Awesome Course...

Can't rave about this course enough. Course was in great shape for early Nov. It was a blast to play. The great thing about this course is you don't have to use the driver at ever hole. You need all clubs in your bag. Whats very helpful is this course has a drone fly over of the holes on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlg889ZBnz0

Very helpful especially for 1st time players... on the flyover, the only deceptive hole is 12. The green is very elevated and it's a large green, so go for it!!!!! Don't try to be cute with it...

Knob Hill

I play this course from time to time when the other courses in the area are too crowded. Conditions are usually pretty decent. Only issue seems to be after it rains and the course doesn't drain too well. The par 5 7th hole is always challenging. Water to the left of the fairway and the green is also surrounded by water. A little bit overpriced in season which makes this course a better play during twilight hours and in the slower season.

The cart girls are always nice and the bar has great food and drinks.

Terrible pace of play

A lot of older golfers playing at an extremely slow pace. Also an issue due to fact nobody wanted to let you play thru. Almost a 5 hour Wednesday morning round is crazy

Horribly Managed

This course used to be one of the best in central NJ. Just played it and they aerated in the middle of the summer... who ever the superintendent is doesn't have a clue. By aerating now, He weakened the grass roots which you never do in the middle of the summer because of the heat. as a result apx 50% of the course is absolutely dead.. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY until they hire a new super

Nice little course, although with recent rains, very wet in some areas, a lot of bunkers badly damaged, in need of care. Greens weren't to bad, but you could tell too much much water and a lot of rounds on them, but undulations and slopes, they were a little tricky. Layout wasn't bad and a few of the holes, you had to take considerations into account on layups and approach shots.

Knob Hill Review

Played here before, but things were slightly different this time. While the staff was great and nothing but helpful and friendly, the course was a little more scattered than usual. i was thinking it was because of a few rowdy groups that day, but the sands in some holes were messy, and there were surprisingly more bird droppings on a couple of holes than i remembered. The food stand at the turn wasn't open the day i played as well.

Course itself was fine. No major issues for or against. Pretty solid which was the same as the last time I played. Pace was pretty quick as well.

Knob Hill 6/5/2016

I hadn't played here in 3-4 years and while it wasn't bad, nothing makes me want to rush back anytime soon.

I really didn't care for the layout. I found it to be a little goofy with many of the greens to be very tricked up. The front was a par 34 with 3 par 3's and only one par 5.

One hole was a a hard dog left right, where it looked like it would be easy to cut the corner over some trees, which I did.

When I got around the corner, there was a row of condos which I believe I hit over the top. Never a good thing to hit the ball over someone's house.

The greens still had aeration holes, which I found surprising for this late in the season.

There were also a couple of holes where if you stayed on the cart paths , you literally had a blind curve where you were directly in front of oncoming tee shots.

The staff was friendly, and the cart girl came around regularly.

Not terrible, but for the price you can do better.

Nice Course

Great staff, nice facility. Greens still bumpy from the recent aeration and top dress. Once they grow it they'll be great. Challenging layout with doglegs, elevation changes and water. Some holes are very forgiving but many are tight driving holes. Favor accuracy over distance. A few risk-reward driving holes for long hitters. Always well kept.

Challenging

A few tough shots throughout the course. Greens were being aerated, which is always annoying, but expected for this time of year. Had an enjoyable round and will be back.

I know it is early, but...

Outside of the greens, course was in great shape. The greens however, were almost unplayable. They were plugged and sanded which created channels your ball would ride. it was literally impossible to roll a ball cleanly.

Greens were awful

Greens were terrible, bumpy and filled with ball marks. Back 9 was really really tough to play with harsh wind. Grille room was awesome with really good food, Kobe sliders were best I've ever had.

A Good Local Course

The course won't "wow" you with layout but its got a good mix of holes. Overall they do a good job with their conditions for a public course. Greens are quick but bumpy. All holes with water hazards are in play, no matter how you decide to play each hole. Even layup shots require precision with narrow landing areas.

Not worth the money

Course was in terrible condition . Ranger had to tell us to pick up the pace of play on the 17th. hole when the foursome in front of us was who was backing up the whole course. Definitely not worth charging $74 to play a course like this.
