Fix the tee boxes.

Some teeboxes have been in need of repair for a few seasons. Need leveling and decent grass.

Muckbowl

Course was a swamp due to several days of rain. Lost a ball in the middle of two separate fairways, plugged in the mud. All lower lying areas were under water. Had to push the powercart twice because of no traction. Ponds overflowed banks. Should have been closed and prepaid fees refunded. This is one of my favourite woodland courses. I am disappointed they had the audacity to take our money for these conditions.

Slow play

The biggest concern with this course is slow players. Group in front of us did not keep up with group ahead of them. At one point, they waited on the Par 4 tee box until the group ahead left the green. They also seemed to drive their cart all over the course. We saw the marshal once during the round, but he took no notice of the gap created by the group ahead of us. Slow play on a extremely hot day was frustrating. It would cost the course nothing to improve pace of play. Marshall needed to pay attention. I suspect he was not paid more than a free round or two and was not motivated to intervene. That said, still good value for money for seniors. I only recommend to others as a value course.

Lovely forest setting

Old growth forest provides welcome shade in heat of the summer. Plenty of dog legs and elevation changes. There are a few patchy areas in and around tee boxes and on fairways that need attending but nothing serious. All in all, great value for the price and a welcoming atmosphere.

Ruby? Cobalt?

Starter moved me from Ruby to Cobalt and handed me a Ruby scorecard. Oops! No big deal, but we discovered greens had several blight spot and golfers ahead of us were scuffing and tearing the greens as they moved around. We moved our balls several times on greens to avoid putting over damaged spots.

Off day

It was a slow fall day. Lots of crew doing work around several of the holes, in no hurry to get out of the way. Some of the ball cleaners were rank - even left my hands smelling awful. They need to be thoroughly cleaned and have decent ball cleaning liquid added. Thay said, I played horribly which tainted my perspective.

Old Course looking old

Always enjoy Knollwood Old Course. Easy on the ego for short hitters because it is below average length. Layout is fun and scenic. The main concern was the amount of damage to greens, like a threadbare rugs with some damage. My playing partner declared damaged areas of greens as ground under repair and moved ball accordingly before putting. Greens need to be repaired for next season.

Wine country golf

Well laid out course with various angles to keep it interesting. Good shots were rewarded, which is how courses should play. Beautifully landscaped which I did not expect for a public course. Only flaw was constant noise of helicopters nearby used for providing tourists aerial views of Niagara Falls. That said, I was alone so maybe I would not have noticed if I had playing partners. All in all, a great round on a lovely course. Also enjoyed a cold one on the patio overlooking the 18th hole. I look forward to playing Whirlpool again.

Aeration Frustration

Course was excellent except for aeration holes on greens. We did not expect this in early August. Put a damper on a great round.

Great outing

Knollwood Old Course, a very pleasant course to play. Lots of interesting views and angles to make it challenging. Accuracy and smart club selection required, but may be too short at approx 5,800 for big dog hitters.

a bit rough in spots.

Some of the greens and tee boxes need the grass reconditioned. Plus you have to look out for Giant Hogweed.

A golfer's course

The course is frequented by mostly older guys who can play. It has good greens and fairways but few amenities. A great value course that plays at a reasonable pace. Good food and drinks available after your round. Not fancy, but solid for golf enthusiasts.
