Course Overview
Knob Hill is true to its name, with striking downhill shots and huff n’ puff approaches to some fast greens. Many long, open and grassy fairways, a water hazard, and plenty of hardwoods force accurate throws. Well-marked tee signs and putting basket.
Course opened in 1994 with current White tee-A pin layout, and expanded in stages to include Red, White and Blue tees and three pin placements per hole that challenge all level of players.
Tees: Red tees, natural (Recreational 850-rating); White tees, concrete (Intermediate 900-rating); Blue tees, rubber Flypad (Advanced 950-rating).
Targets: DGA Mach 3; A/B/C pin locations.
Par: Red 55, White 58, Blue 62.
Designers: KB Clark, J. Gary Dropcho, Michael Novara.
