Frequently Asked Questions
When's the absolute best time to play The Knolls for ideal conditions?
We always recommend late spring, specifically May, or early fall in September. The fairways are lush, the fescue is manageable, and the cooler temperatures make those uphill climbs on the back nine much more enjoyable. You'll avoid the summer humidity and the course is usually in peak condition.
What's the biggest challenge golfers face at The Knolls, and how should I prepare?
The greens at The Knolls are notoriously subtle and fast, often breaking more than they appear. Your best bet is to play a practice round if you can, or at least spend extra time on the practice green to get a feel for their speed and undulations. Don't be afraid to aim for the fat part of the green and trust your short game.
Is The Knolls worth the green fee, and what's the best way to secure a tee time?
Absolutely, The Knolls offers fantastic value for a premium public course experience, typically ranging from $80-$120 depending on the day. We strongly advise booking 2-3 weeks in advance online, especially for weekend mornings, as prime slots fill up quickly. Consider an afternoon twilight rate for a slightly lower cost and often a quicker round.
What's one unique "must-do" experience or highlight at The Knolls I shouldn't miss?
You absolutely have to savor the view from the 14th tee-box - it's a stunning downhill par-3 overlooking the entire valley. Take a moment to soak it in before you try to stick your tee shot on that tricky green, which is guarded by a creek on the left. It's a true postcard moment.
How's the pace of play at The Knolls, and are there any post-round amenities worth sticking around for?
Pace of play is generally good, usually around 4 hours 15 minutes, especially if you play early. After your round, head to the "Ridgeview Grill" in the clubhouse; their Knolls Burger and a cold local craft beer on the patio are the perfect way to cap off the day. It has a great view of the 18th green.
