The Hollows Golf Club - Lake/Cottage
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

The dangerously seductive tee shot of hole #2 Lake course. Photo submitted by Michael4560718 on 07/04/2013
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.
Good moderate difficulty course
Good pace of play. Easy to keep track of your golf ball.
Great course
3 9 hole courses offers something for every golfer! Staff is very friendly as the course is well maintained! Still challenging yet unobtrusive! Enjoyed it so much actually got a membership!
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.
Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for your recent experience.
We're sorry to hear you were less than satisfied during your round. We pride ourselves on our providing great service and the high-quality standards we maintain.
We would like to make things right. Please reach out to our management team at the pro shop.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Enjoyed the course.
Enjoyed the course and will be back to play more this year. Scored a 94 so looking forwards to lowering that score to the 80s.
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
Good Course
I've been playing the Hollows for close to 40 years and keep coming back a couple times a year. My only problem with the course is that the tee markers are very hard to find the color. Maybe if they were totally painted the color instead of just a thin line they'd be easier to determine. Otherwise, the course is a fun, challenging course.
For the price unbelievable
When you can play a course for 20 to 30 bucks and get through 18 in under 4 hours on a Saturday.This is a must play course 3-9 hole course to challenge everyone. It's always in great shape greens can be rough at times and sometimes it's the green keepers can be mad and put the pin position is the worse spots....
GREAT FOR WHAT PAY FOR
The Hollows has become a regular in my rotation of places to play around Richmond. For what you pay, cant beat it for my money. Sure there are nicer amenities, and nicer carts, and practice facilities. But for the $41 I paid for a 9:30 tee time on Sunday, worth it.
I've played all three 9's at the Hollows. 12/5, we played cottage to lake. Course was in great shape for early December. Very often is in top condition.
My only complaints would be. I have yet to play there when there had been food other than bars and chips available at the turn. And the person picking pin placement must often get in fights with their spouse. more times than not, there are a few impossible pin locations.
Other than that, I suspect The hollows will continue to be a weekend warrior destination for me.
Going Downhill!!
I have played this course several times over the past 5 years but this was the worst I've ever seen it! First of all, it shouldn't be hard to find a decent cart with a windshield! There were none! Then it took over 4 1/2 hours to play because there was never a marshal on the course! It will be a while before I ever return!

Greens in great shape
Greens were in excellent condition. Fast and true. Course a little wet from sprinklers in a couple of spots. No waiting and no one pressing us so pace of play was great too
