gem in the valley

Played today and the heat kept a lot of people home. Course is in very good shape. The staff upon check in were friendly. One of my favorite courses, especially when it's only a 4 hour round.

Very nice course!

I always enjoy golfing here. It is a fun and challenging course, in a beautiful setting with lots of birds and other wildlife. Many of the fairways are narrow, and the greens can be pretty tricky!

A great course when not too busy.

I really like Knollwood even when it plays quickly.
The layout is fun after you play a few rounds.

Good course, but overpriced

The courses conditions were ok but you would like to think that for $50 it would be better. The tee boxes were uneven and there were a lot of divots not repaired. Overall the course was in pretty good shape but there could be more attention to detail or lower the price so that the expectation is not there.

7 HOUR ROUND?

Had a 11:40am tee time and they didn't get us started until 12:10pm. They were low on carts because they play 5 people in a group instead of 4, so you have groups playing with 3 carts. We finished the first 9 holes in 3 hours and 15 minutes!!!
Then we quit! The course manager needs to change some things. Allow only foursomes and make sure your staff gets people to tee off on-time!!! When you play 5 people in a group, you are doing a disservice to the game and it is no longer GOLF. It's a stand around social event!

Sir,

We are sorry to hear about your experience. I would ask you to send me your home address to agm@knollwoodgc.com so I can send you a certificate for a free round at Knollwood.

A few notes about your comments. Regarding 5-somes, we are a county facility, and each county golf course is required to permit 5-somes, so we cannot control that aspect. As for the shortage of carts, we had a cart-barn fire a month ago, and lost most of our fleet and are currently working with a smaller fleet. Clearly, you caught us on one of our busiest days of the year, and we ran into a shortage, for which we apologize. We look forward to sending you a certificate and providing a better experience next time you visit us. Sorry again, I will keep an eye out for your email with your home address.

Sincerely,
Knollwood Management Team

Challenging and great value for money

Challenging course with narrow fairways, lots of elevation changes, tons of bunkers around the greens, and fast sloping greens. Great value, weekend rates at $25 w/cart after 3. Pace of play allowed us to play 18 holes in 4.25 hrs. Foreman is very nice guy. Other staff are hit or miss with the starter we encountered being exceptionally unprofessional. Courses of similar price in valley are not nearly as nice as knollwood (woodley lakes, encino, etc). Will definitely be back.

Course was in great shape challenging place to play but beatable!

The course and facility was in great shape and the staff that I talked to seemed helpful in every way. Overall I thought the course was in great shape and well taken care of. Play was alittle slow cause of some 5 somes but it's weekend golf! Overall I would suggest to play there anytime!!!

Nice Track, but slow

This is a really nice SF valley course, and near my house so I play it occasionally. I have always liked the layout, and its usually in decent condition. Like most Munis in LA, good greens till late in the summer, moderate to below average fairway conditions. The one big drawback of this track is the slow pace of play. Lots of groups of retirees from the Far East play there often and are lovely people, but very slow players. Groups of five are allowed to go out as well. This adds up to a moderate golfing experience, just be prepared for an all day event. That is the big drawback at Knollwood.

Beautiful Greens

This was my first time at Knollwod and I will play it again....but only on a weekday. The staff was courteous and efficient informing my group of the delays while on the course. But, the pace of play was a little longer than I care for on a weekend. Allowing groups of 5s definitely held everyone up.

The green were as nice as I've ever seen. Quick and very true. I'd try Knollwood again.....but only on a week day!

Not so quick 9

Favoritism rules this course, letting people walk on before you despite having the earlier tee time. Played early morning, 7am, and sat in anticipation as two groups of three were let in before our group. A couple of them walked right from the parking lot that separates the front and back nines, made pleasantries with the starter and THEN went to the pro shop to check in, etc.

Simple enough course, over watered greens and under tended fairways, sand traps, etc.

We are extremely sorry to hear about your experience. You can be assured we communicate to each marshall and starter that favortism is not allowed, and we always honor people with tee times. We do have a waiting list sign up sheet, and put those people out whenever we see an opportunity, while trying to make sure it does not affect those with tee times. We will continue to make sure that experiences like yours are not a part of Knollwood, and would ask that if this ever happens to you again, that you ask to speak with management while you are at the course, and we will be able to reconcile the issue for you. Please stop by the pro shop next time you get a chance, or send us your home adress so we can set you up for a round "on us". We are sorry once again, and hope to see you for a round again soon.

Very challenging and small greens; not a long course but still one of the harder courses I play. Pace of play was extremely slow because they put a fivesome in front of us, but other than that it's a great place for a round.
