Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the "Old Course" at Knollwood truly old-school, and is it still relevant today?

You'll immediately notice the mature tree-lined fairways and smaller, subtly contoured greens that demand precision. It’s a true walk through golf history, where strategic placement trumps brute force, offering a refreshing contrast to modern designs. We love how it rewards smart play over sheer power, making it incredibly relevant.

When is the absolute best time to play Knollwood's Old Course for ideal conditions?

We always recommend late May through early October for prime conditions at Knollwood. The fairways are lush, the greens roll true, and you avoid the early spring wetness or the occasional late-season chill. If you're looking for value, the shoulder seasons in May or late September can offer fantastic rates with still-great weather.

How challenging is the Old Course at Knollwood for an average golfer, and what should I expect?

Don't let the "Old Course" name fool you; it's a fair test but certainly not a pushover. You'll find it demands accuracy off the tee, especially with those mature trees guarding the fairways, and the greens can be deceptively tricky. It's a course that makes you think, which is exactly why we enjoy it so much.

Is playing Knollwood's Old Course a good value, and what are the typical green fees like?

We consider the Old Course a fantastic value for the quality of golf you get. Green fees typically fall into the mid-range for a well-maintained, classic course, especially if you book online in advance or look for twilight deals. It's an experience that feels more expensive than it actually is, which is always a win in our book.

Are there any specific holes or features at Knollwood's Old Course that really stand out?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 7th, which plays over a small ravine to a well-bunkered green - it's a beauty and a challenge. We also love the strategic par-5 14th, where a smart lay-up can set up a birdie opportunity. The course's quiet, natural setting throughout makes every round feel like a peaceful escape.
