Knollwood Golf Course

Played this course for the first time - didn’t even know it was nearby. Tees and green complexes were in really good shape. Bunkers in nice shape, fairways are overall in good shape. Can’t find much to complain about except for the pace. For a 6400 yard course the pace was surprisingly slow. But nonetheless, I’ll be returning as this is a good place to practice accuracy and control. Greens are small, roll nicely and they hold shots. Don’t need to hit bombs all day and if you play the course how it was designed it’s really fun.

Course was on great shape.

Shouldn't take 5 hrs to play though

Range balls are $14 for 70 balls!!! And they’re the extra soft-extra limited flight ones. That price is unconscionable. On terrible mats.

Then, it LOOKED like the course is GREEN - but if you looked carefully, the fringe around the practice putting green is PAINTED GREEN. Then when you look down the first fairway, it LOOKS nice - but once you get out there - it’s actually PAINTED. It barely has any grass. Then you get to the 2nd Hole - and you see how torn up, dry, patchy and horrible the rest of the fairways are.

They’re maintaining greens - like all these LA country courses - but why aren’t they watering the fairways and maintaining them??? It’s absolutely trashed, ripped to shreds, patches of dirt everywhere.

Tee boxes are all mostly not flat, they’re all lumpy and full of humps. Terrible.

It took 3 hours to play the front 9, and 2.5 hours to play the back.

Until some reviews tell us that the course is lush again, I will not play here. It’s the worst I’ve seen it. Doesn’t matter if the greens seem ok, it’s only like that because it’s winter and the cold weather helps to keep them firm.

Is this where public golf is? Is this what the golf industry claims it supports and promotes? It’s depressing. The game is becoming elitist and they’re ok with it. It’s a game for the rich, because the rich can afford to pay for the nice conditions and the rest of the people are being treated poorly, like this, and they don’t care. The days of “Play Golf America” when it needed people to play the game, is over, they no longer care what happens at the low income levels.
