Knollwood Golf Course

Range balls are $14 for 70 balls!!! And they’re the extra soft-extra limited flight ones. That price is unconscionable. On terrible mats.
Then, it LOOKED like the course is GREEN - but if you looked carefully, the fringe around the practice putting green is PAINTED GREEN. Then when you look down the first fairway, it LOOKS nice - but once you get out there - it’s actually PAINTED. It barely has any grass. Then you get to the 2nd Hole - and you see how torn up, dry, patchy and horrible the rest of the fairways are.
They’re maintaining greens - like all these LA country courses - but why aren’t they watering the fairways and maintaining them??? It’s absolutely trashed, ripped to shreds, patches of dirt everywhere.
Tee boxes are all mostly not flat, they’re all lumpy and full of humps. Terrible.
It took 3 hours to play the front 9, and 2.5 hours to play the back.
Until some reviews tell us that the course is lush again, I will not play here. It’s the worst I’ve seen it. Doesn’t matter if the greens seem ok, it’s only like that because it’s winter and the cold weather helps to keep them firm.
Is this where public golf is? Is this what the golf industry claims it supports and promotes? It’s depressing. The game is becoming elitist and they’re ok with it. It’s a game for the rich, because the rich can afford to pay for the nice conditions and the rest of the people are being treated poorly, like this, and they don’t care. The days of “Play Golf America” when it needed people to play the game, is over, they no longer care what happens at the low income levels.

We had a 6:40a tee time to play the back 9 only. At 6:35a ,we had 4 foursomes in front of us waiting to tee off. Had to get the starter to try and clean up the mess. Turns out that’s normal for the back 9 only at this course.

We were only able to complete 14 holes in 5 hours. There was a jam up of 3 groups on every tee box. This day reminded me why I never play this course even though it’s the closest track to my house. Unless you tee off early I would AVOID this course on the weekends. I can’t speak to weekdays, it might be faster but I doubt it.

Great course , very challenging but they need lights for the twilight golf

Course is actually pretty interesting layout. Not in bad shape but it’s a public course so it gets a lot of play. Greens were nice. Rolled pretty true. Tee boxes weren’t bad either.

Pace of play however was horrible. 13 holes completed in 5 hours and we had to bail. I’m sorry but 6 hours for a round is not enjoyable. Maybe we got it on a bad day but this is the second time I’ve played there and spent half a day.

This is first time that I had played this course. I was playing with one of the Top Philippines Junior female golfer who was in the area for some world junior tournaments. The course was fairly decent. Enjoyed the lay out! Greens rolled fairly well. I am from San Diego so to make it an every weekend trip is unlikely but if I am in the area…I will play to course again.

We play at 3:50PM. And we barely finish around 8:35PM. It usually finishes within 4-4:30 Hours.

Rude starter and staff in the pro shop. Slow as can be, even before 10am on a Sunday. 9 holes in 3 hours. Good condition, but what’s the point??
