About Us
Our Story
The golf course was originally designed in 1894 by Lawrence Van Etten and measured some 5,300 yards. A neighboring property was purchased at the urging of A.W. Tillinghast who had been retained to redesign the course in 1925. Tillinghast was replaced a year later by Seth Raynor, who died before the course was completed. To finish Raynor's work, his protege, Charles Banks took over in 1927. All three are given credit for the current design of the course. The course begins with a flourish and culminates with an amazing par 4 18th hole. But that's not all. There's a stunning short par-three 19th hole at Knollwood for unresolved swing thoughts or to settle up.
As a privately owned country club, there are no capital assessments, and our attentive professional staff will cater to your every need. Whether you're playing golf with friends, enjoying tournament competitions, or simply playing socially, Knollwood provides unlimited convenience and enjoyment to fit your schedule. We also boast a newly renovated driving range, putting green, and a short game area.
The Clubhouse is the centerpiece of your membership experience, offering various amenities, including fine dining, casual dining, and a relaxing lounge/patio for post-golf socializing. The stunning views of the golf course and the rolling hills add to the ambiance. While serving as the perfect venue for private parties and special events for all occasions, our year-round member calendar includes social events such as wine pairing dinners, holiday events and brunches, themed events, outdoor barbeques and much more. Equally exciting, we completed a multi-million dollar club renovation in 2022 that combined our rich history and modern ambiance. Take a tour today. Leisure activities such as swimming, tennis, and bocce are also a big part of the activities at Knollwood. Our swim complex has locker room facilities, providing great relaxation and a popular gathering place for friends and families from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
