The Hollows Golf Club - Lake/Cottage
About
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.

Relaxed atmosphere and solid course.
Course is well-maintained. GPS on carts is great! The clubhouse could use a little work. For instance, it would be nice to have a functional water fountain. Also, some drinking water out on the course would be a nice bonus.
Great course
I love playing here. convinient from my work and home.
I've always enjoyed playing at the Hollows
I have played at the Hollows for several years now. I have some great memories there.
Awesome course for the money and the location is nice
Great course. Out in the country. Has challenge but not enough to make you hate it. My favorite course to play
This course is maintained well
The course is maintained well and has a very friendly starter.
I found the GPS system on the cart to be of great value in determining distances to the pin.
Great value, cool course
Me and my buddies enjoyed playing out here. It was well maintained and the greens were true and fast.
Excellent Greens
I gave the course a 3 because of a couple of things. very difficult to navigate the course, not good directions to the next hole. the fairways were a little rough as well. The greens were EXCELLENT! true reads and speedy even though they looked thick. there are three 9-hole tracks. we only got to play two because they were aerating one of the tracks. replay rate is only $8. great deal on golfnow - $20. no snacks that i saw but i will definitely play again.
Beautiful course in good condition.
This course is very nice. I first played this course 15 years ago and haven't been back since, primarily because it is further away from home than other courses. The course is picturesque and well maintained. Although I played terribly, it is an easy course. This course has moved to my top three in the Richmond, VA, area.
Good deal for the money
Not sure the course is worth $40, the normal price. Greens need some work. Course is tight. Holes too close. Had to wait a couple tim es for the group to tee off the next hole before completing our hole.
Great course, super friendly staff
We grabbed the "Hot Deal" for a mid day round on a Tuesday. The staff in the pro shop were very friendly.
We played "Cottage" and "Lakes" both were in great shape. It was my first time playing "Cottage" and we enjoyed it.
I like the golf carts with the GPS, it certainly helped with club selection.
Slow play, squeezed in too many holes
The holes are squeezed together, and you have to wait on players on an adjacent hole before you can hit your shot. No one monitoring the pace of play, which was nearly 2.5 hours for the back nine.
A fun course to play!
The three nine hole courses play around 2900 yards each. Generous fairways in fair shape. The green were advertised as perfect, but something has happened. Cow patty sixed brown spots are in various spots all over the greens (cottage and road courses). It was still fun and I shot my normal boogey golf. Thanks for the peaches!
Great Value
You get a good round of golf at a reasonable price. Green were slow, but consistent , fairways and ruff in average condition.
New favorite in Richmond Area.
3 separate 9 hole courses let you mix and match so things don't get boring. Also, so far these are the best maintained public courses I have found in the area.
DON'T GO
Not worth the money..Course should be in a lot better shape for the value..Don't waste your time, many more choices in the Richmond area for the same price
Fun, solid course
Decent course for practicing different aspects of your game, not a lot of trouble. Decent conditions and a solid staff.
The green were in very , very good condition.
Very brisk pace of play. The greens were in fine condition. Fairways and rough were thick and full which created close to optimum playing conditions.
greens in great condition
with all the rain we've had you would expect golf courses to be in pretty good shape. The greens were in great shape, but some fairways are showing some wear. I am seeing this all of the Richmond area...strange.
Certainly a pleasureable round for $20..
Very good layout of 3 nine-hole tracts.. some charming holes with lovely Virginia countryside views. Greens are lush and reasonably quick for July. Some poa anna creeping in which alters your ball's putted path; but only the most expensive courses have escaped the annual summer infestation of the grass. Still worth the $20 you pay mid-week. Great pub and cold water every 4 holes. Hard to beat the value although a few bare tee boxes need help. Overall, solid B course for the cost.. very quiet too.
You've obviously never played a really good course. Check out the Federal Club nearby. It's a 20 star if you consider Hollows 5
