Kennsington Golf Club

very slow over 5 1/2 to play a round

I enjoyed the layout of this course and found it challenging. The greens and fairways are in good shape. Except for the rude local who jumped in front of me on the 10th the day was very pleasant and the pace was acceptable.

The course was in excellent condition. The pace of play was very slow on the front nine, but the back nine was well paced.

Had a tee time shortly after lunchtime an the round took 5 1/2 hours in 89 degree heat. On holes 1-8 when we got to the tee the group in front of us was sitting there in their cart and hadn't hit a tee shot yet. Saw a ranger once during this 5 1/2 hours and none of our foursome played well as a result.

Awesome track! Fairways, tees, greens all in great shape! Many different tee options for all skill levels. GPS in the carts is always a plus. Definitely one of the top 3 courses in the valley in my opinion.

It is at the top of price in the area but well worth it. Course was in excellent condition. It is one of the more difficult courses in the area but is a must play. Will be back again soon.

Interesting layout. Exceptional staff. Course was a bit soft and wet but still highly enjoyable. A definite replay next time I am in the area.

The course was in great shape and was a great value at the price!! Played with a couple of other players who were familiar with the course which helped. Was a bit more difficult than my wife is used to, but one of the nicer/more difficult ones I have played in quite a while.

Excellent value at the price!!

The day we played, the weather was, in a word, rotten! Very cold with a wind howling out of the North. Having been soaked by recent rains, there was no roll so the course played long even though we moved up a set of tees.

There are 5 sets of tees so you can pick the length that suits you, but the course will still be a challenge. The greens are huge and well bunkered. Many seem to be 2 or 3 greens in one, and if you put your approach in the wrong place, you are in for an adventure!

There are holes that call for forced carries over hazards that are daunting. Think Ohio is flat land? Play here and you will be quickly disabused of that notion!

We will play here again, but will wait for better weather to firm the course up. I will say that the hot deal we got on GolfNow was amazing. There are goat ranches in the area you can't play for so little!

course tough for people over 70 but was is great shape would play again

This is a tough course; can't always see the flag and layout confusing. Expensive, unless using golf now

Having recently relocated to Pittsburgh, several acquaitances suggested playing this club.
Well worth the visit.
The staff was very pleasant, welcoming and genuinely interested in starting our day off well.
The course overall holds ones attention as the design includes expansive fairways and greens, well placed bunkering and natural hazards that require controling ones ball at all times. Several stout holes were balanced with “shorter” reward holes.
Green surfaces are large, multi-tiered and noting pin placements are a must. GPS on the carts really helps with yardages as well as pin locations.
Pay attention to the putting green as the speed and slope are exactly what you will find on the course.
First timers, regardless of skill, might play it one tee forward and use the initial visit as a learning experience. There are a few forced carries and blind landing zones.
Post round, a “must” is the restaurant that serves very tasty sandwiches, apps and full meals with a great variety of craft beer on tap.
Enjoy this course and will be back as often as I can.

Critique/Total Possible Points/Points Received

Greens are larger than other courses in the area. Course looks like a links style one would find in Pine Hurst North Carolina. There is a dress code basically same attire one would wear on the tour. Miss the fairways this time of year good luck finding your golf ball between the leaves and rough. Judging from the caliber of homes built around the course and the club house set up this course may soon require members only to play.

Other than the aerated tee boxes, the course was in excellent shape. I have been coming to this course for the past 5 years and it has gotten better every year. If you haven't been to this course, do yourself a favor.

Excellent course, a little crowded. A threesome jumped in front of us on the back, where is the starter? Love the GPS on the carts.

We enjoyed a beautiful mid-70's August week day on this course. Not too crowded. Perfect pace of play. Course is in good condition. I might recommend more water availability on the course. Also, we never saw the "drink cart".

The course was in very good condition considering the large amount of rain it had received in the proceeding days. A very good golf course that is getting better with age.
Well worth the trip to enjoy one of Ohio's finest.

Much of what the previous reviewer said was true. Pace of play stinks, staff attitude upity. Having said that the course looks like a real golf course, traps, trees, wetlands,water, many tee boxes and very large undulating greens. Have played here many times and the greens have always looked beat up, maybe a lot of play from ignorant people or maybe the need for more care. Most of the scenery consists of large homes. Price for senors on a weekday$28. Would I play here again? If scheduled on the groups play list yes if not no.

played here for the first time last year and have loved it ever since. greens roll true and sometimes fast. the course is always tip top. your be faced few semi blind tee shots. alot of the time club selection is key off the tee. the carts have a gps that tell you yardage to the front middle back of green and to the stick. i have one con about this place it holds water but overall an amazing place to play if you haven't here yet dont wait any longer! for 45 dollars you cant beat it
