Kinsmen Pitch ‘n’ Putt Golf Course

I really love the pitch and putt. It’s a wonderful way to kill a couple of hours. Factor in a sunny Edmonton day and it it can really brighten your morning. It feels like I’m strolling in the woods chasing golf balls, but not walking so much that 9 holes feels taxing. Keep in mind this isn’t a golf course. Bring your pitching wedge, maybe your 9 iron and a putter. Everything is par three with the longest hole about 90+ yards.
There are some weaknesses. If you get the old woman in the clubhouse, don’t expect too much mental activity. Balls are $ 2 and clubs are $ 3 extra so bring both and save a lot of money. Also, the mosquito attack here can be intense. Bathe in Deep Wood before you find your way here.
All in all I think this would be a great date spot. Keep in mind it is located behind the Kinsman Centre. It appears to be confusing if you never have been here before.

I’m a bit of a Pitch and Putt expert. I spent my first 2 seasons learning golf on the PnP courses. This one is not worth going to and I won’t be revisiting it even though it’s the only one in all of Edmonton Capital Region.
Here is a list of cons:
1. $ 20+GST for a round of 18 holes?! You can almost play a full round for that price! And that doesn’t include rentals or balls so its not very friendly for the casual or new golfer.
2. Horrible greens that have long grass, divots and holes, small green sizes, and no real breaks or undulation.
3. The longest hole is only 98 yards and the 2^nd longest is 80 yards! Yes it’s Pitch and Putt but a few longer holes doesn’t hurt. 110 yards at least!
4. Small fairways and dangerous layout that has golfers hitting towards other tee boxes.
5. Location. It’s on the side of a hill which gives it good elevation changes but when you exit the parking lot you have to go north over the low level bridge so if you live on the south side of the river it’s not very convenient.
I’d suggest trying out an executive par 3 instead of wasting money at this city run pitch and putt.

I have mixed emotions on the Kinsmen Pitch ‘n’ Put Golf course. After an hour of driving around to find it — I found it! It really was not that hard to find, I just happen to not be so good with directions.
Friends told me it was around $ 10 to do 9 holes of golf (you can do 9 or 18). Great — I like cheap entertainment! When we got there we found out it was going to cost $ 26 per person — I love golfing, but that might just be a little to steep.
The course is lovely — and it is fun if your up for more then just mini golf. It takes about an hour to do 9 holes.

Its as good as it gets if your here to have fun and sick of that lame ass putting mini golf. This is a two club course I had a blast. Good place to take a date cause you can pull the show her how to hold the club trick with the swinging hips, or the other way around… lol…If your here to play golf stop. theres divots everywhere the conditions suck… theres tree roots everywhere… its a fun place to step it up from mini golf. when its season Im all «FORE» it… damn Im awesome.

I hadn’t heard of this place either until someone mentioned it to me. I was skeptical at first because I couldn’t exactly picture what it was suppose to be and kept imagining mini golf.
Pitch ‘n’ Putt is like any other course except the holes are much shorter. It’s a good place to come just for fun with friends, or if you want to get the feel back for the game. It’s a great place to learn. You can pick up the basics of the game and how to swing rather easily.
It doesn’t take long at all to finish a game and nice to check out in the summer if you are looking for something to do. Playing with friends in a team game can start off a great weekend.

I’d never heard of a Pitch ‘n’ Putt until a friend of mine took me golfing here. Talk about an ego boost. If you’re any good at golf, you feel like Popeye Woods here. The holes are short and so at one point I made it on the green from tee-​off. This is a good way to introduce someone to golf without the intimidation of 18 holes on a busy course where their are serious golfers behind you riding your butt. This is also a good place to start out the season again, if you just want to hit some balls and the driving ranges are full. You finish 18 holes in half the time of a regular game, and it’s gets you back out there swinging your club. I had fun here. It was license to try hard but not take the game too seriously. This course is owned by the city and none of the holes are over 100 yards, so you don’t need drivers on this course. Also, if you don’t like the gym, what a great way to get out walking while doing something else to pass the time. Then you don’t feel too guilty hitting the pub for a cold one afterward.
