Knollwood Golf Course

The fairways are full of unattended divotsmand also the greens. I wonder if the marshalls could help cover these whilebthey go around practically not doing anything. A beautiful course going to waste due to its lack of maintenance.

This is an awesome place to play and I look forward to going back. The staff was super friendly even though there was an issue with the tee time. The pro shop staff was overly friendly giving us awesome customer service. We saw the marshal drive by 4 times checking on pace of play, and we finished our round at the perfect pace. The grass is short, so the ball rolls and many elevated tee boxes giving way to bombed drives. A few birdie opportunity holes with challenging par 3's. Even the Hot Dog at the turn was a great price and super tasty. I'm in love with this hidden gem tucked away among homes and thick old trees. Knollwood is by far the best value for the money and a course that has its defenses in full effect waiting for you to have a miss hit. Lots of birds, deer, squirrels, and rabbits giving the course the feel of a nature walk with golf clubs. Hole 9 your hitting to a super elevated green and if you miss right it will take you two shots to get back up the hill making for awesome risk reward. This course can easily be walked even in the hot heat, but I had a cart which I recommend. I even got lucky and played with a guy from the mens club and he was greatest guy I had randomly played with in forever. I'm going to join the mens club because of it. He said they play one Sunday a month and I will be coming back way more than that now.

I've been golfing for a very short time (3 months) at the urging of my friends to join them on the weekends. 8-18-13 was the second time playing Knollwood, with the previous weekend being the first time. Mind you, I haven't played very many courses so don't have a lot to compare it to. Most of my time has been spent at Van Nuys or Woodley, which aren't all that great comparatively.

I like the course set up here. The hills and angles on fairways making it quite challenging for a player like myself. Bunkers are a little crusty which makes for some odd shots. Biggest complaint is the state of the greens. So inconsistent from hole to hole and it's clear that very few patrons fix their divots. The greens are extremely dry and in rough shape. Other wise, this place is pretty cool and I'd definitely consider going again.

Golf Now prices make it worthwhile as it's a huge discount.

This course is just great! It's a good challenge for any mid-high handicapper. The staff was fantastic and friendly (not the Marshall, though - just kidding!
Our round went along at a normal weekend pace for So. California. I'm really surprised to read reviews complaining about pace of play - it's the norm around here. It's the Marshall's job to make sure play is moving along and they do a really great job at it. No complaints here.
If you keep it straight, you can score low, but that's the story about anywhere.
I'd love to come back and play here again sometime soon. I'm sure I'll do better here next time since this was only my second time playing here. Will be a bit more confident and be able to trust my game a bit more.
Come here with a good short game and you'll make up for any mistakes off the tee as long as you keep your ball in play.

Drove our first ball in the dark with glowing golfballs. The novelty wore off right away because we had a difficult time even hitting the ball. Once the sun rose we were comfortable and had a great time and great game at Knollwood. The only complaint I have is that the sprinklers were on and we were drenched at both the first and second tees. Kinda hard to have a good time when you are soaking wet and there was no way to get around the spriklers. We will return but later in the day for sure.

I live down the street from this course and I really do live it but it takes way too long to play. 6hrs for a round is just ridiculous. They also let people who can't play there and play from the blues. The management is awful and they are just taking people's money and throwing out as many players as possible. Very dissappointed

The course was not boring and requires attention indeed.

Knollwood has always been one of my favorite courses. It was in great shape and pace was excellent. Greens were very challenging. Will be back next week.

When you tee off at 1:00 pm in the afternoon, you'd expect to finish. We were on pace for a 6-7 hour round. This is simply poor management. We saw marshals and they basically drove through and did not manage the pace of play. The personnel are not friendly. Needless to say, my buddy and I quit after nine holes and we were simply not pleased. We will never play this course ever again!!!

The pace of play at this course is terribly slow. I played it several times over the last 20 years and each time swear that I am never coming back.

Perfect weather, and conditions at the course this Memorial Day. I've played the course over the past 4 years, about 6 times, and the last 2-years I've kept away because of the constant overbooking and pace of play.

Note to management - you could raise the green fees by 15% if you kept the pace of play and booking to accommodate a nice afternoon.

I'll play here again, however, almost never on the weekend again.

fivesome walking in front of us led to a long round. Small greens and a lot of trees add to the challenge. A pretty hilly course. Had to use a lot of different shots.

Nicely maintained, fairly priced golf course in a super LA location. The bad news which would prevent me from going back: we teed off 48 minutes after our tee time and then it took 5 hours to play. Mind you this early in the am. This is abusive to customers. They seem to let and encourage high handicappers tee off from the back tees, it would help to negate that by allowing only less than 10 handicappers do so. Otherwise, no marshalls interested in speeding up play and they just kept stacking people up on the first tee.

8:20 tee time...off at 9:00....Finished at 2:45....end of review.

820 tee time...off at 9. Finished at 2:45. What else do you need to know?

It took us nearly 3 hours to play 7 holes. We walked off on the 8th as we didn't fancy a 6 hour game of golf. Totally overbooked. Got a voucher for come back and play the course again, but not sure if we want to go through that again!

This county run facility that in it's glory days was a private country club is now floundering with a "let's just keep it playable" approach to maintaining everything. The poor guy behind the counter was doing his best to maintain a good attitude as he had no help in the pro shop. The carts were dated, but did run...barely. The greens were slow. Fairways, and tee boxes were average, and the practice range a joke. I'm not a fan of hitting off mats to warm up, but that's all they had, and I understand that, but they were really old and worn out. The city run facilities in L.A. are superior to the this county run facility. On the plus side, they have done work by adding new cart paths. This was my first experience at this property.

Staff was pleasant and the greens were surprisingly good. Bunkers were awful and the fairways hard as expected. We got a great price and played with some very pleasant locals. All in all a good experience, just don't expect too much.

Very good course for the money. Easy to access in a good location

Pace of play was slow, likely due to the difficult greens. The greens had a lot of break to them, but the course overall looked nice and as long as you could stay out of the trees the fairways were pretty wide. A few traps were deceptively placed in areas hard to view due to shadows, but otherwise one of the nicer LA County courses.
