Knollwood Golf Course

A very nice day at a very nice course! The bunkers are in good shape as I seemed to visit them often! Good and a little tough!

Has the 8:12 GN for 4 - miserable weather - on and off hard rain...was given the option to call it quits, which I appreciated...we went out there and the course was in great shape, considering the drought...greens excellent! A few bare spots in the fairway but all white chalk outlined for a drop...bar cart girl super cute and bubbly and took credit cards...we avoid the coffee shop as it is overpriced and only average...nice proshop - good sale on shoes going on...covered range...overall 5 stars...

The course, staff are goid. Only problem is cramming in too many tee times, causing EXCESSIVE S L O W PLAY.

one of best courses i have been on each hole is challenging course is well maintain it was my first time i`ll be back next week jeff

Nice day, pace slowed down at the 7th hole... Did recover some at the turn

The lay out and adventurous course are fun! The hills and tree placements, the bunkers and the distances make this course very challenging. However, the surly staff and waitresses that don't want to be there are cause for concern. We came on a day that it had just rained. Got there an hour ealry to hit balls. Driving range was closed due to the rain? I'm from Seattle, if you closed your range for rain, you'd go out of business! Poor excuse. Price was ok. But it took us 5 1/2 hours to play. Way too many people on the course. I've never written a review before because I usually try and stay optimistic, that maybe they just had an off day. But it really was not a good time. Luckily our group kept it light and fun but overall not a good day. Will not go back. Good luck.

Have played afternoon but pace of play was around 6:30 mins.... we had to wait every hole. Not worth to play at this course. I have to leave after we play 9 hole due to slow pace. Called proshop see if we can play quicker but they said it is what it is... nothing they cannot do. Will never play this course again in my life!

I played with one other friend, teeing off around noon on this day. This was my second time on this course and an email special brought me in. $46.95 for 18 holes, cart included, lunch included, one drink included. Great deal.

We get sent off as a two-some, behind a five-some. The five-some ended up being the least of our problems because the entire course was at a crawl. It took 1 hour to play 2 holes. The third tee-box was backed up, 3 groups deep. The threesome behind us called it quits right then and there and my friend and I called the pro-shop and asked for the Marshal to be sent out. It took another hour to play 2 more holes....at which point we again called the pro-shop asking...practically begging...to get someone on this pace of play issue.

Things did not improve. As we continued to play awful golf (can't stay loose with 20 minutes between shots) we eventually ran into the marshal. We asked him if there was any hope of things freeing up ahead. He replied "Nope". We asked if he had spoken with any groups...."Nope". We asked if there was any solution to this and he said "Don't play here on the weekends". So not only was he not helpful in the least, his solution was to not return.

We made the turn, hoping against all odds that it may open up. Nope, 3 groups waiting on #10. We finished the 13th hole when we decided that we just could not take it anymore....it had been 5 hours. Let me repeat that....it took us 5 hours to play 13 holes. As we drove back in, passing groups behind us, we passed a group of 6 playing together.

I went into the Pro-shop and had a discussion with the gentleman behind the counter. He provided a little more color....for example there had been a tournament earlier in the day where everyone took an hour lunch against the advice of the staff.....but he also told me that he would advise that we not play at this course unless we wanted to go out very early on the weekdays, but certainly never to play there on the weekends. "I work here and I would never play here" he said.

He informed me that the company that owns this golf course (the name escapes me) forces them to book five-somes and sometimes only spaces out the online tee-times by TWO MINUTES. This tells me that this course is being used solely as a money-grab and does not care about player experience. The Pro-shop gave me a 9-hole credit for my trouble.

So...the good thing about this was the deal. Lunch, a beer, and 18 holes for under $50 sounds great...and would be in most scenarios, however the lack of respect for golfers and the outrageous pace of play far outweighs this deal and made this, by far, the worst golf experience that I have ever had.

I will be taking the advice of the course Marshal as well as the advice of their pro-shop staff....two employees of this golf course....and will not be returning. I also urge all golfers who care about pace of play and about having an enjoyable golf experience, to do the same. There are several other golf courses in the area that do not have this problem and treat their players with better respect.

I'm a crack of dawn golfer. I love being 1st or 2nd off.

knollwood fits right in.

They will give you a tee time an hour before light if you want. in fact they will lend you a light up ball.

its kind of fun playing the first hole or two like a video game.

On a whole this is a fun, mature coarse. a lot of elevation change, right and left dog legs.

the greens are in great shape.

last minute golf made it easy to get a tee time the afternoon before. (late afternoon)

Played yesterday ... Sunday at 8:20. Teed off approx 8:40. Finished 1:30 pm. Round was super slow. We were put behind a 5 some. A lot of weekend golfers here hav no idea how to play ready golf and will all watch each other hit before going to their balls. They take practice swings and survey putts like they are Jordan Spieth. The marshals really need to be more attentive to this and tee times need to be more spread out. Very frustrating.

Knollwood is a great values for the money. The staff is friendly and the course is in good condition.

The only issue I have is they run a lot of five somes so pace of play can be slow even during the week. Expect a 4.5-5 Hour Round. Not good if u r in a hurry, but who should b in a hurry.

The course was above average. Had to play conservative because of narrowness of course. The hills however made a poor shot into a playable one, as it brought my ball down, sometimes down the fairway. I don't know what was happening on the 10th fairway but they should have warned us that construction was going on. Otherwise the course was good. Start at 3:05 and finished before 7:15.

Course is in really nice shape.

Course played fair and greens were in pretty good condition

Played twilight on 6/21 & 6/22 at $19.94 (after 4 PM) and $24.95 (after 3PM). I did play this course several years back so didn't really have a good memory of the course from the first play.

Checkin process was painless. Walk up single - got paired up with some good locals to make the game fun.

The course: The opening hole is an eye opener at #1 handicap. But, the rest of the course is pretty tame with reachable par 5s and couple of short par 3s. The course was shaped like a resort course with sides all draining back to the fairway. The course featured mild elevation change just to keep thing interesting enough. The greens were in good condition considering the public traffic - better than most. There are no water hazards so bombs on away.

The pace: AWFUL! on the first day, we got stuck behind the local men's club. They played poorly and took forever to play. Typical - park the cart 30 yards away from the ball, walk up to the ball to assess, go back and get a club, dribble the shot, walk back to the cart. All while the buddy sits and watches and repeat as he then plays his shot. Good thing they only played 9 holes. Back nine opened up and went in 1 hr 45 min. Yesterday was worse. Started at 3:30 PM and didn't finish until 8:45 PM.

Overall, I was hoping for a faster round since it was a mid week twilight. But, I was mentally prepared for a slow round so I wasn't bothered as much. I enjoyed the course layout tremendously. The course condition was in above average shape (green fairways, mild undulating greens, good bunker sand).

btw, if you lose a club, don't expect to see it ever. Typical of public course I suppose

Good to very good for the money

The overall rating should be better but the amount of time to play it makes it impossible to give a better rating. This is the closest course to my house but I can't play it because it's ALWAYS a 5 1/2 - 6 hour round. They just simply allow too many players on the course. It's not the players that are the problem. It's management greed wanting to squeeze every dime they can get but it makes it so most people quit after the front 9 takes 3 hours to play. It makes NO difference what day, what time or what circumstances it should never take more than 4 - 4 1/2 hours for a round especially in Los Angeles where it never rains!

Played the Blues (6385/70.8/124) in slightly less than 4H as a 2some with RGM2525 on a GN "Hot Deal" for less than $14 w cart. The weather was around 70, fairly calm and very overcast. We played through one 2some and only started waiting the last few holes on a surprisingly fast paced Monday afternoon round.

My 1st time here in almost 8 years. They have cut down some trees and either added or removed some fairway traps since I last played here. Completely changes the way #10 plays w/o a thick forest just left of the narrow fairway.

Overall, the course was in decent condition, very playable.

The tees were a mixed bag. A few were good to very good, a few were poor, most were mediocre. The Kikuyu was mowed close and it looked like the tee markers had been regularly rotated.

The Kikuyu fairways were average. More thin than lush with decent coverage.

The Kikuyu rough was not tall and generally had good coverage close to the fairway. The farther you got from the fairway, it was 50/50 whether you were going to be on hardpan or Kikuyu.

The sand traps could have been decent "but for" the golfers who frequent Knollwood thinking that the rakes beside the traps are mere ornaments. The sand was decent, just WAY too many footprints unraked in these traps.

The greens were the hi-light of the course, VERY good. Soft, they held approach shots very well. They putted medium speed and were pretty smooth.

Not a bad layout, tighter than most, it has many fun holes. However, the combination of American Golf & their 5somes plus many other better layouts closer to my home make me an infrequent visitor to Knollwood. Recommended if you can get a deal.

Having played several times before I pretty much know the course . The course was in good condition and the greens were excellent. Fairways were typical, and the pace of play was also typical for Knollwood, a little slow, this is to be expected at this course. Overall it was a good day on the course.

Nice course layout. Fairways are lined with trees by roomy enough for a good tee shot. Very good par fives on this 6300 yard course from blue tees. Not much water but traps placed in key locations. Dog legs very nice. A few par 4's are short enough to have a short wedge in. A few par 4's are monsters like #1. Greens in good condition but not fast. Stump around 8. Overall I enjoyed this course. Afterwards I enjoyed there club house bar a diner style restaurant. Not fancy and the price is right.
