good course for the money
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
Disappointing
First of all let me say that the course is generally in good condition. There are some holes that look like a construction zone (hole 12 I'm looking at you). I have not played this course outside of scrambles in 3 years due to pace of play issues. They had issues of letting 5-somes out on weekends. I thought they would have gotten their act together, but they have not. Do not expect to get finished in less than 5 hours...and closer to 6. This is not a first time occurrence as it has become the norm. For my return patronage to this course... I had a 1:39 tee time and did not tee off until about 2:00. I expressed my dismay over the delay to the starter who acted as if I was fortunate to play this public course. He then said that the owner let some groups go out that messed up the tee times,but I don't know if this is true or if someone can't handle scheduling tee times.The practice green was near the first tee and it would have been nice to use, but there were about 4 people hitting flop shots onto the practice green and I became concerned that I would get clocked. After finally teeing off it was about 8 to 10 minutes waiting to hit the next shot which does wonders for your rhythm.
The course layout is nice, but unless you tee off really early you are in for a frustratingly long day of waiting. It's a shame since the course layout is nice, but pace of play continues to hurt this course. If they would improve on this it would likely be a much better public course experience. There are too many other good public course options to spend your money.
Great
Overall layout excellent, lots of character. Very good service, would very much recommend. One suggestion, better marking for next tee location.
Thank you
Best layout around
This course has one of the best layouts of any public course within an hour of Pittsburgh. Opening three holes are fantastic, and none of the subsequent holes were boring in any way. It's definitely a tough track from back playing a true 7000 yards. Most holes have hazards and there are lots of bunkers. Condition of the of course was excellent too. Certainly would drive more than an hour to play here.
This course has great features
WELL WHAT CAN I SAY THE COURSE WAS EXCELLENT . I WILL PLAY MORE THERE!!!!!!
Great Value, Nice Layout
Was pleasantly surprised as this was the 1st time I played the course. Paid only $29 for a Golf Now deal, great value for the money.. Holes have character, greens are fast, very friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone and will play again the next time I'm in the Youngstown Area. Played at 12noon on a Thursday and the course was open with very few players on it. Played as a threesome and got 18 holes in, in under 3 hours!
worth the trip
Course is in great shape for this early in the year, for some reason this saturday afternoon the course was not overly busy for teeing off around noon.
Good layout, but played off-season
The course had a nice layout. There were a couple holes that were quirky requiring tee shots to slanted fairways. Hard to give an overall assessment of the greens because it was during the fall and right after a storm, so there was a lot of debris and leaves to deal with.
Unfortunate Level of Maintenance
As you pull into the parking lot, the grounds and service will make you think you are at a private club. Before I got out of my car, there was a young man with a cart (and his hand out for a tip- which is a theme that continues. I have absolutely no problem giving attendants a tip, but I don't expect to multiple times and every time I turn around, which the attendants were very aggressive about). Unfortunately, the parking lot is where the similarities to a private club end. This course is such a nice layout, it is a shame that the maintenance crew seems to be so lacking in their upkeep of the course. Greens- terrible with pitch marks and dead grass. Fairways- unplayable in places due to divots and dead areas. Seems that the course places much more attention on the driving range, clubhouse, and restaurant/ bar than it does on the course itself. If you're coming for dinner, a drink, or to hit a bucket of balls, it should be an enjoyable experience. If you're coming to golf, save your money. There's many nicer courses within a short drive.
The course is not only beautiful, it is a golfers dream
When you go golfing you look for a place you can remember and talk about, well this is the place. Great fairways and greens and the landscaping is amazing. I want to play there again as soon as I can. Loved it!
Course has a great layout!
Course was in great condition except for most of the greens. They were bumpy from either a lot of play or a wet summer or both. They actually had to micro-aerate a few to try to get them back into shape.
Apres golf is great there too!
The greens are ruined by ball marks that are not fixed by players. The staff need to remind the players to fix the marks.
This course is really a enjoyable course. The GPS is very helpful.
I wish they provided a couple of rest rooms and drinking water coolers.
Excellent course, interesting layout, scenic and great value
Excellent course with a great layout, and a number of interesting holes that make you think on shot selection. A number of blind shots with hazards but the GPS in the carts alert you to these. Course is scenic as it is cut through a wooded area that has been made into a housing development but the houses are far enough away and not over-bearing. Couse is well maintained and a great value. Comparable to the Quarry course in Canton area but with much more reasonable greens fees.
Great course. It was extra difficult due to the rain that day, but still in great shape.
Love the course. I'll play there again for sure. Great value.
This course has difficult hole positions
My friend and i travel to Ohio for golf typically. We have heard great things about this course but have never got the opportunity to play. We finally played this weekend and were thrilled at the condition and challenges the course had to offer. Playing from the Black Tees opened up new challenges and obstacles for us to navigate. We will definitely play this course again.
Needs alot of work
The course is NOT in good condition. The tee boxes are all full of sand. The greens are terrible. Way too many ball marks. And the condition of the grass is spotty. I love the layout (thanks, Mr. Huntley) but this course is in dire need of some TLC. What a shame this place could be a gem. I will never come back here again.(and I played here every year since they opened around 8 years ago.) but with these conditions my money spends well better for a better groomed course.
great value
Very good golf course......challenging, with very large and difficult greens. Lots of undulations. Conditions were good and pace of play was great. Snack bar and patio are nice and staff was friendly.
Excellent Layout, Needs TLC
The layout of this course is excellent. It has lots of mature trees which really adds to its scenery. The bunkers are in excellent condition. The fairways have bald spots that need repaired, which takes away from the great look of the course. Also, the tee box behind #15 is like a mud gully that's been that way for at least 2 years. That makes for an ugly approach to the tee box.
nice variety of holes,choose the correct tees box for your skill level and you will have a great time at kennsington
Kennsington is a great course to play,if it wasn't a 1:15 minute drive I would play there all the time.Nice variety of holes fair greens,bunkers maintained,water comes into play on many holes. no 2 holes are the same. Clubhouse and restaurant nice also.
Late fall round.. great condition
Have played here several times.. Always a great course..... Staff friendly..Course was in good condition.
I agree, they have a sign in the landscaping near the clubhouse that says "Here lies the last person that didn't repair their ball mark. "I got a chuckle out of it and commented I wanted to take that sign to a different course I play that has a bad problem. I think courses should hand divot tools them out free because they cant cost that much.
