Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the "New Course" at Knollwood different from the "Old Course" or other local options?

The New Course truly lives up to its name with a more modern, open design that contrasts sharply with the Old Course's tighter, tree-lined fairways. You'll find wider landing areas here, but don't let that fool you - the greens are often elevated and well-guarded, demanding precise approach shots. We love how it offers a different strategic challenge, favoring aerial play over ground game.

When is the best time to play the New Course at Knollwood for ideal conditions?

For the absolute best conditions, we recommend late June through early September. The Canadian summer ensures lush fairways and fast greens, and you'll avoid the chillier shoulder seasons. Booking a morning tee time during this window usually guarantees a comfortable round before any afternoon breezes pick up.

Is the New Course at Knollwood a good value, and what should I expect for green fees?

We think the New Course offers excellent value, especially considering the quality of its modern design and conditioning. Green fees are typically in the mid-range for a public course of this caliber in the region, often around $70-90 CAD for 18 holes with a cart. You're paying for a well-maintained, enjoyable round that feels a cut above many local tracks.

What's the most memorable or challenging hole on the New Course at Knollwood?

For us, the par-3 14th really stands out - it's a beauty and a beast. You're hitting over a significant ravine to a green that slopes deceptively, often with a prevailing wind to contend with. It's a true test of nerve and club selection, and walking off with a par feels like a birdie.

How busy does the New Course get, and what's the typical pace of play?

The New Course can get quite busy, especially on weekend mornings, but the management does a good job of spacing out tee times. We generally find the pace of play to be reasonable, usually around 4 to 4.5 hours for a foursome. If you're looking for a quicker round, try a weekday afternoon - you'll often have more open fairways to enjoy.
