The Knolls course is parkland style layout ambling along tree lined fairways with water in play on over half the holes playing to elevated greens, many of which are defended by sand traps. There's 3 sets of tee boxes that play to 6,784 yards, 71.3/123, course/slope ratings from the tips with two shorter tees, designed by Henry Hughes.
