Knightswood Golf Club

Walking to the first tee I was lulled into a false sense of security and optimism. What with the sunshine and the trees providing shelter from the wind, what could be better than this? Turning left to approach the tee box I was now off path, the new studs in the golf shoes proved their worth but I nearly went on my bottom a few times before placing my ball on the tee.

Enough to get the ball (a new Calloway) clean away but it ended up plugged, to the point of me walking past it before looking backwards in disbelief at not being unable to find it. The shiny white head just above the blackness of the earth revealed itself to me. I should have realised there and then it was going to be a long day!

I managed a couple of Pars in an otherwise uninspiring round but my claim to fame, despite plugging regularly and being caught up in bramble bushes once, was that I never lost my ball.

The course is a good we tester at anytime but the underfoot conditions were really quite poor and increased the difficulty. But don’t let that put you off. It’s value for money now and on a good day, great value!

But get out there while you can, before the city fathers are compelled to sell off the course to land speculators.

Just Saying But that is not the only story!

Although it was a bit wet and got worse so only played five holes

The fairways could do with having the leaves raked up as on a couple of occasions I had to move leaves about to get my ball

The weather was really bad only managed one hole but staff excellent and did a another booking with no charge

Good course for the beginner or getting back into golf

No rush fairly quiet day

Weather not good that day but course was still playable

Greens could do with a bit of an upgrade other than that all good

Too many people jumping over the fence and playing for free. Watched a man climb over the fence while we were on 4th green. He jumped onto the 5th tee hit 3 balls and held us up pure ignorance.

I’ve played Knightswood many times and in general it’s a nice wee course not much in terms of danger but a good place to have a practice. Pace of play is good it’s well kept for a council course.

As a 9 hole it’s great. Few interesting holes but nothing taxing. Very relaxed.

Glasgow life saying these greens are fit for purpose. They must be worst greens in Scotland. Dalmuir golf course ran by West Dunbartonshire council show what can be achieved at a public course.

The course is a mud bath your ball gets buried in the mud when you take a shot. The course is contastly water logged the drainage is terrible and the layout is not very good. Plus dogs and children steal the balls h and they're divits and holes everywhere, rubbish and obstacles on the fairway and grass not lifted stops your ball dead if you can find it. Needs a major revamp.

Course was in excellent condition and represents value for money. Took nearly 4 hours due to the time of the day and the large number of 3 and 4 balls ahead of me. If you are looking to get back in the game or are looking for a quick 9 holes this course is highly recommended.

Thought i would try this course as i had some spare time in the morning and could fit a 9 Holer in. Wish i hadn't bothered, Horrific course.

Horribly maintained, greens are just substandard fairways with two foot pins in the middle. Random humps and bumps on the fairways for no reason. Poorly laid out course with no real thought it its design. Clubhouse looked like a a deserted youth center. Can't believe there are members in this course it's absolutely shocking.

Only positive is the friendly staff member who was in site, very polite and pleasant. Hope he gets a move to a better course soon as
