Knollwood Golf Course

When we went there, the starter said it will be 30-40 minutes delay. There were many 5 sum groups. We had to cancel and came home.

Played at 6:15am. 3rd group off the tee box. Stuck behind really slow players. Had to wait every shot. Tee boxes were less than satisfactory and greens were in the worst condition that I've seen in a long time. Fairways weren't much better. Standing water everywhere.

Won't play here again until these issues are addressed.

Play in a threesome their cart die on the 3rd, my then died on the 5th. Still enjoyed the course.

The staff is great there, clubhouse has good food and very homey feeling.
The downfall is the play time.
Having 5somes out there slows the play up right off the bat. 3rd hole is 3-4 group back up in peak play and 1 -2 wait on average day. Its a short down hill Par 4 protected with front bunker and trouble if not hit accurately. smart play is layup and get up and down. the good thing is that hold up is in between 2 par 5's that are reachable if you hit the ball a long way. str8 forward par 5's.
greens are fairly easy once you get the speed down. the reads are not that tough or stressfull.
If you are lucky and happen to catch a nice pace round at this course , then you would love it. has all the shots required of you, and lots of trees and shade.
If they switched how they run 5's there, the course would generate a nice constant flow of players from a little further out. instead of the same regulars all the time, that walk around like they own the course and throw proper edicate out the window, along with the rake for the bunkers and loud chatter when you are about to hit after waiting for the group in front of you quitly.
That's just to share my experience 2 out of the 3 total I have played there within past year and a half...
Maybe run groups with 5's between hourse that the course feels wouldn't hurt the flow..
Hope this review helps.

I like this course for the most part, but the pace of play is slow. They allow 5 somes out, but do not requie them to have carts. A lot of the players play from the tips when they should be playing from the whites, and study their puts like they are on the PGA tour.

i am 58 years old and have been playing knollwood over the years since i was 16 years old, in the 1970's. it is in the BEST shape i've ever seen it in, a real joy to play! i always loved the layout but it was never kept up and had too much hardpan. now it finally looks like it should, and looks like a championship golf course, plays longer than its yardage.
