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.

Slow and no reason for CPO
No reason for greens to be so furry and slow, could’ve been cut lower, not wet and no chance of burnout. Great job of drainage since I last played here. That being said, cart path only was very unnecessary with almost no wet areas on the fairways, 90 deg and avoid the few wet areas. Decent course, 3 nines, played Lake to Cottage. Harder than they look especially with 20 mph winds. Blue tees rank short but don’t play that way with 500+ yd par 5s and the shortest par 3 at 170yds, 2 at 185 and one over 200. Restaurant/bar always was good, did not stop in this time. Range was closed. Lot of good work but…
Pretty Course - Pace of Play an Issue
We love the layout of The Hollows and it has been one of our favorite courses to play. However, pace of play is often an issue and was on Saturday. It took 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes, which is not fun. As often happens, players move around on the course and you end up with people in front and/or behind that did not start there.
The course is in good shape and the greens are excellent. I wish there was a solution to the undisciplined conditions that are present more often than not.
Dont play on Friday
Poor experience compared to what I am familiar with at this course. The range was closed because the personnel that worked there couldn't be bothered to collect the range balls. Then the first tee was backed up and 20 minutes late and people were playing as a group of seven. Front nine took 2 hours and 20 minutes when we can usually play in under two hours. Skipped three holes on the back since the groups out there were so slow and had no idea what they were doing. They had two open holes in front of them but were in no hurry. Need to have someone out as a ranger to move people along so their day is not ruined with such slow play.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

Hidden Gem?
My playing partner and I played Hollows GC for the first time. This course is deep in the countryside, and that adds to the charm. It features three 9-hole courses making it a great destination to play 18, Have a quick lunch and play another nine. It was HOT!…104 degree heat index with full sun and NO breeze. So, for someone my age, that made it a little less enjoyable. However, the course was in good shape and although some fairways give you the appearance of being very narrow, they actually have some wide landing areas. Challenging, but fair. We thoroughly enjoyed the round and look forward to returning when the weather is a little cooler.
One of the best golf courses in Virginia!
My brother and I play at this course frequently because it is one of our favorite courses in the state of Virginia to play at! We love this course it is well-maintained the fairways are like carpet, the greens are immaculate! Andy, the owner of this course takes pride in making sure this course is in top-notch condition! Every time we play here we see him on the course doing maintenance to make sure it is kept up. In addition to Andy being so amazing and managing an awesome course, his golf pro Jimmy is awesome! If you need lessons he is who you need to see! He loves what he does and it shows because he is very passionate about giving lessons and seeing the results in his customers! I also wanted to Bob in The golf shop and Jerry…. they are amazing And always always giving the best customer service ever…… Let’s entire team and golf course is the best of the best of the very best! Thank you all so much for being so wonderful! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Great day in the heat
Course in great shape considering all the rain, heat and dry conditions the past month. Tee boxes , fairways and greens all in great shape. Crabgrass being killed off around the green due to the heat and dry weather last month so glad they are being proactive. Great pace of play, only 3:43 minutes to play 18.
