Bad idea at the flag sticks

As usual the course was great shape . Fairways were in good shape considering this is spring time in Ohio.. the greens were in great shape and pretty fast. My only complaint was the placing of the flagsticks in white PVC plastic pipe sticking 4 inches out of the hole was not a great idea. Hard to tell if anytime the ball hit the PVC pipe it would have gone in or not. I recently played another course where the flagsticks were inserted into a styrofoam -rubber type pin holder that allowed the ball to fall in the hole about 2 inches deep. . But still was a great day.

Better than ever

I think Kennsington is the jewel of Mahoning county.The course is in very good shape for this early in the year.Greens were in very good shape with just a little top dressing barely noticeable. This is one of the very best course layouts in northeast Ohio. All the course personal are very nice.. It’s always a pleasure golfing at Kennsington

Great shape course

Playing Kennsington this early in the spring can be a pretty wet deal,but today the course was in great shape.The greens have been redressed and were in very good shape. Only two fairways were not allowing carts on them. Snack bar not opened yet, but that was expected. All in all it was a great day on a great course

Nice but....

Very nice course with nice pro shop and restaurant. Nice layout. Nice carts with GPS. Greens are average. Fairways were cut nice but did have some dead areas. Only negative was the rough. The rough grass was extremely tall. It really hurt the pace of play. Rough was almost a foot tall in some areas. Other than that we had a great time.

Kensington GolfNow Review

Course is an interesting layout. Unfortunately, pace of play is incredibly slow because of the difficulty of the course. People do not play appropriate tee boxes for skill level and the course does nothing to encourage / suggest players play from the appropriate tee boxes. Be prepared for a very long slow round.

I've seen this Place A LOT BETTER

So this course has a great layout and fair bunkers are in good shape but this course gets a lot of rain and they haven't cut the rough in probably over a week fairways are still decent Greens have really went downhill they are just flat out beat up too many unfixed ball marks which really takes away from the experience they're not necessarily slow but bumpy They just are getting too many golfers It took me 3 HOURS and 34 minutes to play 9 holes at number 2 there were 5 groups on the hole 3 whole groups waiting on the tee a group in the fairway and a group on the green the starter essentially is worthless I opted to not even try my second 9 because the wait they just let these outings destroy pace of play not to mention the course. This was my first time here this year but have been playing this course for over 10 years this is as bad as I've seen it the FOOD is Great but the golf is just not up to par

Going Downhill

I have played this course many times of the past few years, and the condition of the course gets wore every time. The course is still in good shape and one of the best in the area, but they seem to care more about adding hotels and banquet centers, rather than taking care of the course. Still a great course due to layout, but not a top tier course like in the past.

Lots of Potential

This course was a nice surprise! I thought it played very well with some appropriately placed hazards on certain holes. Hopefully it will be around for years to come.

Maintenance of greens

I play Kennsington on a pretty regular basis. I think it’s certainly one of the very best course layouts in northeast Ohio.The problem I have is the poor shape of the greens . In the spring they were great .Now they a covered with ball marks as if nobody ever thought of repairing there own ball marks., much less someone else’s . Even if they just had containers of sand -seed mix on each tee area so the golfers could repair the tee areas.

I like the course. It is true challenge for me.However, all the rain that has fallen in the past months has been hard on the course, especially the greens, which are slower than I recall in the past. Many of the greens had unrepaired ball marks, which was particularly frustrating. But overall, a very good course.
