The Knolls was good. Grass on all of the greens, no bare spots. My only problem was how slow the greens were. Usually the public courses in Omaha have fast greens. Otherwise it was a great round.

The Good
My girlfriend and I had a nice time.
The pro shop was very accommodating.
The course was in nice shape.
Lots of elevation changes.
We played in about 4 hours.

The Bad
Number 4 was shortened to a par 3 to redo the green but we knew going in. Temporary green, auto 2 putt.
Seems to be a local favorite.
Unfortunately nobody seems to repair their ball marks.
Group ahead were dragging their feet and causing problems with the greens.

I would play it again.

We were paired up with another 2 some.
They decided playing music was the way to go.
They also liked to talk while you’re hitting your ball. Also liked shuffling through the cart while you’re hitting.
As I am walking off of a green to my cart, the group behind us shouts FORE. No Apology later either. It was a slow day, we were right on top of the group ahead of us. The people behind us were a 3some. Tee times are too close together.

Excellent course.
Greens were probably punched a month ago.
They are speedy and roll well.
My friend and I got off early.
We played 18 in 3 hours.

This establishment should be embarrassed for charging us $43 plus GolfNow fees for this course. (No Refunds Allowed)

The tee boxes were ridiculous. I tried to upload an image and my entire review was deleted. The tee boxes were mostly dirt. The ones that had grass, the weeds were so tall it was hard to find a spot to hit your tee shot without having grass between the ball and club. The tee boxes that had grass were freshly sodded. It was like standing on a cobblestone road. No flat place for your feet. Obviously the greenskeeper is not very knowledgeable. They just threw the sod down on the old tee box, old grass and all, instead of preparing the tee box and leveling it.

The fairways were ok. They had bare spots in some places. They also had sodded some areas by throwing the sod on top of the grass. It was pretty obvious by the fact the dirt on the new sod was visible and 3 inches above the rest of the fairway.

They had a 500 yard par 5 that the had a temporary green at about 340 yards. The sod on that green appears to be thrown on top of the old grass.

The greens were patchy from a fungus. (Incidentally, you get fungus by throwing sod on top of old grass that isn’t removed.)
The greens were VERY long too. Probably a 4 on the stimp meter. I felt under-clubbed with my putter in my hand. They had not been cut in at least a week.

I would never suggest anyone play here. They are called GREENS FEES for a reason.
