REMINDER: WATCH YOUR SPEED IN THE PARK!! (Speed limit is 25) More so than other parks, you DO NOT want to get pulled over inside of Kensington, as it can take a half hour of your time, and fines are pretty hefty. Ride the brakes on some of those big hills. You've been warned!!

Eric McCahill   May 28, 2014 at 9:14pm

Hey James, there's no age limit. There's also no list, just first come first served. We'll do our best to get you guys in!

Why do I have to pay to be on the wait list?

Permalink
Mark Stephens   May 28, 2014 at 4:12pm

Because we are not taking cash at the course

Larry Jones   May 28, 2014 at 4:14pm

what happens if im not able to play?

Mark Stephens   May 28, 2014 at 4:19pm

You would be refunded however as I had posted, look at the pool you want to play in and really think if that many people will withdraw allowing you entry. Chances are you will see the chances are quite slim. You would be refunded...

Daymon Pugh    May 28, 2014 at 11:57pm

Where and when might I find tee times

Mark Stephens   May 28, 2014 at 4:11pm

This is how it was run last year (same staff). That was a previous regime.

brent moreno   May 28, 2014 at 2:59pm

So in addition to the registration, obviously the Wait list is till messed up. I will go through the archives of when people contacted us and make sure it all gets straightened up. As Mark stated in another post, the wait list is a good tool but it only applies if the Pools are filled and who is sta ... more

Ed Carpus   May 28, 2014 at 11:43pm

Maybe wait list should not be digital. It's easy to type "put me on the wait list" at 1:15am a few days prior, it's another thing to be there ready to play at 8:30am the morning of...I think of it more as an alternate than a waitlist....
