Never again
Played this course in April 2018 and would not recommend it. We were the only 2 players on the course and after a couple of holes it wasn't hard to see why. The fairways and greens were in a dreadful state, hard to distinguish between the rough and the fairway and some tee boxes were none existent! Even though we have had a long wet winter it doesn't excuse the state of the course (which resembles a cow field) as other courses in the area have managed to cope well enough. We paid £17 each for the priviledge, a total waste of money. Avoid this course at all costsReviewer Rating

We booked this course through teeofftimes and played 31 May 2014. The course description certainly emphasised it being a round of two halves and the majority of our society would agree.
First impressions weren't fantastic. The facilities did seem to lack somewhat. Parking was very limited and the club shop offered very little in the way of golfing products. I would never mark this as a down point on a course though as you shouldn't really be turning up to a course without the essentials. One point I would like to bring up before reviewing the actual round is the course dress code. I don't think I have ever played on a course where people have gone out in football shorts and trainers. Several people were out there in jeans as well. This was very disappointing and seemed to have already made an impression on the members in our party.
So, onto the course itself. You begin on a par 3 - 154 yard hole. Sadly this was to bring up one of the major issues of the day. Distances and markers! The hole appears a lot longer than 154 and playing off the whites several of the guys were taking 5/6 irons to even reach the green. After the opening hole you venture out over the road and onto the flat ground. 7 holes lined up nicely with open fairways and a few hazards here and there. Again though the length of some holes did seem a bit inaccurate and the none existent markers made it tough to estimate yardage. Drainage around these opening holes did make missing the fairway tough. Plugged lies and balls disappearing in the first cut made for a frustrating few hours. Oh, and if you are unlucky enough to find a bunker lets just hope you do so early on in the day as there are no rakes available and they were already a mess by 11am. There are some pleasant holes throughout the front 9 but I think verdicts were already locked in. This course had disappointed many of the players and most were just wanting to get through the back 9 as fast as they could.
Then there was hope. I've never seen such a difference in a course. Without knowing the club history I think it is fair to say this used to be a municipal 9 hole course some years ago that has added 9 rather enjoyable and challenging holes. Sadly this back 9 didn't make up for the overall failings of the course and these holes may only have seemed remotely pleasurable due to the blandness of the opening half of the round.
In summary I would have to say Knights Grange really did let us down. The price may be it's only saving grace. However this doesn't condone such basic neglect in regards to the dress code, course markings and ground keeping. You can find much better courses in this area for a very similar price.

Not well cared for. I advise playing with an orange ball, there are that many daisies, you spend alot of your time looking for your ball,even on the fairway!!
It is not a very well planned out course and is very confusing for the first timer. I went for nine holes, played the first three ok. Played the completely wrong hole for the fourth and got totallly disorientated. Gave it up as a bad job, and played the ninth on my way back to the clubhouse.Even the map of the course on the scorecard is no help. wouldn't go on my own again, unless i've played a few rounds with someone who knows the course

We visited this course in March 2015 and found it to be a very nice course, we did not mind that there were no distance markers as we had our garmin watches with us. We had a good game and decided to go back in the better weather,when it would be dryer. What a disappointment ! The rough was so bad that we had difficulty finding our balls in the flowering clover. By the time we found the balls and tried to hit the ball out we were exhausted. The fairways were ok and the greens were good, but the bunkers were a disgrace. No rakes and they had not been raked it seems for weeks. Some of them were full of weeds. Not every tee box had the tee markers on them either. What a pity although it was cheap to play, we will not be returning
