Knightswood
Good course for the kid. Wide fairways and well kept. Can get round In about 2 hours.
Nightswoooood
Autumn has arrived,light wind hint of moisture in the air,ground a little soft but not muddy. Trees shedding there leaves makes for an interesting round on a 9 hole oasis in the middle of the city. Greens were amazing for this time of year 'hats off'. Well enjoyed little walk ,shall return ,very reasonable.
Not a hard course but all the holes have their own challenges
I first played this course about 40years ago,I have just started playing again and condition of course now is 100% better now.And ALL the staff are brilliant
Still a Gem
Despite its nine holes, this wee gem of a golf course provides ironically, sufficient ease and or difficulty, in order to satisfy the requirements of most golfers.
The course is lush and the tree lined fairways keep you honest with full adherence to the local rules. The course lacks distance indicators and refuse bins but that would probably require 24 hour security to be maintained.
It’s unfortunate that the greens themselves can only be described as ‘permanently winterised’ due to their dilapidated condition.
Yes, this is a negative but one which can’t only be attributed to lack of investment. I have been playing this course periodically for approximately the past sixty years.
When I was a novice being introduced to golf at this course by my uncle John McAllister, I was instructed in the rudiments of the game, which firstly stated the imperative of repairing any damage to the course that you may have caused. Way back then, the greens, including the then large practice green, were the envy of much superior golf courses and not only by similar public courses. The demise in the condition of this particular course can be attributed to the withdrawal of Marshal Supervision, in the form of Green keepers and course maintenance personnel but perhaps more relevant, the demise in golf etiquette, particularly in the damage repair department.
Regardless of the deficiencies that do exist with Knightswood Golf course, I am sure that the overall challenge will serve to hone your skills in the game and provide a cost effective golf challenge with the associated health benefits of exercise in the fresh air.
Decent municipal course
Greens are OK in summer, and the rest is in decent condition. Worth the money, especially as you're local.
Greens let down a decent course
Played many times. I have a membership for the course. Played today though and the greens are absolutely dreadful. It wouldn’t lessen the course to have winter greens on. That’s how bad they are. Shame,because it’s a really decent 9 hole course apart from the greens.
Nice course for the money
The course itself could do with some improvements but for a nice simple 9 hole it’s good. I played after 3 weeks of no rain and the greens could have done with a lot more watering
golf
A course where you can see staff work hard to keep it tidy...in difficulty times
Some interesting holes
Variety
This course was very poor no difference between the rough and fairway, greens were very patchy and the tee boxes were a mud hole.
Good course for beginners
Played this course since I was a kid and it's improved a lot in the last few years. Greens are pretty level and its wide open course but it's ideal for a quick 9 holes after work in the evening.
