Greens in bad shape

Worst I’ve ever seen the greens here.

Appreciate it’s been a really wet winter but seeing the greens needing watered should’ve been a sign. Lots of greens either over seeded or with loads of dead grass.

Made for a tough time on most greens. Rest of course in great condition but for the money, the greens aren’t there yet

Simple course but in very good condition

Setting aside the first 2 holes and few isolated holes, the course is dominated by par 4s very similar to each other up and down. Lovely par 3 12th and couple elevated greens can make approach tricky but on the whole course is relatively simply laid out. Was hoping for more variety and felt that let the course down from being above average. For start of April course condition was very good.

Knock GC

I played Knock GC for the first time yesterday with my 2 sons.

The course is a hidden gem in the heart of east Belfast, lots of par 4’s to get the driver out for a few challenging par 3s. The greens were a little slow, with lots of leafs about, being autumn. I will definitely be back for another round.

Lightning greens

Really enjoyed playing at Knock. Course was in fantastic condition. Greens were extremely fast and pin positions were very difficult (Captain’s Day). Would definitely play here again.

Slow Round

Course was in great condition but due to a 4 ball who wouldn't allow anyone to play through, it was one of the longest rounds of golf I've ever played.
