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.

Good Day

It was a nice morning, followed by a hot afternoon when the clouds disappreaed. Most holes in good to great shape, some traps still not covered in sand over pebbles/rocks. I'm ready to go back when time permits.....

AWESOME Greens!!

Course was in great shape, one par 4 is temporarily a par 3 as they are completely renovating the fairway.

Greens were FANTASTIC! Rolled true.

How in the world does this course average 4 stars?

Truthfully, The only positive thing about this course is that you can play as much as you want, but of course today they close one of the nines. It was a long drive out there and definitely not worth even the $30 I paid!

Great mothers day

First time at this course and heard mixed reviews. I thought it was fair for the amount of money we paid to play, and we played 27 holes for a minimal fee!! Awesome!!

Great course for walking. Just an awesome day!

Fairways were in great condition as were the greens for late spring. The rough was sketchy and a few lost balls. I think a lot of trees were damaged recently but the crew cleaned up what they could and it never interfered with our game.

Honest Opinion

So, this is the first time I’ve played this course, I’m from Fredericksburg so it was about an hour drive for me. Right off the bat the driving range and the front pulling in look immaculate. I played 27 holes all the courses and my favorite by far was the lake! The staff was friendly and the air from all the other golfers was kind and friendly. Now the only negatives I could say the corse has was some of the greens were recently aerated other than that an amazing place to play golf!

Please People, leave review honestly! Great layout but very poor condition.

Read other’s review and it says Very Good, com’on people, leave the feedback honestly.

I drove 1 hour and 15 min believed it’s a nice condition, but below average fairway.

They aerated all greens but that’s not what I’m pointing out.

It is in a way I guess because the aerated holes are SO BIG!

Used wrong tools?

I’ve been playing lot of other courses but this one is below average, sorry.

I do recommend this course ONLY WHEN CONDITIONS IMPROVED.

And please please, leave a accurate and honest review so others can make right decisions.

Or, it could’ve been hardcore members left those reviews....

Good value

While it was very windy at times we enjoyed playing the course. The pace of play was as expected - we finished in less than four hours. For a large public course with 27 holes this is a good value and fun to play.

Perfect Greens

There are 3 different 9 hole courses. The Cottage course has amazing greens. The Road course had just had their greens aerated so that was not a great experience. The course is fun to play and the scenery is beautiful.

If you want cheap golf you got it

This course is great if you love finishing your first hole with four people in 15 minutes and then having some punk come through and tell you to hurry up and then follow you around all day trying to speed you up. Good thing I tipped him last time. If you have a job that makes you unable to set a tee time til 5 I highly recommend the twilight rate here, $30 unlimited golf til the sun sets and you get to see the same guy clean your carts angry at the end of the day.
