The Hollows Golf Club - Lake/Cottage

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.

The Hollows is a superb value. The three nines are always in good condition and their greens may be some of the most underrated in the area. They are quick, possess subtle breaks and generally role true. Despite the lack of any stunning landscapes, the designers adeptly created a diverse array of holes many possessing conspicuous individuality. My only demurs are the attitude of one of the elderly, part-time shop employees and the frustrating fact that only about one in three GPS systems work in their golf cart fleet.

I am a senior with handicap around 12-14 and love the length, difficulty and condition of all 27 holes. Always folks on the course watering greens or doing other maintenance. Love the firmer sand in bunkers producing fair shots. Although I live about an hour away, it is worth the trip to enjoy the course.

I have played this course for years now and with the exception of the occasional repair, this course is always in great shape. I played the Cottage and Lake 9's with three others. No complaints from anyone. I will be back!

The course is in very good shape, the greens are very consistent, speed of play was appropriate and the staff is wonderful!

I always enjoy the Hollows. Course is in good shape except for one hole they are redoing.

The course as a whole was in great condition with the exception of the 9th hole on the road course which apparently under repair and would have been nice to know in advance.

I have played here before and always enjoy it. I enjoy the course and the carts have GPS in them so they can help you judge distance a little better.

The course was in decent shape. About what you would expect for a greens fee of $35. However, they seem to have issues with starting time management. The course has three nines but it appeared that they were starting everyone off one one nine. The end result was that our group was third in line at our appointed tee time. It took several holes before the log jam worked itself out. After that, the rest of the round was enjoyable.

I was able to play the Lake and Cottage courses the other day. Both courses were really nice. The greens and fairways were in great shape. There were some challenging water holes, some protected greens, and some nice elevation changes. All of which made playing these two courses that much more enjoyable. The range was is in good shape (Irons Only) and the practice green was very nice. The restaurant had great food and the Pro Shop staff was really friendly. The carts have GPS built in but I didn't bother using it. It is a lot closer than you think and if it is far for you, it is worth the drive. I know I will be going back again and again.

Course is very fun to play. Great Value and Great Staff. Not real difficult.

27 holes here, played the Lake and the Cottage. Lake more difficult, with a lot of water, however, not real long. This appears to be a nice neighborhood course to go out and have some fun with friends or family. Don't know what it will be like when it greens up? Worth the $21 I paid but not more. Kind of off the beaten path a little. Greens had been aireated so they were somewhat bumpy and were left fuzzy, I guess to help with the sanding afterwards? Go out and try it, pace of play was good and the staff were nice.

I played at The Hollows several times in 2011 and 2012. I had enjoyed playing there. Yesterday's outing disappointed me and I am reluctant to play there again. The greens had been aerated earlier this spring and were bumpy. The fairways were sparse in places. The first cut was laden with clover and dandelions making it difficult to find golf balls slightly off the fairway. The sand traps were hard packed. The only positive was that the course was empty. Perhaps others had similar experiences and haven't returned.

I got a screaming deal through GolfNow and would happily play this course again for the $20 I spent. That said, this course is very short (280 yard Par4s ?) without too much to challenge the average golfer.

Greens were in good shape but the fairways could use some attention.

cottage and lake were very nice. Greens needed rolled.

The course is beautifully kept and is fairly easy to play.

Played this course on Monday 4/8/13 fairways are in good shape. Greens still have sand from recent aerating but didn't seem to effect putting. Course has been worked on over the winter and the efforts are starting to payoff. Not a hard course but there are challenges along the way. Great value on GolfNow.

For the time of year and recent rain/snow this course was in really good shape. Great staff as usual.

The course is in good shape considering the snow, rain, and we are only coming out of winter. Play it several times a year and the staff is friendly.

27 holes - Good greens for winter play- par threes are good holes
