Rating 71.2

Knoll Run Golf Course is a challenging 18-hole layout in Lowellville. Don't let the seemingly mild yardage fool you. This course may only be 6,400 yards but there are plenty of challenges in store. Water comes into play on several holes and there are a number of tricky doglegs throughout. One prime example is the par-4 14th, which doglegs in a nearly 90-degree angle to the left. Stands of trees line the fairways as well, but perhaps the biggest challenges on the course are presented by the greens. The subtly contoured surfaces are made even tougher with the addition of strategically placed bunkers. Knoll Run Golf Course's back nine is slightly longer and more difficult. It's a fair but fun test that's not overly demanding and players of any skill level can appreciate the affordability of this public golf course.

A little overrated

We drove 1.5 hours based on the reviews. There were a lot of weeds on the fairways and some brown spots - early in the season. We will not return.

Played the course form the third time in the last 2 years. Have always enjoyed it as it is quite playable with generous fairways. The senior tees are a little shorter than normal but some of the water in front of the greens still makes the approach shot a challenge.

It's become one of my favorite places to play in the area.

Interesting layout

Nice course. Lots of different looking holes you have too manage the course. My only complaint is they book tee times too tight you have too wait on at least 14 of 18 holes so if you book you will be waiting on almost every hole

Hi Carl, thank you for the review. We are happy to hear that our staff was friendly and the course was in good shape. We do however regret to hear that the pace of play was not up to par. This is not the standard we are trying to set for or golfers and will pass this note along to help make improvements. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Top course in area

I've played here three times this year. Course s in excellent shape plenty of drainage. Greens were in awesome shape for this time of year. The greens are tough and challenging but in great shape. They are constantly working on the course adding drainage on every hole. After a heavy rain it was cart path only but really not as wet as we thought. Service is great and people there are very pleasant and I really enjoy their company. Great workers great starters and a great course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.

Just glad to get out.

Considering when and where this took place, late February in NE Ohio, it was just a blessing to get out and play. The course was firmer than we expected, but still no roll on your drive which is to be expected. They had the tees moved up to compensate. The biggest surprise was the greens. They were beautiful! Firm, smooth, and actually kind of fast!

The day before we played at a local "upscale" daily fee course whose greens were absolutely horrible! I don't know how late last year they aerated, but their greens haven't even begun to heal. At Knoll Run the greens were in the best shape you could hope for at this time of year.

There is one thing. The course profile says built in 2006 and that's not quite right. The course was in existence for many years before that and known as Countryside. The course came under new ownership in 2006 and they sunk a lot of money into it, redesigning some holes, building ponds, installing a fairway watering system, and improving the overall condition of the course. It's now a delight to play, and is one of the more popular courses in the area. I just didn't want people to think they were going to encounter a totally "modern" design. A lot of this course is definitely "old school", but still challenging.

Also, the restaurant is a couple of notches up on most golf course eateries around here. A lot of people come here to eat who have absolutely no interest in golf.

Nice Course, Extremely Slow Play

Overall, the course was in pretty good shape. I liked the layout. Greens were in good condition, a little on the slow side but rolled true. If you are a good-intermediate player, strongly encourage playing the blue tees as the course from the white is pretty short. Beware--Pace of play was sloooow. I would probably go back, but probably not during peak times.

Front Nine:

- Pretty wide open. Water doesn't really come into play if you hit quality shots. Par 5s are reachable, but need to play for position off the tee as you can get blocked out by trees.

Back Nine:

- Much tighter, trouble off most of the tees. A lot of doglegs which require position off the tee, some even on second shots. Par 5s are reachable, but again require a good tee shot.

Clubhouse:

- Good food choices, good prices. Beer was pretty cheap. Quick to grab a snack at the turn, good time at the end of the round.

Cons:

- When we were getting ready to tee off, there were 4 groups waiting to make the turn. Although we finished the front 9 in just over 2 hours, I would say that a good amount of that was just waiting on the tees. Was hard to get into a rhythm when you were waiting on 2 groups every tee. The back 9 opened up a little, but it was still pretty slow. Would suggest going with a 4-some, because if you are going with 2, you won't be able to play thru as there is no where to go.

Ego builder

Perhaps one of the more easy layouts I've ever played but the condition of the course and speed of greens made it a very nice experience. First time playing the course and the quality score card (book) made it enjoyable since there was a minimum of frustration from unfamiliarity (hitting good shots with wrong club or location). Perfect blend of quality and quantity.
