Paul,

I'm not sure who originally designed this Knollwood course, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Donald Ross. I could be wrong though...

Knollwood  is not architecturally  interesting.   I would be very surprised if  Ross or his team routed this layout

Paul,

Take a pass, Call Wigler and play Plum Hollow instead!

Good call, Jim. Plum Hollow is DEFINITELY the "hidden gem" in the Detroit area. In fact, I'd rather play Plum Hollow (designed by Chas. Alison) than many, many Detroit area courses. No doubt about it.

Very interesting routing and design, over a neat property... just off 8 Mile Road too!
