Kent State University Golf Club, CLOSED 2016

Kent State University Golf Club, previously named Meadowview Golf Course, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Kent, Ohio. Kent State purchased the course in 1966.

The golf course originally opened in 1922.

Home to the Kent State Golden Flashes Men's and Women's golf teams, Kent State University Golf Course offers a round of golf challenging enough to allow these college athletes to compete on a national level. Best known for its vivid colors in the spring and fall as well as an old railway that runs nostalgically through the middle of the course, Kent State portrays a portion of Northeastern Ohio golf history with a classical aesthetic.

The championship layout at Kent State immediately joined the natural beauty of the surrounding area with a top-of-the-line design. The course's well-kept grounds feature firm Bermuda grass fairways that are spacious enough to accommodate aggressive tee shots. Mature trees line the outskirts of slight doglegs that bend towards fast bent grass greens. Water hazards come into play on three holes.  The fast greens are small and some are well protected by sand bunkers.

Playing to a par-70, the 5,389-yard layout demands less distance from your driver in exchange for more consistency from your putter. Speedy greens and a fair measure of undulation makes sure your quest for par or better is earned with the flat stick. With a course/slope rating of 64.9/107, fits any style and caliber of player, and proves to be a favorite of visitors time and again.

As you may expect, Kent State University Golf Course is all about improvement. During your visit, you'll find some of the best practice facilities around. There's ample room to improve on every club in your bag, with a natural grass driving range and a chipping/putting green as large as the clubhouse.
