the money, I play here as often as I can. It is challenging enough for skilled players, yet wont discourage higher handicap players.

Customer Service

Customer service was great. Friendly, courteous, and helpfull staff. They have a PGA head professional and two assistant professionals who are both qualified teachers.

Have taken a few lessons here with outstanding results, would suggest others to try so themselves.

Good greens and fairways.

Bunkers are to hard not soft enough.

It is a good little course i play alot. It is a good price for 18 holes and has some hard areas. The par 5's are easy if you can hit the ball far. Greens are the hard spot to put on, very hard to hold greens.

The course was very well kept. The greens were consistent.

A little out of the way in Phoenixville.

This is one of my favorite courses in the area. Very well kept, consistent greens, helpful staff, and reasonably priced.

The water hazards are well-placed, which tends to help my game. I'm the type of player that never hits water unless it is 100 yards off of the fairway. If the water hazards are in the direct route of play, I'm usually able to hit over them or lay-up, but if there is water off to the side, I find it very easy. Basically, I suck on those types of holes. Mind games, I guess. The Par-4 11th is 445 yards, so I was able to swing away on my approach shot since I usually don't try to kill the drive. The Par-4 18th offers one of the best views I've seen on a golf course. Beautiful hole! The Par-5 15 is a tough hole, but if your tee shot stays left, it is easily reachable in 2.

Some of the rough areas were, well, very rough. The 17th hole has a trash pit to the right of the fairway. The overall course layout was awkward. The tee box on the Par-3 6 has a mat instead of grass.

Not bad at all. $13 to walk after 3:00. The tee boxes were well kept. The fairways were nice and soft. The greens are small and a little fast, but played basically the same throughout. The sand traps were just about perfect.
