Slowest 18 Holes I’ve Ever Played

My foursome just finished in about 5 hours and 45 minutes. The first 9 was slow in general but the back was slow because of one group. There was never a Marshall in sight.

Never coming back unless it’s an incredibly cheap afternoon round. I’d pay the extra $10-$15 to play at a course that is actually managed any day.

Great Course, but such a long day

I've played this course quite a few times. It's one of my favorites in the area, but pace of play continues to be just horrendous.We teed off about 10 minutes late and took us over two hours to complete 6 holes. My buddy had a work emergency, so that is when we ended up having to leave, but that's just ridiculous. They need to get Marshalls to start enforcing pace of play.

Chronic slow play problems

Unless you are looking to play a 6 hour round, STAY AWAY. If the city allowing fivesomes wasn't bad enough, there is zero marshallling to be seen. Golfers who cannot break 100 standing above shots for five minutes, taking 5 or 6 terrible practice swings, resulting in a 75 yard drive.....offline. I just told my wife to stop me if she ever hears me utter the words, "I'm going to play Knollwood."

Slow Play at Knollwood

While I love the course itself, the time it takes to play at Knollwood you could play two rounds at two different courses. It is unfortunate they allow 5 people to tee off at a time, and do not take that into account with tee times when booking.

We played 2 holes in one hour. TWO holes. Golf should not be played that slow. No matter what.

Nice surprise

Knollwood is a little gem tucked in Granada Hills. Tight fairwaiways with good elevation makes it a challenging track. The main issue is the layout was originally intended for private use so back ups occur when you reach the par 3’s now that it has a good amount of traffic being public. What should take 3 1/2 hours can last well over 5 on bad days. Nonetheless some of the best public golf the San Fernando Valley has to offer.

Awful pace

The course is designed very nicely, green is small and tough, however, weekend walkers and five some is killing the fun for the rest of us, it took me 5 & half hour to finish the round, hence it's my first and the last round here

Dissappointed again

Every once in a while I forget how I end up regretting playing at Knollwood and make another tee time there. It's either the lack of carts when you're ready to tee off, the glacial pace of service in the snack bar, some less-than-nice people on the course, etc. This time the starter moved our tee time and didn't properly cancel the original tee time I made on GolfNow.com. As a result Golf Now charged my credit for the full cost of all the green fees -- even though we paid and played there! Now I have to go through the trouble of finding a way to get my money refunded. I called the course and Kyle told me I have to wait for the General Manager (Wade) who it seems may or may not be able to work it out. And good luck getting a hold of GolfNow.com. I don't even see how to email them.

This place just ain't worth the aggravation.

It’s okay

Location of course is good. Condition is okay, fairways and tee boxes need a lot of work. $25 at 3pm not a bad price. Only serious issue is pace of play. Round took almost 5 hours.

Agonizingly slow pace of play

I like everything about Knollwood but the pace of play, which was unbearable this time. Multiple fivesomes were allowed out, including (very slow) walkers. Every single hole was backed up, with usually two groups waiting to tee off.

Fivesomes Ruin This Course

6-hour round due to fivesomes in nearly every group. Don't waste your time.
