Greens need some work, Great staff and layout

I enjoyed my Memorial Day round. Staff is awesome. The greens had been recently punched and sanded...that was a mild disappointment. Keep working hard on making the course great.

Terrible Workers!

Long story short, I called the day before to make sure 5 could play. They said it was okay, drove 1.5 hours to play and once we arrived, their extremely rude pro shop guy refused to let us play. Would not go if my round was free!

Not bad

This was the first time playing here. The course was in pretty good shape. Clubhouse was nice and grabbed a quick bite at the turn. This is a good course for a high handicapper. I played the white but should have played the blues. Its relatively short. The greens rolled true. This is a great scoring course. There arent many challenging shots. The 18th is a par 5 that plays as a par 4. I would say that all the par 5's are short. I would play again for sure.its a good course for the money.

I had a great round

I had a great round of golf. We have gotten alot of rain lately so the greens were slow.
Some of the golfers were not fixing their ball marks on the green which overtime will hurt the greens.
I will play this course again in the next couple of weeks.

Rain check

Are we able to get a rain check. We got through the first 9 holes and then got rained out. Wasn’t sure how it worked to try and request this. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks for playing at Knox Muni! Sorry to hear you're back 9 was rained out, but I would be more than happy to help with issuing you a rain check for those holes you were unable to play. Please shoot me an email to JSmedley@GolfKnox.com with your tee time information (names of players in your group, tee time, fee you paid) and I will make sure that we get you set up with that rain check.

Best,

Hit and miss

No pun intended with the title. This course is kinda hit and miss. Some very nice spots. The back 9 is in much better condition, in my opinion than the front 9. Some cart path issues, mostly on the front, course mostly in good shape. Just some weird things throughout the course, though. Spots in fairways and even just in the first cut that are inconsistent and out of place .Random holes all over the place. Anything off the fairway, even slightly, and you might have no idea where your ball is even if it wasn't unreasonably far and wide. Greens were in good condition. Not a lot of people on the course today, I was essentially alone. The second half of the day that was because of the rainstorm, but it doesn't seem to get a lot of action. Friendly staff. No driving range here, which is strange to me. But it was a nice, generally relaxing round. I would go again, but I don't live in town.

Rock Hard Fairways

I played in the summer so it was kind of dry, but not dry enough to have dirt in the fairways. I thinned some of my approach shots because there was absolutely no grass underneath the ball. The greens were ok, but the fairways were absolutely terrible. Don’t waste your time and money. Don’t go.

Thank you for the review. I was disappointed to read that you were not happy with the conditions of the fairways this past summer. We always strive to make sure all of our guests at Knox Muni feel as if they have had a fun and enjoyable experience at a great value, and it appears that we've fallen short of that goal during your visit - I apologize that we did not meet those expectations for you. That said, we do believe the course went into the dormant season of winter in arguably the best condition we have been in in quite some time, and certainly hope you will give us another try this spring/summer when the course "greens" back up from the cold of the off-season. Hope to see you soon!
