Knoll West Country Club

Great design with tees for every golfer, greens are large and undulating bunkers are great and greens are surrounded and protected by them.

In all the years ive been playing this track i have never seen in better condition!!!!

This was my second time playing here, and it was amazing. Then irrigation work is done, and it looks like they took out some trees.

The green complexes are spectacular, and the course is outstanding. Great conditions, and it provides a nice challenge.

If I were to rank this course in the top public in New Jersey (yes it’s semi private), it has to be in the top 5 with Heron Glen just ahead of it.

Play here, it’s worth the extra money.

Played on Monday morning and seems to have the course to ourselves for most of the round. Nice layout and the course was in good condition.

Par 70 is deceptive because the greens have a lot of undulations and are difficult, but fair.

Excellent course. Played in 4 hours. Greens are very tricky. Overall great track.

Cold and no one in the course. For the time of year, could not ask anything more. Course was in great condition being the monsoon storm recently.

During the week as well as light drizzle throughout the round, but the course was still in great shape. Drains really well. Very Nice course!

Nicely designed course with relatively wide fairways lined with trees and QUICK greens. Lots of bunkers all over, with a good deal of them serving more as visual obstacles sitting anywhere from 100-200 yards from the tee. Bunkers around some of the greens were DEEP! But the sand is thin/light and can easily be cut through to get the ball up and out. That being said, we had a few bunker shots sail on us just because you can really make good contact out of the green-side bunkers. Given the speed of the greens, you really need to make sure you are landing in the right section to have a shot at the hole. Downhill putts just keep going, and many of the greens feature bumps (or "knolls", hence the name!) typical of older designed courses. Course was in great shape and we were able to get our round in with a 12:27PM tee time on a Monday (and a 4:45PM sunset). Also, the par 3 13th hole was unlike anything I've seen before. Really interesting design!

Played at 1:30pm on a Tuesday. Pace of play was excellent. Played as 2 singles and a twosome. All worked to keep the pace moving. Finished in 3:50. The course is extremely well maintained. Not many exposed divots in the fairways. Fressh pitch marks, but no scars on the greens. Greens were fast, true and fair.

The layout is wonderful and easy to walk.

Highly recommend this course and will play again.

Out of the gate - Knoll West is not Knoll East. Two entirely different courses: Knoll West is quasi semi-private and is a championship caliber course. Just skip East altogether.

Par 70 at almost 6900 yards from the back tees, this is a big boy course with an interesting layout, some seriously tricky contoured greens on some holes and a 250 yard par 3 when maxed out.

It's a Charles Banks architected course, who also did:

Essex County CC, Forsgate, Francis Byrne, Rock Spring, Hackensack GC, Yale GC among others. His signature style is apparent at Knoll West as well.

Really nice track, they are putting money into the course and when the greens are fast and conditions are dry this is one hard, fun course.

Play it.
