The Hollows Golf Club - Lake/Cottage

Most greens were in bad shape and the 2nd cut off the fairways was horrible

Greens are close to unplayable, in addition course has several temporary greens. Used to be one of my favorite places to come out to play., maybe next year as I don’t see the effort to save the course this year.

Course is usually in good shape but the greens were burned out and diseased. Understand it was hot and no rain in late July so a few courses around here lost their greens. Need to tell the patrons when they show up. Also ridiculous pace of play. Normally its fast Took five hours because we were behind these four rednecks. They were wandering around all over the place , searching for balls for five to ten minutes, driving backwards and blasting music. Held up the entire course. 10:26 tee time and finished around 3:20 PM.Won't be rushing back any time soon.

I normally like the hollows but it’s gone way down hill over the past couple years

The greens which had splotches of grass was molasses slow and there were several temporary greens. This course has taken a beating from the heat and is not worth the trip nor money to golf here right now. Many of the t boxes were burned out and the bunkers were nothing more than mud.Mother nature has not been kind to The Hollows.

Course was easy to schedule and started right on time.

Pace of play was very good,less than 4 hour round.

Could be more choices for after play food, but what we had was good.

Played The Hollows yesterday and I felt like I needed to warn others. The greens are infected with a fungus that has left most/all of them with holes/bare spots/brown dead looking grass. The attendant in the pro shop said nothing before we paid/teed off, and we quickly saw issues- the greens are all but lost in many cases. It’s bad enough that the fairways and rough aren’t in too good of shape either (easy to lose a ball just barely off of the fairway due to the type(s) of “grass” they have lol.

All I’m saying is that the course is fun, but if I had known the conditions I would have gone somewhere else. Even $30 is too much to pay play the course in this shape.

Great time played cottage and road courses greens and fairways in good shape the t-boxes need some work. Will definitely be returning for another round, hopefully able to play lake course

Solid course for a reasonable price. It's very well maintained aside from some of the tee boxes. The greens were all in amazing shape which made putting (usually the worst part of my game) very enjoyable. Varied hole designs so playing never got stale. Tight fairways on a lot of the holes made it a moderately difficult course. Only complaints are that they don't have a ranger (pace of play was very slow on my back nine due to one foursome screwing around), and that the carts are extremely loud.

I have played The Hollows since it first opened. After Tommy Pollard, the original owner and architect- a local suburb HS player who crafted this course - passed away from a severe heart attack at a young age - the course was sold by gamily to it’s present owners (young and ambitious).... they have spent a ton of money improving the fairways and greens and are constantly putting money back into the course. It is in the best condition and all I can say is Pollard would be so proud. It is a very fun course... not difficult yet a very fun course that does have a small handful of difficult holes but if you play smart can shoot a good score. A friendly course, friendly staff - not “in-your-face” friendly, just an”country-friendly” for those that get that. Each year it gets better, the owners put their profits back into the course and thrilled by their outlook and long term direction. It’s a FUN course - and a family friendly course. A gem for it’s appeal and focus. Definitely a value the money and worth the drive..... only a 1/2 hr from center of center city of Richmond.

This was my first round of golf since a recent heart attack. I wanted to play a familiar course as I’ve been here many times before. My playing partner and I played Road/Lake and it sure felt great being out! The course was in good shape except for one fairway under repair. The greens ran true and were perfect. The staff was very pleasant too. I highly recommend.

Played the Saturday (before Easter Sunday) after 15 tornadoes touched down in VA and the course was still in great shape. 90 degree rule and the greens were rough but the course played fair. Going back very soon and when my friends want to play I always make it their first time at The Hollows. Thank you to my old boss from Valentine Electrical, Dennis B, for introducing me to the enigma that is The Hollows! -JD Scott-

The course is in great shape compared to 6 weeks ago. The greens are really decent, the fairways are we good and we caught pass are much better than they were when I played a few weeks back. Are they friendly staff to a course in decent shape and you have a great bargain on GolfNow.

The Hollows is an incredible golf course, with 3 very straight forward 9 hole courses. Each one has it's own unique character. You can play 9 or 18, or if you really feel up to it, you can continue on and play the whole entire 27 holes!

You will use every single club in your bag. I know it sounds strange, but, you'll hit a crisp 7-iron one time, and then next time, you'll have to drop down to a 6-iron because either the winds changed, the flagstick changed, or maybe even the "Golf Gods" are making it play a little tougher! Ha ha ha...

Great staff, very friendly people, and just an overall favorite course to play! In closing, I hope you can see the very excited video that I shot today (4/22/19) from Lake #6, where I did an amazing "bump 'n run" with a 9-iron from roughly 20 yards away, and holed it out for a Birdie!

The weather warmed up nicely and the course is getting into shape. Greens were just aerated so slow , sandy and bumpy. Should be ready in a couple of weeks .

It’s winter so fairways were thin, greens were rolling good for the time of year. For the price the golf course was a good deal.

Rain and snow has taken it's toll on the road course. Even the cart paths are a solid mud bog. The greens and fairways are 85% but they have lost the ruffs and paths. They'll get it back in spring but I would not recommend the course now.
