First Time Playing

Not bad

This was the first time playing here. The course was in pretty good shape. Clubhouse was nice and grabbed a quick bite at the turn. This is a good course for a high handicapper. I played the white but should have played the blues. Its relatively short. The greens rolled true. This is a great scoring course. There arent many challenging shots. The 18th is a par 5 that plays as a par 4. I would say that all the par 5's are short. I would play again for sure.its a good course for the money.

This course and staff are great ! I am teaching my wife to play and she loves this particular course due to the fact there are no sand bunkers. The staff is always friendly and personal .

Different Course

I was really concerned about playing this course due to past experiences. A friend and I found a good deal on Golfnow. We were both pleased with the condition of the entire course. The staff was really friendly! We will start playing this course more often!

Enjoyable

Good course overall! I’m not the biggest fan of the back nine, but I really like the front so, sometimes it is what it is.

Green’s seems to be in good shape.

Fairways were extremely hard and dry. Good for roll. Not good for a “pick it clean” player like me...when I found the fairway that is.

I shot a “94” to give you my skill level.

I enjoyed it. Will probably stick to only 9 here though.

Greens need some work, Great staff and layout

I enjoyed my Memorial Day round. Staff is awesome. The greens had been recently punched and sanded...that was a mild disappointment. Keep working hard on making the course great.

Terrible Workers!

Long story short, I called the day before to make sure 5 could play. They said it was okay, drove 1.5 hours to play and once we arrived, their extremely rude pro shop guy refused to let us play. Would not go if my round was free!

Rock Hard Fairways

I played in the summer so it was kind of dry, but not dry enough to have dirt in the fairways. I thinned some of my approach shots because there was absolutely no grass underneath the ball. The greens were ok, but the fairways were absolutely terrible. Don’t waste your time and money. Don’t go.

Thank you for the review. I was disappointed to read that you were not happy with the conditions of the fairways this past summer. We always strive to make sure all of our guests at Knox Muni feel as if they have had a fun and enjoyable experience at a great value, and it appears that we've fallen short of that goal during your visit - I apologize that we did not meet those expectations for you. That said, we do believe the course went into the dormant season of winter in arguably the best condition we have been in in quite some time, and certainly hope you will give us another try this spring/summer when the course "greens" back up from the cold of the off-season. Hope to see you soon!

I had a great round

I had a great round of golf. We have gotten alot of rain lately so the greens were slow.

Some of the golfers were not fixing their ball marks on the green which overtime will hurt the greens.

I will play this course again in the next couple of weeks.
