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.

This Is one of my favorite courses!

Andy and his team are the best ever!! Everyone is so friendly and they always go above and beyond to make sure their guests are happy and enjoying their round of golf. The entire course is absolutely beautiful! I frequently play at this golf course because of how nice it is! The fairway is like carpet and the greens are awesome and the beauty of the course is breath taking! I highly recommend this horse to anyone wanting to play at a great course!

Nice Course

Very nice golf course.

But found out there statement of "the greens fee being good all day, so feel free to try them all" is incorrect!! If you want to play the other nine there is a fee involved. That is a VERY deceitful statement!! That is the reason I only gave them 3 stars.

I would recommend the course, but I would definitely let them know the fee is only for 18 holes!!!!

Good course, needs some improvements

The course is in good condition given the hot weather. Large patches of blooming clover in the rough that should be eradicated. Makes it very difficult to find your strayed shot, if you find it at all. Slows down the pace of play so surprised it was so prevalent. Greens: in good shape but inconsistent speed wise; most were much slower speed than practice green which was fast. Just makes for a frustrating putting day.

Perfect Day and Great Conditions

The course is in very good condition with the greens well maintained as well as the fairways . The rough is fair with some challenge but not too punitive. Traps could use more sand in them is the only area for improvement. Always friendly staff and nice people golfing there.

Good course rest of facilities need work

Course was in pretty good shape and pace was good on a perfect day for golfing. Bathrooms were not acceptable and the cart was in need of repairs. Several times it wouldn’t start until we turned it on and off or switched it into reverse

Good Value

Very friendly staff. Course not really Difficult but greens were the most challenging as there were few straight puitts. Teen boxes very hard as weather had been dry. Would certainly recommend course.

Great value. Easy to get tee time

Played this course for many years. The lake 9 is the most interesting layout. The greens are solid for a public course. Glad we have this course in the area. Course has quiet peaceful surroundings.

Nice Day at The Hollows

We played the Cottage and Lakes nines with another couple that booked through GolfNow. The course is in better condition than 2-3 years ago, when multiple greens and fairways were under renovation. Fairways are in good shape, but the rough could use more attention. Greens are tricky, and hard with the recent dry weather. I landed a 175-yard tee shot 1 foot behind a middle pin on #8 of the Lakes, but the ball bounced off the green and I made bogey.

The Hollows

This was my first time at the course and I founded it to be a nice course. nice little driving range. It was crowded

so the play was a little slow but still enjoyable. Looking forwards to my next time . I shot a 94 so I look forwards to beating that score the next time.
