Knollwood Golf Course

We live an hour away but was looking to play a new course to us. Since my gf is from the valley we decided to try this course out. First off a we figured out the negative reviews of this place are just from snooty people. We loved how challenging this course was with upper and lower elevations. Greens were very fast on some holes. We will be back to play this course earlier.

The fairways are pretty much all dirt. They need to get them in shape it’s really bad. The greens were in good shape and the pace of play was good too. I wouldn’t come back though unless they improve the fairways.

The guy at the front couldn’t be bothered to put down his cell phone to answer my question but oh don’t really care. The course is my biggest complaint. They sent 3 groups out at one tee time so the course was extremely backed up. The group in front of us had never played golf before and there was no course marshal to move them along. Then there’s the course conditions. You were lucky to hit it into grass in the fairway. The fairways and comprised of dirt and roots , that’s it ! You hit a perfect shot and end up with a terrible lie. DO NOT PLAY HERE. NOT WORTH THE MONEY

Yesterday’s staff was friendly but lately the staff attitude has been very unfriendly. They think they are doing us a favor that are allowing us to play. I have been playing this course for a long time. The course condition has also gone worse but due to water shortage. The cart fee has gone up and no discount for seniors.

This used to be a very fun course. It was challenging yet not overbearing. What happened?

Course conditions are terrible. You can be in the middle of the fairway and you are sure to find nothing but brown patches, dead grass, dirt, anything other than living fairway grass. Wow.

Many of the tea boxes had crabgrass. The only two bunkers I was in all day rock hard.

Greens were in good shape. Clearly they are still watering those.

My advice to people playing here would be bomb away. It doesn’t matter if you are in the fairway or off the fairway, because there is no grass either way. So take as much yardage off of the tea as you can get.

Well,

For some reason I had high hopes. I was let down. The course is a bit burned out. Fairways are just ok and are inconsistent, and rough is non existent in some areas and then there are spots where you won’t find your ball. Tees were shaggy and not maintained. Greens were decent. Some of the hole design on the back nine are a bit old school and odd. I think it’s 13 or 14 with this crazy hook shot off the tee with a mid or long iron, only to leave you with a long iron in. Couple of cool holes as well. But all in all. For the price, for me, in my opinion, I will play elsewhere.

Course offers a good amount of variety across the 18, only missing 1 or 2 longer par 3's. Used most all of my clubs from the Blue tees. Bunkers are either dust on rock solid dirt or sandy and hard, but I don't much from a county course. Tee boxes are okay, and greens were mostly good (aside from people not fixing their divots), but the fairways were pretty burned out. Sometimes, just off the fairway gave you a better lie than down the middle. No marshall during the week, basic functioning carts, nice putting green, driving range closed on Thursdays. Service was great; would play again on late afternoon/weekday rates, and overall had a great time
