Having read parmegt's recent review, I was not expecting much from Knollwood, and was still left disappointed. I think the "bones" of this golf course are wonderful, great design, visually appealing, enough of a challenge to keep your interest without beating you up. That said, my experience today was as follows:

Arrived early for my 6am tee time, and when Arnie finally opened the shop, did not even have the courtesy to respond to my hello. He took forever to "fiddle" around with the cash drawer and other things, mean while people are waiting. I was clearly the first person in line, but he totally ignored me and called a person from back in the line to check in first. (WTF) Then he did not want to even take my $$, and by now it is past my tee time ??. He was a very unpleasant individual who should not be dealing with the public.

As permegt described, the course is not in good condition, in fact probably the worst I have ever seen it. Tee boxes not level, shaggy, and not maintained. Fairways had a lot a bare areas and were just not well maintained. The rough was a disaster, mostly dirt mixed with scraggly weeds. Greenside bunkers had sand, but it was unraked and compacted.

Despite all the negatives, love the course, enjoyed perfect weather and our three some walked in a very acceptable 3 hours 10 minutes, with no waiting. (Second off following a two some) I am hoping that they bring this wonderful course back to the condition I remember it being in, and that they employee somebody in the pro shop who creates a more welcoming atmosphere for the patrons spending their $$ to play here.
