Green Knoll Golf Course

Layout is pretty cool and the course is in solid shape. Starter seems to have an issue with everyone for whatever reason. Also no food besides a vending machine. Enjoyed the golf though

Was a great course, very open but a bit challenging for newer golfers.

We had a great day out at the course. We were on pace for <2 hour 9 hole front and back. The ranger came around not once but twice and "warned us" we need to move faster....we had 2 twosomes in front of us, so they notably went faster....and the group behind never got close to us we were at least 1-2 holes ahead of the 4 -some. As my wife who was with us that day, it was an amazing Mothers day, except for the Ranger.

First time playing Green Knoll and will definitely be back. Course was in good condition, particularly for late March. 3.5 hour round so the pace of play was great.

I know it's the beginning of the season and it is a county course, but these courses should roll the greens at least once during or at the beginning of the season so that we golfers can get a true roll when putting.

This course is in great shape for the beginning of the season!

Great course very open off the thee followed by some nice rolling hill contours and well protected pins.

17 is a tough par 4

Green Knoll is one of the handful of somerset county courses that I enjoy playing over and over. For fall golf they had solid conditions making the value even better.

This was the 1st, I played Green Knoll in about 25 yrs. The course was in great shape. Pace of play was excellent no waiting after the first 2 holes.

The value on Golf Now was very good, being a Golf Pass member also gave me a better rate $39.50. Exceptional.

Definitely worth playing.

Due to one of our foursome moving an hour north, we have decided to accommodate him by playing on more centrally located courses. This spurred us to take a run at the eastern Somerset county courses. We have already played (and reviewed) Warren Brook, Quail Brook, and Spooky Brook. All are recommended as great venues for a quality round. Green Knoll is no exception. An interesting hillside course (not as severe as Warren Brook) in great shape and a pleasure to play. (The greens showed signs of recent aeration but rolled very true. Although they are not as fast as Quail Brook). The first thing we found out upon arriving, was that we were starting on the tenth hole and playing the back nine first then finishing on the front. Normally I find this disconcerting. Interested in golf course design , I always assume that the routing of a course is intentional and that the architect was purposeful with his set up. However, at Green Knoll (I feel) this makes perfect sense. So much so they should consider re-numbering the holes and make this permanent. The back nine starts off relatively benign and does start to get more challenging as you progress With a few interesting holes. Blind tee shot up and over a hilly fairway, a par three with an elevated Tee-box, a long flat par four with the second (or third) shot over a natural area to an elevated green. The course does get more difficult as you proceed and this trend does continue into the front nine (when played as the back) culminating with two great finishing holes. The penultimate (which, in my opinion, should always be the hardest/most interesting on the course) a forced carry over a waste area/creek. The creek then bends around and separates the fairway from the green which puts playing the proper distances at a premium. The last is a longish uphill par four to a well protected green. If the length of this review (my longest by far) is any indication, you get the idea that Green Knoll is a great place for a fun and challenging round of golf. I do look forward to another trip back in the near future.

Went out yesterday and nowhere did they display an aeration alert on golf now like other courses do , would’ve went elsewhere if I knew. Okay course decent shape overall … tee boxes weren’t cut / or were lopsided.
