Course Highlights
Friendly staff and well-maintained greens with subtle elevation changes make this course consistently enjoyable for golfers of all levels. The layout rewards strategic play with deceptively challenging tight holes that add length beyond the posted yardage.

Knoll East , a place to play

I have to say, we enjoyed playing at the Knoll East even if the 9 holes were hampered by a VERY slow 2 some in front of us. We pasted them before the 10th hole and even had some great food duirng the break.. The second nine holes went very fast. Enjoyable outing. !!!
I have played the once before and would definitely go back !!

Worth the Money for $20

Very short course with only 2 sets of tees- ladys and mens

Course is very short, nets on the first few holes which seem oddly placed

The front 9 isnt in great condition and holes are on top of each other, but the back 9 is more spread out and in better shape (my buddy said because of proximity to the road)

Overall a short course that played quick on a Friday afternoon. Not in great condition but good enough for $20

Good Value

You get what you pay for, and I don't mean that in a negative way. This place is cheap an kept in fair condition. In fact, I think it is one of the least expensive courses in the area.
Since that is the case, you get a lot of beginners out here so the pace of play is slow. **I do have a problem with the fact that there is NEVER a ranger around to speed up play and keep everyone on track. This last round I played behind a 6-some (yup, 6) for holes 3-9. That was rough.

Great value but you will have a slow round

The staff was very friendly when we arrived and we were in a cart and on our way quickly. The course was in good condition, but the players out that day were very slow. Would recommend going in the middle of the week and late morning.

Great Track Great Value

When I was younger the slightly short length of Knoll East kept me looking at Crystal Springs Resort courses and others in NJ...for the longer tees. As I get closer to 60 yrs old, now the yardage here is well within a challenging range. It plays quite longer on a few uphill holes. The course has a very nice mix of doglegs, excellent greens! (as of 6.18.14), variety of elevation changes and slopes. It's a little more open than others courses I often play, which helps keep the game on course on windy days. I've already booked another round for this week and had such a great time I plan to return often! No driving range so plan a warm up elsewhere, Practice putting green and a practice net near clubhouse to swing a few before your round. I believe it is also a daily fee course so extra holes are possible. Just pay cart fee again if riding. Adult beverages and food available.

Not bad

A couple friends and I went out early afternoon and found the course to be very quiet. Got right on without any trouble at all and never saw a group behind us. Narrow course with many parallel holes, so be prepared to lose a few balls or be playing in the next fairway if you have trouble keeping the ball straight. On many of the holes you can decide to not hit the driver as this is a shorter course. Fairways were average condition but the greens had many dents from players not repairing their ball mark. I would play here again.

Solid Golf Course

Course was a little wet, but this is due to the large amount of rain received the past week.

Short course.

Greens were in great condition.

Front 9 has many holes that are adjacent to another, and errant golf balls are common.

Pace of play is typical for a public county course. It was slow with a backup on multiple holes on the front 9. Pace increased dramatically on back 9 as people only played 9 holes.

Fun round but slow play

The course was in a lot better condition than it was last year. The fairways were slim, as usual. If you do not hit the ball straight be prepared to lose a lot of balls. The only problem I had was the pace of play. There were so many people walking that it back the whole course up for those of us that were on carts. Still, a fun experience, and I would recommend the course.

Taking advantage of a sunny day!

The course was still wet from all the rain we have been having, that being said you have to make the best of the few sunny days we seem to get here in NJ.

Decent Course for the money

Played this course before and it was in better condition. To be fair, considering how early in the year and how brutal the winter, the course was better than expected. Many spots were still suffering from the recent heavy downpours and were waterlogged, especially the sand traps. Carts were only allowed on the cart paths but numerous spots had none or just dead ended. Halfway thru, I wished I had just walked because it was far more difficult walking back and forth to the cart which seemed to always be on the wrong side.

Nice course, no martial, slow play

The course was very nice. Play was very slow due to the two groups ahead taking 8-15 shots to reach greens. No martials.
Unfriendly atmosphere.
