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 was great

Good day on the course. Grounds a little wet in places (but it rained prior night). Overall, course was empty and play was quick.

Ok Value

Keep it in the fairway and the course is fair and fun. No amenities, you need to book this for under $40 to feel like it was worth it.. Greens were good. I would play it again.

forgotten about

it’s the course that was forgotten about.

Staff is great, everything else, not so much.

foursome in front of us so slow we had to speak to the ranger.

walking back and re-teeing almost every other hole.

greens, fairways and tee boxes destroyed.

Shooting range

Never heard so many shouts of four. Very very tight course. Odd lengths. And some holes just done make sense.

Average Course Worth the Money

Decent course, very wide open. Staff and amenities were okay at best. No drinks other that water coolers available. Worth the time and money though.

Run of the mill course

NOTE: if you use 18 Birdies app, the greens were flipped a few years ago but the app has not been updated to reflect that...

The fairways are way too narrow... they should add 3' on both sides.

The greens are tricky as they are mixed grass and some have way too much slope on them.

I'd definitely play again as it was fairly easy to get out, price wasn't too bad but be prepared to spend 4.5 - 5 hrs on your round.

Slow course…zero oversight.

We arrived at knoll east at 12:00pm for a 12:34 tee time. Upon checking in we were told that they didn’t have a name for our reservation but saw two golfers booked. We were paired up with our other half of our foursome about 8 minutes before tee time.

The group in front of us was as slow as a snail. 18 holes of golf took us just about 6 hours. The “ranger” passed us several times and did absolutely NOTHING to speed them up at all ever. The management of this club really needs to better evaluate how they train and/or decide to keep their staff.

In addition do not think you will find any water around the course with the exception of the third tee box. The pro shop has zero beverages for sale and zero snacks.

All in all this was a totally overpriced and underwhelming experience.

They were almost 2 hours behind. Every hole you had to wait our tee time was at 12:20 and we didn’t finish because of how long you waited each hole. Great course nice workers but they should let people know before charging 66 dollars to play 11 holes.

Waste of money and your time

Literally the worst golf experience I ever had in my life (I’ve been playing golf for more than 13years). Mean and lazy staffs, bad customer service, no course management, and many more . If you are planning on coming here to play, please read all the other reviews, and bring your HELMET! Last, staffs does NOT wear their face masks.

Great conditions in November

For November, this course was in great condition. Most of the leaves were cleared so not a lot of balls lost under leaves. Staff was friendly and got us out early. Overall very happy and will look to play again.

(only issue was my 18 Birdies app was totally wrong, I'll blame 18 Birdies for that)
