The Kent State Golden Flashes men's golf team is an intercollegiate sport at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, United States. The program was established in 1934 and competes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association at the Division I level as a member of the Mid-American Conference. Through the 2016–17 season, the Flashes have won 26 conference titles, which includes two championships won as a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference prior to 1951. The 24 MAC titles are the most men's golf titles in conference history and the most conference titles among any sport at Kent State. In addition to their conference titles, Kent State has made 32 appearances in the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships, winning three regional championships and advancing to the championship rounds 20 times. The program's highest national finishes are a tie for 5th in 2012, 6th in 2008, and 9th in 2000. Through 2017, Kent State has produced 24 MAC medalists.
Windmill Lakes Golf Club in Ravenna serves as the program's home course and occasionally hosts matches. The main practice facility is the Page and Ferrara Golf Training and Learning Facility, a 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) building located in Franklin Township, which the team shares with the women's golf team. The facility includes a 350-yard outdoor practice range, outdoor practice tees, and outdoor short-game practice areas as well as an indoor putting and chipping area, a video analysis room, and a Science and Motion Putt lab. In addition, the rear of the facility features heated stalls which allow team members to access the driving range year-round.
Herb Page serves as head coach, a position he has held since 1978. Under Page, Kent State has won 21 MAC titles and made 27 appearances in the NCAA tournament. He has been named MAC Coach of the Year 20 times and NCAA District IV Coach of the Year nine times through 2016. Notable players from the program include 2003 British Open champion Ben Curtis, and Canadian professional golfers Bryan DeCorso, Mackenzie Hughes, John Mills, and Ryan Yip.
