Great parkland course

Only 13 holes open on day of play, which made the hot deal not as good as it should have been.

The remaining holes that were open, were in great condition for the amount of rain that has fallen.

Greens running well. Would highly recommend this course.

Down to 13

Arrived to find course was down to 13 holes paid for 18 online( think golfnow and the courses should be incontact with each other regarding hole closure so it better aids wether or not you choose to book and play). Was told tho as I had paid full price online I could revisit a few more holes once my 13 were complete..... however due to the very slow slow play I only had just enough time on the course for 13 at one point I was waiting near 10min on the tee box for a 4 ball in front of a 3 ball infront of me....

But will be back again to try the full 18 again at some point as it looks to be a great course....

A Very Nice Course

This was my first time playing at Knock. The course was in great condition given the weather conditions during the previous days.

It's the longest course I have played to date; and that was reflected on my scorecard!

All in all it was a great experience and I look forward to playing at Knock again as soon as possible.

Good Condition BUT slow

Course was in great Condition, greens weren't the quickest but where consistent. Bunkers in good shape nice sand. Fourball infront where horrendously slow. Group behind us said they have a reputation for being terribly slow. And they where.

great course

For the time if year and apart from a few temporary tee boxes and greens (which is only to be expected), the course was in excellent condition. It was also playing excellent with the greens kept brilliantly.

Can't knock this place

First time playing at Knock and I'd definitely return in future. I don't play that regularly so I found it quite challenging with the number of trees and tight fairways.
