Beautiful Course

Knob Hill is a beautiful course with a challenging layout. There are numerous holes where trees are guarding the right hand side and as a result, players that hit draws can find the course difficult off the blue tees. Despite being aerated 3 weeks ago, the greens recovered nicely. Cart girl drove by at least 4x during our round and was friendly. Best of all, our 4-some completed our round in 3.5 hours through unimpeded play... hard to beat. Definitely will be back although a bit of a drive from the city.

Gorgeous

Knob Hill has been on my bucket list for some time now, and boy was I not disappointed. Immaculate grounds on and off the course, very friendly staff and was treated as if I entered a 5 star hotel. Gps on carts were a little frustrating bc of one hole but seemed to be a good idea to preserve the course. Def would go back and recommend to any skill set.

Highly recommend this challenging and fun golf course especially play from blue Tee. Great value for nice course. Hole #7 and #8 with water in play, play conservative to avoid big number. Bogus is not too bad. Stuffs are very friendly and helpful.

Good but slow play will be its demise

I looked forward to Knob Hill as it is a semi-private club. I expected the course conditions to be spot on but also a higher level of golf etiquette. First, the course is a par 70 and is a fun round of golf. The layout is unique and a different type of experience than the local munis in the Princeton area, which I live around.

I wanted to like my experience a lot... but the pace of play was horrible. People simply are not playing ready golf and are taking too long between shots and on the green. The worse part was that there weren't many rangers at all around to monitor pace of play. The last 2 reviews also spoke of the very slow pace of play. I wanted to give it a shot and now regretted it. I probably will not come back for awhile. Especially with the long summer days/nights, most people who come out will be hackers.

I don't know if members of the club experience the same level of slow play. I doubt it. But as a public player, I would highly recommend that you do not play here until this is rectified. As a FYI - I played this course to see if it would be worth joining as a member. Sadly it is not.

We would like to thank you for playing Knob Hill, we strive to provide the best experience for all players, both members and guests. We are very sorry you did not have an enjoyable one.

Last Fall we equipped all golf carts with GPS Monitoring devices which allows us to manage every single golf cart for location, infractions of rules, and pace of play from a central computer located in pro shop.

These devices are cutting edge technology and usually deliver a pace of around 4 hours and 30 minutes or better.

There could have been a unusual circumstance during your round and I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss it further with you to ensure future experiences at Knob Hill are enjoyable.

Please email me directly at louk@knobhillgc.com.

We appreciate and respect your review, look forward to talking with you.

Fun Layout

Not too long (I like this) with some fun holes

Favorites were #7, short par 5, with water off the tee and again in front of the green. #8, par 4, dogleg right with a pond fronting the green. Why do courses aerate during the winter? Grass doesn't grow and it remains like that much longer. Probably won't recover till mid-May. The greens were also covered with pebbles from the sanding. Hit and hope!

Can do much better for the $

OK course. Nothing really special about the layout. Play it a couple of times and you figure out the tricky stuff and score. No length at all.

Very well kept for the most part. Food and amenities are average. Much too expensive for what you get, but it's not bad.

There are many better public layouts in central Jersey that are as good or better. Heron Glen is the public course for golfers to play. Can be played to a 73 and 140 or much less difficulty and totally public for half the price. If you're just a golfer, don't spend the money. If you get to play it on someone else's dime, by all means make the drive. It's really pretty there.

I'm not slamming this place. It's just that you can do much better for your $ in central Jersey.

Mid November, great weather, for golf !

Interesting course. While playing from the is short ( 5800 yards) and you think it's easy the course has enough hazards to blow up on your score. Especially on the water holes where it is a good idea to layup. Service is also top notch !
