On a cold December day....

Course was in good shape, considering that it is December. Green and tee boxes were in good condition.

Layout makes it

Course was beautiful for the most part, only part that’s lacking is the bunkers. Still worth playing if you pay with a hot deal.

Must play

One of the best public courses in Ohio, always in great shape and the staff is top notch, quite possibly the best staff at any public course, they are always very helpful, and pleasant, nothing bad to say about Kensington.
The course and staff are awesome!!
The layout is second to none.
If you haven’t already played it, put it on the list of must plays.
But do yourself a favor and play the tees that align with your game or this course will be a hand full.
There are several tees that will suit every player.

Lone Ranger

Great layout. You could tell by the amount of footprints on the greens that this course gets heavy play. We started on back nine due to leagues starting later. Mark at the pro shop was very helpful. Ran into a SIXSOME playing a scramble on the back. They wisely split up when they headed to the clubhouse. Course had plenty of staff on hand, can’t understand why no one bothered to split these guys up. As a twosome, we played the back nine in an hour and forty minutes, took almost three hours on the front.

2 Stars.

It rained during the morning before and the next afternoon played terrible. A lot of standing water. The course was also way too busy. We waited 10-15 minutes to tee off on every single hole. It started pouring after the first 9 holes and since we paid for 18, we thought we could get a raincheck for the back which is no problem anywhere else. The older man in the pro shop said there's no such thing as a raincheck for Kensington. Needless to say we ate dinner elsewhere and wont be back. $50 for 18 can be spent at much nicer courses in the area with a more friendly and welcoming staff.

One of the best

This is one of the nicest courses around. The layout fits the terrain to a tee. The fairways are well maintained and the greens are manicured.nicely . Too bad the lazy slobs can't fix the divots. The only drawback we had had was slow play. There was an obese man playing in front of us. He drove the carts close to the greens and then took forever to play but it was a great day on the course. I highly recommend you play this course!

Tough

Course was very wet from recent rains; lots of mud balls. Several blind shots where you have to check the group in front being out of range. On cart GPS shows cart in front on some holes which helps. Don’t recall seeing any drinking water on the course; so, take your canteen! Lots of unfilled/unreplaced divots. Consider playing the ball improved lies in fairways. Wet rough very hard to get much distance. Overall, a good golfing experience.

NO RAINCHECKS

What a crappy business decision to not issue rain checks when your course is unplayable and underwater. TORNADO SIRENS called us off the course followed by a downpour which made the course unplayable. Holding water on the greens. I guess they don’t care if their course gets ruined! They don’t issue rain checks. Paid $65 to play 9-holes! Never again and will NOT RECOMMEND!

Top Notch and First Class

From the moment you show up and see the golfer statue and the pretty pro shop and the gorgeous bar/restaurant, you know you are going to enjoy your day. The course is beautiful, the carts and new and luxurious with the finest full screen GPS system. A fabulous "at the turn" snack bar, nicely priced and lots to get. Course has the largest putting greens you'll every see. I think all 18 greens are the size of Rhode Island.

Hire a landscaping company

Probably the best layout I’ve ever played, not one hole close to copying another.enormous greens. Now the bad! This could be corrected very easily by hiring a landscaping company to fix the many small items.such as areas of cart paths needing repair..the senior tee area for the 15th hole has been torn up all year. 4 guys with rakes could fix this in a days work. I do love this course ,but need to learn a lesson from the course down the street Mill Creek GC.the muny course for Youngstown . Not a unsodded spot on this 36 hole course. Kennsington is supposed to be a destination course with hotels all around it. ACT LIKE IT!!!
