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.

Worth the price

Nice course. Some challenging holes on lake course. Tee boxes were very good. Greens had some crabgrass around edges but were okay. Play off blue tees for some challenge white a little too short. Staff was super friendly

Staff in the pro shop was very rude!

Having played here before I was not anticipating any problems. However the guy in the pro shop collecting the fees was extremely rude and talked to us as though we had never played golf before and gave several stern warnings about particular rules of the course. He held us up for at least 15 minutes!

Don't want to go back!

Crowded

Surprised us , not usually bad pace but Thursday afternoon had tee time after 1 and were backed up three deep . Moved ok once got going , but usually waiting minute or so each tee shot and second . Must disagree with earlier review , greens not great . Burn spots numerous but we're cut consistent . That have worked on traps and a lot more sand . Fairways good but the tees here have always been hard . Didn't get to play lake , wanted to see the work they had done . Got to first hole on lake after playing road and both groups ahead of us were waiting on third group to finish hole . With pro shop permission we just played the cottage and yes played right on thru with no delay . Didn't get to see the greens on lake of course and that's where they have done some work . Overall just nice easy course and the 19th hole is comfortable . Driving range isn't much , but good course for the weekly hacker, beginners and seniors . Easy course to walk .

Not worth the money for what you get

Every single time I've played here the last 4 or 5 years, my group has never been allowed to play the Lake nine. Most of the greens on the road nine are terrible. The staff is unfriendly most of the time. The mowing is inconsistent. Not worth the money at all.

Great Greens, Short Course

This course is in the burbs. Into the deep woods but, worth the drive for their greens. A mid to lower handicap player like myself will eat this place up but, it is fun and for the price, it is worth putting on these greens. Kudos to the greenskeeper here. The greens are slick, true, and in excellent shape. No forced carries and not much trouble around the lake. You can go really low.

Nice course to play

I had not played at the Hollows in a long time, but it was a very pleasant experience to be back. The course is good for new to intermediate players for sure to just go out and play. The course is fairly straight forward. The greens are a little small, but that is just being picky. The fairways and rough were in good condition, the greens were in excellent condition. For an intermediate golfer like myself, it was a great day to work on my game, but also not feel like what is around the corner for me on my next shot. I was able to go truly work on hitting my drives, irons, etc. and just enjoy playing golf.

Good conditions on the course. Fairways were being mowed after several days of rain. Greens were a bit soft but were fair.

Too many walkers!

Course was in good shape, carts are a little old and worn. Biggest issue was pace of play, numerous elderly walkers most in groups of 1 or two made the round take forever. No marshals to group them or ask them to speed up play. I don't know if this is an everyday issue but if it is I sure wouldn't play there again.

Spring is back

Course is coming around . Greens ok , little slow, fairways turning green and tees covered in nice grass. Easy layout . Played Cottage and lakes with no interruption . 3 1/2 hour round and we were in no hurry . Staff always friendly , only issue finished at 440 and when headed for Beer , knickers was already closed . Hopefully coolers will be back out soon . Ran out of water early on back nine and was really looking forward to a drink . Practice range weak, why the 3 star on off course. For the average golfer thou this course is fun and enough water and turns to make interesting . Great walking course . Will be back soon .

Hollows Review

Course conditions were not too bad for early March, some spotty parts on greens. Compared to other courses in area, value isn't the best. Grill is nice and spacious, pretty good food. Practice facilities aren't the greatest, small irons only driving range.

For a short track, greens are sneaky difficult, have lots of slope. Were running faster probably due to dry and windy conditions lately.

Course very well maintained

I'm 29 and have been golfing for 19 years. Course is short but very open and forgiving. Greens are in excellent condition for March, they are true and fast. Experienced golfers could definitely shoot low scores but the course is also inviting for golfers of any skill level!

Walked

I was pleased with this course for this time of year. Greens were pretty quick. Fairways were just turning green, but overall in pretty good condition. It was a great course for walking if you are up for it. I have walked 9 and 18 here and have enjoyed it both times. It was a really nice day, so the course was packed and pace of play was a little slow for me, but still wasn't the worst pace I've played.

Nice Track

Played the Cottage/Lake course. Staff was friendly upon arrival. Driving range just so/so. Only can hit irons on range. Range distance about 200 yds max. Putting green little splotchy but true to the course greens. Tee boxes pretty good, fairways good, rough was good height. sand traps had sand in them but was a little packed, Greens were pretty good for the most part. Few had some rough spots. Great day to play with temp around 75-80 and had a great time. Will play again.
