Kennsington Golf Club has always offered Valley golfers a scenic setting and a challenging round. Now, after the clubs are put away, golfers can reward themselves with an upscale dining experience.
One of the most-anticipated additions to the golf club is food service at the Kennsington Grille, which will open this spring. The lounge-style bar, already boasting nine LCD televisions and 16 different beers on tap, will offer an upscale menu of soups, salads, sandwiches and wraps, along with a wide assortment of appetizers.
There will also be dinner specials for those who would like to finish their day off at the Grille.
Otto hopes even non-golfers will take the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking, panoramic view from the veranda of the restaurant, which overlooks the 18th green and the serene lake. The Grille accommodates seating for up to 90 people, with seating for an additional 70 people on the veranda.
The setting is a superb choice for rehearsal dinners, anniversary celebrations, as well as corporate luncheons and dinners.
“It usually takes seven to eight years to grow in a golf course from its inception,” said Paul Otto, general manager and director of golf at Kennsington, “This includes the conceptual aspects of designing the course, to the actual physical landscaping.”
Part of what brings golfers to Kennsington is the course itself. Designed by award-winning golf course architect Brian Huntley, Kennsington boasts carefully-sculpted fairways and strategically-placed hazards, presenting challenges to golfers at every skill level.
For the upcoming season, golfers can cruise the 7,050-yard, 18-hole, par 71 course in new golf carts enhanced with GPS. They can also hit the driving range and full-service practice facility which provide large, spacious areas to perfect drives and putting greens to work on the short game.
Kennsington Golf Club is open to the public and tee times are encouraged. For more information, visit www.kennsingtongolf.com or contact Otto in the pro shop at 330-533-8733.
