About

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.

People make a difference

For the everyday player , senior or beginner great venue for golf. Three 9 hole layouts with a different personality ,gives golfers choice . Greens and tees excellent , but fairways still need a little work. Traps soft and fluffy . Now have played 4 or 5 times and can't wait to go back. Intermediate golfers will love the length and an errant tee shot usually still playable. The staff are friendly helpful and add to the overall experience. From the pro shop to starter to 19th hole all very accommodating . A great overall atmosphere for a very enjoyable day . People do make a difference.

Variety

With three nines get to choose . They are recommending road and lakes but never have played cottage so played there and lakes. Cottage has not caught up as quick in condition. Fairways and greens still working on getting back from winter so would play other two for a few more weeks. Cottage is the tightest of the three and to me seemed to be shorter, so think I actually prefer road course for me. Do see a lot of singles and walkers out here as well . Would be great course to walk and we even talked walking next time out . For our skill level good challenge . Not long and most threes in 150 range and par fours of middle 320-380 so perfect for intermediate golfer . Layout allows for play even with errant tee shot. Enjoyable day and do like the personality difference of the three . Pace is great and in some cases you choose. We played cottage first stopped to eat sandwich in cart and watched activity on all three first tee boxes . Wondering where do we go. Not busy so had pick . Easy to get to and not far from west end so will be playing often this year.

Windy but nice course

interesting course for the intermediate golfer. With three courses offers a good variety. Played the road course which I am told is the easiest and yes moderate challenge . Some spots still repairing from winter, cottage course was closed when began round, but overall good condition.greens ran very true and consistent, so putting or chipping fun. Even holed pitch out of sand that ran very true. Lakes course then gives you whole different look with the water and blind tee shots . One hole has cow bell so can ring and let the golfers on the tee know you have moved on. Windy and cooler than forecasted, but overall like the variety of holes and plan on playing again. Want to play the cottage because understand the most challenging of the three . Definitely will be playing again soon.

great place to be.

From a few days out from the melting of our third snow since february, the course was pretty soggy but there is no question that warmer, dryer weather will prove what a hidden jewel The Hollows is. The Hoolows is one of my favorite courses in tne Richmond area.

Hidden gem

I played this in 38-40 degree weather and cloudy. Hardly ideal golf conditions. Honestly, I bought the tee time forgetting the weather forecast for the following day and being nonrefundable, I went for it. I was not disappointed. Most of the courses in this area are going into dormancy and so the greens are green but the fairways are generally not. Still, a great course, greens were fantastic, and fast. Just like they should be IMO. Many are little dots and many are huge. Their one common characteristic is none of them are flat, and I love to putt so it made for great fun. Even though we are middle/late December, the fairways were in great shape.

I will be back to play this in the summer when it should be in premium condition.

Worth the drive, worth the cost, and certainly a challenging course.

Solid Course

I played the Cottage and Road courses which were in great shape despite a lot of recent rain. The greens had recently been punched - but were very fast despite that. The staff is always great - and the restaurant/bar is excellent.

i love the greens

course was in good shape. i wish when they mowed the fairways they would not leave chucks of grass there, but that is just being picky. the GREENS are always in great shape. they are smooth and not bumpy, thus giving you a true role. enjoy.

Player beware

I have played this course a few times due to a low cost round. Got this round last minute because some buddies wanted to go out. Do not play this course on the weekend. Very poorly managed grouping on the three nines and the Marshall's do nothing but ride around and talk. Greens were decent but the rest of the course is poorly maintained. One lady runs the food service by herself, it's very slow. If you can find this course for twenty dollars on a weekday then go for it. Do not make the same mistake I did and pay forty dollars for a Sunday noon tee time. The pace of play is painfully slow. This course has really fallen off.

Short but challenging

Great staff and the course was well maintained. Only complaint was slow play...not the fault of the course though just continuing to notice slow players do not allow faster players through.
