Great Parkland Course

I have played Knock quite a few times over the years and it never fails to deliver a challenging round of golf. The course was in great condition and the greens were quick. There are plenty of mature trees and a few longer par fours that makes the course challenging. The staff are friendly and there are benches/tables outside the bar at the 17th tee box for a snack and a pint. A brilliant parkland course close to the Belfast City.

Nice course, friendly people

Very nice colleague, very friendly personal in bar and restaurant. We met lady president, who was very nice. Course is very nice, greens could be little better but this is small remark only to say something. All the rest perfect. We will go back for sure. PS Food very good and cheap

Good location, tight little course

Just 10 mins from city center.

Mature treelines course, but very tight... Probably the most shouts of Fire I've even heard on a golf course.

Golf now app

Strongly considering deleting this app. Charged for 18 holes and only 16 were playable. This info should be on the app before booking. I know we were playing in February and don't expect things to be perfect, but I do expect all relevant information to be available before deciding to play a course. Staff at the course were very apologetic and told me to ring up for another round when the course is at its best and he'll only charge us 20 quid instead of the 31 that golf now charged.
