Course Highlights
The Hollows delivers outstanding value with a well-regarded layout that keeps golfers returning for over a decade. Fairways consistently impress visitors, and friendly staff contribute to an enjoyable round.

About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 70
Length 5829 yards
Slope 115
Rating 67.7

Hollows Golf Club boasts three unique nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. Conveniently, the greens fees are applicable all day, which gives you the opportunity to try out all three. The nines: Cottage, Lake, and Road, are varied enough to appeal to a wide range of skill levels. The Lake/Cottage combination features the most water of the three golf courses. The Lake nine wraps around a massive lake, the centerpiece of the 27-hole course. There are also a few small ponds that come into play on the front nine. The Cottage nine only has water on the third hole but this tough par 3 leaves a lasting impression. It is the Cottage's signature hole that not only features water but also an 8-foot deep bunker on the left.

Some holes are....

Decent course--27 holes, so you'll get some variety whenever you play. Course layout isn't bad-- but some holes are very easy and some are overly challenging for a senior-- few 'in between' . Price is appropriate so far.

Good Value

The Hollows provides a great layout at a great price.

Fairway and rough Conditions improve with the weather and in Summer the greens are well above average. It can be slow pace but enjoy the outdoors and take a deep breath. Great value

No Marshall help available on course…

There was a threesome in front of us obviously impaired and each playing 2-3 balls per/person on most holes. We tried multiple times to call the pro shop but got no answer.

It took nearly 2 hrs 45 min to play 9 holes behind these idiots.

Typically most players here are courteous, and demonstrate good golf etiquette… but when there’s a problem group on the course… there needs to be some recourse available from the course management.

Great course for price

$45 on a Saturday. Carts have ball and club washer. Course layout is a tad confusing at times, drove past the tee boxes on a couple holes. No cart service. But overall a great course.

Tee Time process

When I called the pro shop to register for a TT no one was available. I my call rolled in to a National call center that then took my TT. I had to change the TT on two occasions trying to coordinate with my playing partners. I was told my cancellations went through okay but found out a few days later I was charged for a TT I cancelled. I spoke with Alfonso in the pro shop and he said he would look into the charge and get back with me. HE NEVER DID.

Cheap, easy course to play

The Hollows is a cheap course that allows you to play at your convenience. (No dress code) However, with such lax course rules and low price it brings in players with very poor etiquette. When busy, the pace of play is almost unplayable. You wait so long you forget how to play golf by the time its your turn. The course is generally in good condition for what it is, but the course is rather hard to play as the ground is extremely hard.

Could be so much better

The course is in great shape for the price...

Three 9 he course all different to really test your skills.

I will say the bathroom is always nasty

The weekend tee times just plan to start late and take 5 hours plus to play. You would think with 3-9 hole courses you could control tee times a bit better.

Good course, great value

I thought the course was in good shape for the middle of winter and considering there was about an inch of rain on Friday.

It’s got to be one of the best values in the area. $33 for weekend hot deal after the GolfNow fee.

Fun course and for the most part open and forgiving.

Nice golf course

I had played the Hollows off and on since it opened in 1996 and I have always found it to be in good to very good condition, and they have a very nice restaurant if you choose to use it before or after your play, the staff has always been very friendly and as i have become older and disabled the senior tees are a still challenging but fun course to get out and play, it is very reasonably priced and it is my understanding that new carts are on the way soon, also having 3 set of nines it offers a change up for you as well, i am very thankful that it is here in my home area and look forward to playing in 2022
